Permalife® bond paper
Credit: University Products

Description

Paper that contains no free acids, thus providing greater permanence and durability. The paper is typically produced from Cotton linters, rags, Esparto grass, or Chemical wood pulp which minimizes the potential for acid and/or Lignin in the pulp. Acid-free paper may also contain a buffering material to maintain a PH in the neutral to slightly alkaline range. This helps scavenge any acidic materials formed by bleaching residues, sizes, degradation products, or air pollutants.

See also Alkaline reserve.

Synonyms and Related Terms

acid free paper; archival paper; Permalife paper; lignin-free paper; permanent paper; zuurvrij paper (Ned.); papier exempt d'acide (Fr.); säurefrei (Deut.); säurefreies Papier (Deut.); carta non acida (It.); carta esente da acidi (It.); papel exento de ácido (Esp.); papel sin ácido (Esp.); syrafritt papper (Sven.)
