What are Tissue Papers, Its uses, Applications and Sustainability.

1. TISSUE PAPERS

2. What are Tissue Papers?
 Tissue paper or simply tissue is a lightweight paper or, light crêpe paper.
Tissue can be made from recycled paper pulp.
 Thin, translucent paper used for wrapping or for protecting delicate articles.
An unspecified product made of tissue (absorbent paper), such as bathroom
tissue, paper handkerchief or household towel.

4. Properties of Tissue Papers
• Absorbency
• Basis weight
• Thickness (caliper)
• Bulk (specific volume)
• Brightness
• Stretch
• Appearance
• Comfort

5. 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.

6. Applications
• Hygienic tissue paper
• Tissue-pack marketing
• Facial tissues
• Paper towels
• Wrapping tissue
• Toilet tissue
• Table napkins
• Acoustic disrupter
