SIDE EFFECTS INDUCED BY THE USE OF SEVERAL IONIC FIXATIVES:
COLOUR CHANGES THROUGH ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL AGEING
Marine Letouzey 1 *, Véronique Rouchon 2 , Maud Barbalat 2
Anionic and cationic fixatives are extensively used in the conservation field. Their efficiency
has been tested and reported in the literature but little information is available on the longterm
effects of their use.
In this study, these effects were evaluated on three sample papers. Two are white and
contain no additives. The third is light brown and made of a mixture of sulphite bleached
mechanical pulp, sized with rosin and alum. Two anionic fixatives (Mesitol® NBS, Rewin®
KBL) and two cationic fixatives (Sandofix®, Rewin® EL) were prepared in several
concentrations ranging 1 to 10 %. A mixture of both kinds (available on the market) was also
tested. Two fixation procedures, representing the approximate extremes of use, were
chosen. In the first, the papers were impregnated with the fixatives and not washed. In the
second, the papers were impregnated with the fixatives, washed, dried and then de-acidified
in a calcium bicarbonate solution. Artificial and natural light ageing, as well as artificial
climatic ageing were then carried out. Mechanical testing (0-span) showed no change after
ageing. However significant fluorescence phenomena and colour changes occurred
especially on the white papers. While the most important changes were observed on the
white unwashed papers, significant changes also occurred on washed and de-acidified
samples.
Mesitol® NBS was by far the most reactive fixative. This work demonstrates that the use of
ionic fixatives induces long term effects on the cellulose, even after a washing and deacidification
treatment.
