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.
