Integrated Pest Management Products

Veloxy :

VELOXY® is an Anoxic-based system that allows the destruction of harmful insects / Microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and mold, etc.) on Cultural Heritage Materials. The system performs the disinfection process without harming Cultural Heritage and People.

The anoxia method used by the Veloxy System eliminates pests and microorganisms by simply depriving the working environment of oxygen for a few weeks. The VELOXY® System and intervention protocol are still the only protocols validated by scientific method in the laboratory.

The legality of the VELOXY ® system has been certified with reference to the SAVE ART (1998-2000) research project, which the European Union funded to promote a time-effective, easy-to-use and inexpensive technology against parasites that does not harm people, the environment and works of art. . Four ministry laboratories (Italy, Spain, England and Sweden) took part in the project and analyzed the effectiveness of this method and machine to make the project functional. The report on the successful use of this method was presented for the first time at the Congress held in Rio de Janeiro in 2003.

The SAVE ART Project has produced operational protocols to implement the anoxia method. These protocols have been fully adopted by all operators and SAVE ART has allowed the implementation of this method.

Conserver:

CONSERVER® is a vacuum preservation device specifically for organic and non-organic cultural materials;

CONSERVER® has been designed for Archives, Libraries and Museums, and it constantly develops it in accordance with the real needs of Archive, Library and Museum managers and ensures its success with its widespread use.

CONSERVER® eliminates air contained within a special clear plastic film (bag) enclosure by creating an adjustable level of vacuum and then creates a tight seal for the enclosure. The transparent plastic film in question also has special properties such as air and water vapor impermeability.

To increase long-term preservation capacity, CONSERVER®  can be equipped with an optional device that allows replacing air with nitrogen if desired. Anoxic bags can be used for disinfection, disaster recovery (floods), and slowing oxidation and damage caused by light.

CONSERVER® was produced in the early 2000s based on the real needs of some Archives, Library and Museum managers.

ABIOS:

The main causes of degradation of cultural materials are biological. Xylophageal insects, fungi, molds and bacteria; It causes huge, irreparable damage to the priceless collections in museums, archives and libraries. In general, all of these relics and stocks of cultural materials are partially or significantly damaged by infection and infestation.

Therefore, it was developed as an innovative device around the ABIOS® European Project (2005-2007), with the participation of the University of Rome, NILU Institute (Norway), Mycoteam (Norway), AMOS (Belgium) and the National Museum Krakow (Poland).

ABIOS® uses short-wavelength UV light to kill airborne spores and bacteria. Direct UV irradiation is not performed on the materials, but is inhibited by the specific design features of ABIOS® and the development of fluid dynamics geometry. Moreover, ozone formation in the environment does not occur as a result of adapting optical-opaque filters to the wavelength range responsible for ozone formation.

ABIOS® also contains a special catalyst supported by an aluminum honeycomb structure to completely eliminate traces of ozone through recycling to O2.

ABIOS®, With the test results, it was observed that the ozone concentration decreased to lower values ​​than those found in the laboratory before ABIOS® application.

Regarding disinfection, according to the test results carried out at the Università di Roma La Sapienza Microbiology Laboratory, a 99.98% reduction in microbial activity was recorded within 12 hours in a 40 cubic meter test room.
