containing a buffer{5}; -- of solutions, usually aqueous solutions.
Adding alkaline substances to materials after removing the acids to protect the product against acid migration in the future.
A term used in the paper industry designating that an alkaline filler has been added during the paper making process, which makes the paper acid-free. It also increases the smoothness of the paper surface, improves brightness and opacity, and helps prevent ink from feathering.
Pertaining to an acid or base solution to which a substance capable of neutralizing the acid or base has been added.
Acid free and contains 2% calcium carbonate (or other compound) to act as a barrier to reduce future acid contamination. See Also Archival webpage
A paper / matting having a slightly higher than neutral ph, typically used to counter the effect that an acid based work of art on paper would have upon itself, i.e., self destructing.
Buffered means adding logic, particularly drivers, to a SIMM or DIMM to increase the output current. Buffering is used to overcome signal attenuation due to capacitive loading. Modules that are "buffered" usually have small buffer chips mounted on them.
Products capable of maintaining the core of a solution. (Buffered paper prevents acid from moving from a photograph to a paper).
The addition of an alkaline reserve to a material to control the pH over an extended time. The term is commonly used in the paper industry to identify that alkaline filler has been added during the papermaking process to offset any acid that is present or that it may come in contact with later. Common buffers for paper are magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate. In addition to papers, buffering is sometimes used in adhesives and other materials where the manufacturer wants to control the pH.
Papers which have had the acid neutralised, usually by the addition of calcium carbonate, to enhance their longevity. Buffered paper is usually safe for use with your photos as it is acid free.
The process of adding neutral or alkaline substances to material to counteract acids that may form. Archival Quality items sometimes have this process done to them.
Refers to pills coated with a special substance that neutralizes stomach acid. Drugs are buffered to reduce stomach upset or increase absorption by the intestines.
