Hello,

I have a question about the interaction of the glass surface (soda-lime glass) with moisture and white paper. I would like to find some sources of information (articles, publications, studies, etc.). I have not yet found anything specific in the available libraries.

I have found experimentally that when wrapping glass in white paper (to store it), there is a problem with leaching of ions from the glass. This changes the adhesion properties of the glass.

I know that white paper is not generally recommended for packing and storing glass. Bleached paper reacts with Na ions from the glass. The low concentration of sodium ions on the glass surface results in further leaching of ions from the glass to the surface. And also deacidified paper has a so-called alkaline reserve. Glass is less resistant to alkaline environments, especially in connection with humidity.

I would like to know more. Please do you have experience with this phenomenon? Alternatively, can you send me links to publications that deal with this?

Thank you.
