Abstract
A study has been made of the effects of copper oxinate and nickel oxinate on the actinic degradation of cotton fabric. Both compounds were found to be protective at all concentrations studied, and their behavior is considered to relate to the fact that they are stable metal chelates and not ionic salts, which are known to accelerate the degradation of cotton. Furthermore, both compounds were found to absorb light in the high-energy ultraviolet region. The results are discussed in terms of structure and degree of ultra violet absorption of the compounds.Keywords
