Treatment of cellulosic materials
First Claim
1. A soft spray system for treatment of cellulosic materials having an image thereon, a delivery system in communication with a container and terminating in an airless spray gun, a deacidification solution in the container minimizing acid attack and aging of cellulosic materials, said solution including a deacidification agent comprising carbonated magnesium alkoxides, a lower alcohol for solubilizing said agent, said lower alcohol being present in an amount sufficient to dissolve said agent and less than that which will detrimentally affect the image, a diluent for said alcohol solution, a propellant having a boiling point below 0°
- F. and an inert gas in such amount as to maintain a substantially uniform pressure in the container, said propellant serving to propel said deacidification solution from said container through said delivery system to said spray gun, and said solution and said propellant being substantially free from carbon dioxide gas.

Abstract
A treatment system for cellulosic materials is provided which is particularly adapted for the manual treatment of single pages of books, as well as documents, engineering drawings, maps, and works of art on paper. The system includes a deacidification, self-pressurized solution comprising a deacidification agent, a lower alcohol solvent for the agent, a diluent, and a propellant; delivery apparatus for shipping, storing, and spraying the solution; and a novel cleaning solution for use in conjunction with the deacidification solution and apparatus.
