JCB CONSERVACIÓN & ICM

icm
DESCRIPTION:

JCB CONSERVACIÓN presents the warm air regulated with humidity treatment “ICM”. This method is 100% effective and environmentally friendly, it has been used for more than 30 years to disinfect cultural heritage and works of art. Our mobile treatment unit has a capacity of 27 m3 to treat collections in situ. The 24-hour treatment cycles allow us to operate quickly, in any location. 

This method is scientifically proven and eliminates all types of xylophagous insects. Entomologists and specialists in the field confirm that insects living on any infested organic material (wood, textiles, paper, etc.) die when exposed to high temperatures (between 42 and 52°C) for a pre-defined period.  

During the ICM treatment, the RH is controlled, so there is no risk of damage to the constituent materials of the object. 

The RH control is based on the Keylwerth Diagram, so the EMC (equilibrium moisture content) in the objects remains unchanged and there is no volumetric or material change in the pieces undergoing treatment. 

The ICM treatment is perfectly suited to objects and materials made of paper, fabric, carpets, leather, ethnography collections, but also to furniture and musical instruments, polychrome and gilded sculptures, panel and canvas paintings.
