The IBIX system is widely used in restoration works for cleaning metal surfaces such as bronze, iron, and brass. Depending on the nature of the surface, either dry blasting or wet blasting (water spray) can be applied.
The system allows for precise cleaning, ensuring that oxidation or dirt is removed while preserving the shiny appearance and integrity of the material if necessary.
Yüzeylerde atmosferik şartlar, egzos gazı,is vb nedenlerle oluşan karbonlaşmış kir tabakalarının temizliğinde de IBIX kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle çalışılması zor olan taş yüzeylerde atmosferik şartlarla oluşan yoğun ve/veya kalkerleşmiş kir tabakalarının temizliğinde IBIX kullanımı ile malzemenin özgün dokusuna zarar vermeden hassas bir şekilde çalışma yapılabilmektedir.
The IBIX system is effectively used to clean carbonated dirt layers and deposits on surfaces caused by atmospheric conditions, exhaust gases, and urban pollution.
Cleaning operations for hard-to-remove layers on stone surfaces—such as calcified dirt or black crusts—are performed without harming the genuine texture of the material, ensuring the preservation of the original surface integrity.
The IBIX system is widely used to remove dirt layers caused by atmospheric conditions, exhaust gases, and urban pollution. It is particularly effective in treating stone surfaces affected by heavy atmospheric deposits or calcified dirt layers.
Thanks to the precision of IBIX, these stubborn layers are removed completely without harming the original texture or integrity of the material.
Tuğla ve terracotta gibi pişmiş toprak yapı malzemeleri ve eserlerin yüzey temizliği uygulamaları konusunda IBIX son derece başarılıdır. Bu tür yüzeylerde ki atmosferik kir, boya vb tabakalar malzemeye zarar vermeden temizlenebilmektedir.
With the “Light Touch” and “Surface Slip Effect,” IBIX ensures surface cleaning without harming the stone’s patina.
IBIX Micro Sandblasting Systems operate with a controlled, low-pressure, centrifugal flow (helical vortex), significantly reducing chemical and mechanical stress on the surface. The system:
These advantages ensure sensitive cleaning of historical artifacts, especially natural stone surfaces.
Protecting the patina during natural stone surface cleaning is essential. Patina acts as a protective endurance layer formed by natural aging, changing the color and texture of the stone surface. Improper cleaning methods can irreversibly damage this layer, leading to surface loss and permanent damage.
Below are examples of stone damage where the patina was compromised, leading to surface loss:
Thanks to its outstanding technology and absolute control capabilities, the IBIX system offers effective cleaning of natural stone surfaces without harming their patina.
