is a treatment used to neutralise acids in papers Deacidification sprays should not be used on photographs
The process of extending the life of acid paper two to four times by (1) neutralizing the acid that causes paper embrittlement, (2) depositing basic magnesium carbonate to protect against reacidification, and (3) inhibiting trace metals (iron, copper, and cobalt) from catalyzing oxidative reactions which discolor paper The solvents: ethyl alcohol, tetraflouroethane, and 1 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane dissolve and transport the deacidification agent methoxy magnesium methyl carbonate into the paper This organic magnesium carbonate reacts naturally with air to form the benign long-term protector basic magnesium carbonate
An alkaline-salt process that raises the pH level in paper It impregnates the paper with a high alkaline reserve and neutralizes existing acids while preventing the development of future acids
Common term for a chemical treatment that neutralizes acid in materials such as paper While deacidification increases the chemical stability of paper, it does not restore strength or flexibility to brittle materials
A common term for a chemical treatment that neutralises acid in a material such as paper, and that may deposit an alkaline buffer to counteract future acid attack While deacidification may increase the chemical stability of paper, it does not restore strength or flexibility to brittle materials
A common term for a chemical treatment that neutralized acid in a material such as paper and deposits an alkaline buffer to counteract future acid attack The term is being slowly replaced with the more accurate phrase "neutralization and alkalization" While deacidification increases the chemical stability of paper, it does not restore strength or flexibility to brittle materials
