ArchivalPH

Predict paper degradation rates from pH and lignin content measurements

Scientific AIFree

ArchivalPH models cellulose chain scission kinetics from cold-extraction pH, degree of polymerization, and lignin content measurements to predict remaining useful life of archival paper documents. The tool recommends deacidification treatment urgency using the Library of Congress preservation risk matrix and estimates fold endurance loss over 50-year projection windows under controlled and uncontrolled storage conditions.

Key Features

• ✓Degradation rate modeling
• ✓Remaining life prediction
• ✓Deacidification urgency scoring
• ✓Fold endurance projection
• ✓LoC risk matrix
