Information @ a Glance 

Introduction

• Tissue paper with high absorption capacity can take up more water compare with the same gsm but lower absorption capacity tissue paper.

• Which means more water is absorb with little paper used, and hence save cost and environment friendly.

• High absorption capacity tissue paper can absorb more water with little paper, this will definitely help you save cost and save energy.

Production

• Tissue paper is produced on a paper machine that has a single large steam heated drying cylinder (yankee dryer) fitted with a hot air hood.

• The raw material is paper pulp. The yankee cylinder is sprayed with adhesives to make the paper stick. Creping is done by the yankee's doctor blade that is scraping the dry paper off the cylinder surface.

• The crinkle (crêping) is controlled by the strength of the adhesive, geometry of the doctor blade, speed difference between the yankee and final section of the paper machine and paper pulp characteristics.

• The highest water absorbing applications are produced with a through air drying (TAD) process. These papers contain high amounts of NBSK and CTMP.

• This gives a bulky paper with high wet tensile strength and good water holding capacity.

• The TAD process uses about twice the energy compared with conventional drying of paper.

• The properties are controlled by pulp quality, crêping and additives (both in base paper and as coating). The wet strength is often an important parameter for tissue paper.

Application

• Hygienic tissue paper is commonly used for facial tissue (paper handkerchiefs), napkins, bathroom tissue and household towels. Facial tissue (paper handkerchiefs) refers to a class of soft, absorbent, disposable paper that is suitable for use on the face. The importance of the paper tissue on minimising the spread of an infection has been highlighted in light of fears over a swine flu epidemic.

• In the UK, for example, the Government ran a campaign called “Catch it, bin it, kill it”, which encouraged people to cover their mouth with a paper tissue when coughing or sneezing.

• Paper towels are the second largest application for tissue paper in the consumer sector. This type of paper has usually a basis weight of 20 to 24 g/m2.

• Wrapping tissue is a type of thin, translucent paper used for wrapping and cushioning fragile items.

• Rolls of toilet paper have been available since the end of the 19th century. Today, more than 20 billion rolls of toilet tissue are used each year in Western Europe.

• Table napkins can be made of tissue paper. These are made from one up to four plies and in a variety of qualities, sizes, folds, colours and patterns depending on intended use and prevailing fashions.
