Sažetak
Paper and board, now and most probably also in the future the most important carriers of written and printed cultural heritage, can be of very different permanence and durability, depending on their composition (fibres, fillers, sizing agents, dyestuffs, pigments) and on the technological conditions of production. We studied coated and uncoated boards from various producers and of the same grammage, (ca 250 g/m2). The samples were submitted to accelerated ageing according to ISO 5630/3. From testing several chemical, mechanical, optical and surface qualities it become obvious that their retention depended mainly upon fibre composition and type of coating pigment. Low chemical and mechanical stability is proportional to the content of thermochemical pulp (TCP), chemo-thermo-mechanical pulp (CTMP) and recycled fibres. The change of surface properties is strongly influenced by the type of coating (binders, pigments). After ageing the surface roughness increased while absorbency both increased and decreased. The change in optical properties of the boards were quite high ; brightness decreased while yellowness increased, both due to chemical changes in the fibre composition and the surface coating and due to the degradation of optical brighteners.
