Egyptian faience is one of the most important archaeological materials that contain a lot of historical and technical information about ancient Egyptian civilization. Unfortunately, the Egyptian faience objects subject to many deterioration factors, especially humidity. Water has a direct role in dissolving the soluble components, it accelerates the physiochemical deterioration processes. In the present study, four materials (nano-products) are tested and evaluated as protective agents for the preservation of Egyptian faience objects. For this reason static water contact angle, colorimertric and compressive strength measurements are carried out on a comparative basis. Moreover SEM, XRD and water absorption studies are carried out.
