Document Recovery & Restoration
When products are exposed to moulds, bacteria and insects (due
to natural disasters, human interaction and products being left in
storage for a number of years) a variety of problems can
occur. Isotron has worked with a variety of organisations
involved in the restoration and recovery market in Europe for over
15 years, helping with:
- Cleaning contaminated documents for the relocation of document
libraries
- Preserving local history in record offices by preventing
spoilage of historic documents
- Stopping the contamination of vital research documents in
libraries
- Restoring critical commercial documentation for businesses that
were affected by floods
How does it work?
Isotron works closely with our restoration and
recovery customers to create bespoke solutions to answer their
specific needs. This can involve having discussions on suitable
dose ranges to remove contamination or even sample testing to find
out the best processes that are needed for an effective result. We
aim to provide solutions that minimally effect the product, provide
the most efficient and safest outcomes, and answer all of your
needs in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Why treat documents?
Untreated documents that have been affected by bacteria, mould
and spores can result in problems in both for the short and
long-term. This can result in:
- Cross-contamination of other stored articles
- A continued downward spiral of contamination to point of
disposal
- Total loss of items through non-treatment, or insufficient
treatment methods
Low levels of irradiation offer a complete solution to these
problems, in contrast to other techniques which only partially
solve the problems caused by contamination and spoilage. The safe
service that Isotron offers is both fast and cost effective in
comparison to other techniques used for restoration and
recovery.
