USE OF THE MICRO-NEBULIZER IN RESTORATION
MICRO-NEBULIZERS IN RESTORATION: A DELICATE REVOLUTION FOR PRECIOUS SURFACES
Micro-nebulizers are emerging as innovative tools in the restoration field, offering a revolutionary cleaning method for delicate and precious artifacts.
• Operating principle:
Unlike traditional pressure washers, which use a high-pressure water jet, micro-nebulizers generate a very fine mist of hot or cold water, combined with an adjustable air flow.
Advantages:
• Gentle cleaning: Micro-atomization allows for extremely gentle cleaning, effectively removing dirt, encrustations, paint, and surface deposits without damaging the underlying substrate.
• Precise accessibility: The mist jet reaches even the most difficult-to-reach areas with other methods, such as ornate sculptures, bas-reliefs, and uneven surfaces.
• Precise control: The pressure, flow rate, and temperature of the mist can be precisely adjusted to suit the specific needs of each surface.
• Minimal water consumption: Micro-misters use less water than traditional pressure washers, minimizing the risk of water damage.
• Versatility: Micro-nebulizers can be used on a wide variety of materials, including stone, wood, frescoes, paper, and fabrics.

Examples of applications:
• Graffiti removal: Micro-misting is an effective method for removing graffiti from walls, statues, and other surfaces, with better results than traditional methods such as chemical solvents or sandblasting.
• Cleaning sculptures and artifacts: The delicacy of the mist jet makes it ideal for cleaning sculptures, stone artifacts, frescoes, and other delicate objects.
• Surface consolidation: Micro-spraying can be used to apply consolidants and other treatment products to fragile surfaces.
• Removal of varnish and paint: Micro-spray is an effective method for removing flaking varnish and paint without damaging the underlying surface.
