Revolutionize Your Conservation Treatments with Unparalleled Control and Versatility

Imagine a cleaning product that delivers precision, minimises risk, and simplifies even the most complex conservation challenges. NEVEK is not just another cleaning agent; it's a breakthrough in agar-agar technology, designed to empower conservators with unprecedented control and flexibility.

Why NEVEK is Essential for Your Practice:

Unmatched Control: NEVEK's thermoreversible (reversed when exposed to heat) when gel structure provides precise control over moisture and solvent release. This means you can target specific areas of soiling or residues without risking damage to delicate substrates.
Ready-to-Use Convenience: Say goodbye to laborious agar powder preparation. NEVEK arrives ready to apply, saving you valuable time and ensuring consistent results.
Gentle Yet Effective: NEVEK's unique formulation minimises adhesion, making it ideal for sensitive surfaces prone to blistering, delamination, or heat damage.
Versatility Beyond Compare:
- Aqueous and Solvent Compatibility: Seamlessly incorporate aqueous solutions, surfactants, chelating agents, and even apolar solvents like ligroin, creating custom cleaning solutions tailored to your specific needs.
- Thermoreversible Flexibility: Use NEVEK as a rigid gel for targeted extraction or transform it into a fluid for broader applications.
- Adaptable Application: Apply by hand, spatula, brush, or even on vertical surfaces, thanks to its thixotropic properties.
Minimises Penetration, Maximises Extraction: NEVEK's unique gel structure limits the penetration of liquids into porous materials, ensuring that cleaning action is focused on the surface. Simultaneously, it acts like a sponge, effectively absorbing solubilised materials.
Residue-Free Results: NEVEK leaves no residue, eliminating the need for extensive rinsing and simplifying your workflow.

Applications Across All Conservation Disciplines:

Stone, Plaster, and Mural Cleaning: Safely remove dirt, residues, and salts from delicate surfaces.
Paintings (Panel and Canvas): Extract varnishes, old adhesives, and surface grime with exceptional precision.
Archaeological Finds: Gently clean and desalinate fragile artefacts.
Paper and Wood: Remove unwanted coatings and residues without damaging the substrate.
Polychrome Surfaces: Clean and treat delicate painted surfaces with confidence.

Simplified Application for Exceptional Results:

Apply NEVEK directly from the container for water-soluble substance removal.
Heat for a fluid application, perfect for reaching intricate surfaces.
Modify with up to 50% additives (surfactants, solvents, chelating agents) for enhanced performance.
Easily remove with a dry brush or Japanese paper.

Try NEVEK and experience the future of conservation cleaning. Available per kilo.

Storage: Store in tightly closed containers at ambient temperature. NEVEK's formulation prevents microbiological degradation.
