Dear Dr.Stbbs-lee
Yuou cann gen exaustive explanation on VELOX (that
works as ZERO O2 FLEXY CUBE) at the laboratory of restoration and
conservation of The National Royal Musum of Toronto Canada. They are
using Veloxy since several years : Ask fo Helen Coxton .
To use oxygen
scavengers some time is quite expensive and complicate.
Sincerely
ERCOLE GIALDI from RGI bioSteril Tech Genova Italy
Should you need
references, Veloxy is on the market since more or less 15 years ans al
our customers are fully satisfied: Small enough , light, easy to be
used and minimum need of maintenance

Could
someone please point me toward some resource material where I can read
up on ZerO2 Flexi Cubes? It sounds interesting and I’d only just
recently heard of them (on this list), and a quick Google search didn’t
come up with anything.
Thanks,

Tom,
For woodworm 30 days @ 25 dec @ 0.2% oxygen is the minimum. For
other insects the time can be much shorter. As listed in; http://www.
getty.
edu/conservation/publications_resources/pdf_publications/inertgases.
pdf page 69. For some moths it could be 3 days. However, in all the
many cases I have been involved in, time has never been an issue. In
many situations many of the things we work on are in long term storage
anyway. The other point is that most of the things we treat are large.
In case study 26, there was no freezer on site. To freeze the
collection they would have had to be moved off site to a huge freezer
facility 100’s of miles away. No way !, these are fragile, priceless
items and cannot leave the site. I think ZerO2 is far safer and more
cost effective than freezing or heating or any other method in the
situations where use it.
Yes I agree with your other point; No method
should be used in isolation. When collections are safely in FlexiCubes,
that is the time to deep clean the area and residual spray when you can
and continue monitoring..

Colin -
Is
30 days the normal exposure time? I realize certain items, i.e. in
this case large items, cannot be frozen, but freezing takes 72 hours;
two successive treatments if wood worm is the problem. Even though
the infested items have been treated with ZerO2, there is a strong
likelihood this home remains infested with WCM's. Attics and basements
often contain reservoir populations. Check the Christmas display
items, stuffed toy animals, old dolls, fur coats, woolen suits, and
other clothing stored in closets and attics. I have often found WCM
infestations in cedar closets.
