ICM UK (Integrated Contamination Management UK Ltd - formerly Thermo Lignum UK Ltd) is part of leading conservation and restoration company; IPARC (International Platform for Art Research and Conservation). The humidity regulated warm air treatment used by ICM® is a 100% effective and eco-friendly method for treating a wide variety of materials which have been attacked by insect pests. All life-cycle stages of insects that inhabit any organic material will die when exposed to warm temperatures over a defined period of time during our ICM® humidity regulated treatment. During the ICM® treatment, the humidity is controlled – and so there are no risks of harm to the objects. Because there are no chemicals or noxious gases involved in the treatment, there is no risk to your health or the environment. The machinery and materials have been developed to require a low energy intake for each treatment. The carbon footprint of the technology is therefore very low.The warm air treatment of moveable heritage and art works is perfectly suitable for objects in paper, textiles, leather, fur, ethnographic pieces, furniture, musical instruments, polychromatic sculptures and paintings. The treatment can be used in the fight against heritage eating insects, including clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella, Tinea pellionella), varied carpet beetles (Anthrenus verbasci), silverfish (Lepisma saccharina), the grey silverfish or so called ‘paperfish' (Ctenolepisma longicaudata), common woodworm (Anobium punctatum), powder post beetle (Lyctus brunneus) and biscuit beetle (Stegobium paniceum) among many others.Our services can be offered at our service centre in London or in-situ with our mobile chamber for large scale projects. Chamber leases are also offered for owners of large collections.ICM also have service centres in Brussels and Berlin.Site visits and reporting are also available to advise clients in IPM.
