Restoration can be termed as returning something to its original state. In the case of paper, there are several agents of destruction, but the most common ones are water and smoke. However, the degree of damage will depend on age, quality, place of storage of the papers, and extent of exposure. Water makes the papers fragile and can easily tear. For rewritten documents the ink comes out and the words are not easily seen. While smoke destroys the top covers and the edges. To curb these effects, there are two categories of paper restoration New Jersey techniques, which are either traditional or modern.

Traditional methods are a bit old fashioned and are not subjected to a lot of research and experiments. They are also referred to as home made since they are mostly used at home and are used for small scale paper restoration.

A burnt book looks undesirable and may cause the reader to suffer from respiratory problems such as sneezing. It also requires the reader to read with extreme care as it may easily tear; hence, time consuming. To restore such a book, it requires you to remove the stains first.

Treatment of water, which can destroy papers, involves main two processes that is vacuum freeze drying and plasma fumigation. Vacuum freeze drying can only be able to remove the water from the paper. All the other effects such as mold are removed in the next step. This is because they require special conditions to eradicate.

Plasma fumigation involves the use of ionized particles in the form of a gas. The gas acts on the mold, but in order for it to destroy it there is need for carbonic acid. It is used for sterilization of damaged material and also to break the protective coating of the mold since it has components that can break the layer.

Smoke follows a particular pattern. It moves faster through building systems such as ventilation and plumbing. To treat extremely damaged smoke papers experts may use ozone chambers. These are machines that involve the use of the ozone gas to eliminate the stains and any nasty smell.

Use of fresheners and deodorants is another method. They have pleasant smells that replace that foul smell of the burnt book. This helps your book to look and smell new. To put all the above in a nut shell, paper restoration does not remove all the molds, but it helps in handling your delicate book and returning it to its original state.
