Acid free paper

General requirements for "acid-free" paper:
  • made from any cellulose fiber, as long as the active acid pulp is eliminated during processing
  • pH minimum of 8.5 (anything over 7 is alkaline)
  • a buffer of calcium carbonate of about 3% to supply alkaline reserves
  • lignin and sulfur free
  • 25% cotton or rag for strength (100% is even better)
