Abstract The present work describes some preliminary results of a first attempt to study the effect of a conservation treatment on the adhesion strength of ancient ceramic tiles. Several tiles from the 16th through 20th centuries were submitted to a conservation treatment. The treatment involves the impregnation with Paraloid B-72 using a protocol widely used in most museum restoration departments. Treated and untreated tiles were attached to a brick surface with a bonding mortar. After 3 months, pull-off tests were performed in treated and untreated samples and the tensile adhesion strength was determined. Although a small number of samples was analyzed, the adhesion strength was found to increase for treated tiles in comparison with the pull-off strength of untreated samples.
