Fiber Identification

Page 2 of 2

The paper samples did not have any detectable mechanical (high lignin) pulp fibers
which would be effected by photodegredation from UV light. There is a strong UV
fluorescence in both samples, which indicates optical brightening agents. In the small
punch outs, significant fluorescence differences were not detected. It could not be
determined if these samples were effected by contact with UV light, but long exposure
to UV light has been known to lower the whiteness of paper. A noticeable particulate
material was observed on one side of the punch outs. This particulate may also affect
the UV fluorescence of paper. The main inorganic substance in these particulates was
found to be iron. The EDS spectra are enclosed. The nature of this material implies
contact on one surface of the papers.
Spot tests show the same consistent reactions for starch and pH levels between the two
samples. The fiber content of the two vials is consistent with coming from the same mill
and production run.
