THE CAUSES THAT PRODUCES PAPER AGEINGCOULD BE DIVIDED IN TWO MAIN CATEGORIES:
• The category of internal or endogenous factors that consists of the raw materials nature and that consists of the raw materials nature and the manufacturing category of process
tparameters
• The category of external or endogenous factors that comprises the influence of environment that comprises the influence of environment (temperature, humidity, corrosive gases,
i i t )microorganisms etc)
The experimental program consists in an accelerated ageing process performed on:g g p p
a) samples of old documents naturally aged and manufactured in 1881 2006manufactured in 1881 ÷ 2006
b) tests realized on paper samples obtained at laboratory scale and in various conditions
