- Résumé
- This project stems from the deodorizing treatment of a smoke-damaged acrylic painting, completed during a summer internship. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effect of a dilute oxidizing agent, sodium chlorite in water, on the surface of an acrylic paint film. Sodium chlorite has little use in conservation, currently, but has been used in the past as bleach for paper objects. Sodium chlorite is used in industry as a deodorizer, especially on smells caused by protein deposits. Conservators encounter such protein deposits in the form of smoke-damage to objects. Protein-based sources of smoke burn with a white or invisible smoke and leave a fine, smelly, invisible soot deposit. In the treatment of the acrylic painting, although formal tests were not used to determine if the invisible, eflluvient soot deposit was protein based, a commercial product of dilute sodium chlorite called Smells Begone was carefully used in the successful removal of odor from the painting.
