Description
Opalescent hydrogel based on poly (vinyl alcohol) polymeric network. The gel has a pen shape of about 8 cm length and 1.5 cm in diameter. It allows for a controlled and localized humidification with a light mechanical action and can be used as a sort of ultra-delicate eraser for the removal of surface dirt.
The Nanorestore® Gel Peggy is useful when a controlled release of cleaning/detergent systems on a surface is necessary. Limiting the action of the cleaning systems used (water, solvents, micellar solutions, microemulsions, etc.) to the interphase gel/surface allows a more selective and controlled action during the removal of grime, dust and/or aged varnishes, reducing the risk of damaging the original materials and/or the underlying pictorial layer. Unlike the most common thickeners, used to increase the viscosity of liquids, gels can be considered as "containers," which allow putting the cleaning fluid in contact with the surface to be treated. Moreover, the gel can be removed from the surface by using tweezers or by delicately peeling the gel without the need to perform a potentially harmful mechanical action on the substrate.
Ok to be used for
- Removal of hydrosoluble dirt, grime or dust from canvas painting and in particular from irregular surfaces.
- Removal of hydrosoluble dirt, grime or dust from painting on wood.
- Removal of hydrosoluble dirt, grime or dust from textile articles.
- Removal of stains and patches from paper.
- Removal of aged varnishes from canvas paintings (in this case, Nanorestore® Gel Peggy should be loaded with solvents or Nanorestore® Cleaning formulations).
