A method of remediating a media asset comprising a magnetic tape includes preliminarily cleaning the media asset, treating the media asset, and finally cleaning the media asset. Treating the media asset includes baking the media asset, determining whether adjacent layers of the tape are stuck to each other, and re-baking the media asset. If adjacent layers of the tape are stuck to each other, the method includes submerging the magnetic tape in a cleaning bath for a predetermined period of time, unwinding the magnetic tape from a supply reel to a take-up reel at an unwind speed while drying the magnetic tape, and rewinding the magnetic tape onto the supply reel at a rewind speed before re-baking the media asset.

A method for preparing a deacidifying and reinforcing agent for a cellulose acetate film includes steps of: ultrasonically dispersing a nanometer alkaline oxide into an ethyl cellulose n-butanol solution, so as to form a nanometer alkaline oxide suspension, then adding a mixture of E51 EPOXY RESIN and a curing agent thereof; wherein the nanometer alkaline oxide is a nanometer magnesium oxide, a nanometer cerium oxide, a nanometer magnesium hydroxide, a nanometer potassium carbonate, a nanometer calcium hydroxide or a nanometer barium hydroxide. A method for using the deacidifying and reinforcing agent includes steps of: evenly applying the deacidifying and reinforcing agent on a surface of a cellulose acetate film.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for diagnosing film degradation which can identify the degraded state of a film based on a resin more efficiently and reliably than ever. In order to attain this object, a method for diagnosing the degradation of a film based on a resin is adopted, the method comprising using the following analysis method A and/or analysis method B, which is a non-destructive analysis method: analysis method A: confirming the presence or absence of abnormality in the film by visual observation and olfactometry, and analysis method B: confirming the presence or absence of an acid anhydride and a sign of hydrolysis reaction as to the film by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis.
