Toilet paper is one of the most important sanitary products in our daily life. It is an indispensable daily necessities for us. So, how much do you know about toilet paper? Can you easily judge its pros and cons and choose a suitable one? What about one?
In fact, there are eight common indicators of toilet paper:
Appearance: When you look at the outer packaging, you should first check the outer packaging when choosing toilet paper. The packaging and sealing of the product should be neat and firm, without damage; the packaging should be printed with the name of the manufacturer, date of production, product grade (high-quality product, qualified product), standard number adopted, and the number of sanitary standards implemented. Second, look at the appearance of the paper, the surface of the paper should be clean, there should be no obvious dead folds, defects, damage, hard lumps, raw grass tendons, pulp lumps and other paper diseases and impurities, and there should be no serious lint or shedding when using the paper Powder phenomenon, there should be no residual printing ink in the paper.
Quantitative: Refers to whether the weight or the number of sheets is enough. According to relevant regulations, generally, the net content of commodities is 50 grams to 100 grams, and the negative deviation shall not exceed 4.5 grams; the commodities of 200 grams to 300 grams shall not exceed 9 grams.

Whiteness: The whiteness of toilet paper is related to raw materials, such as the choice of cotton pulp and wood pulp raw materials. If the cotton pulp is added with starch, the density of the pulp powder will be more uniform and neat. As in the past when people starched the sheets (cotton quilts, used cotton fabrics), the cotton fabrics are clean and tidy without wrinkles after being starched. Using cotton stalks and cotton linters as raw materials, it is made by heating with an appropriate amount of alkaline water at high temperature, and it contains relatively pure cellulose. The fibers are slender and elastic, tough and foldable, and have good absorbency. The resulting paper is fine and soft with a high degree of opacity. Cotton linters are those coarse batts that are filtered through the first process of ginning the fine batt portion of cotton for weaving. For example, cotton stalks are rich in plant fibers, and some short fibers remain on cotton seeds (hair seeds). These short fibers are peeled off with a fluffing machine, which is called “cotton linters”. Cotton linters are composed of three parts; the first part comes from the longer fibers of the “hair head”; the second part comes from the fibers on the seed that are broken by the gin; the third part is a short and Dense fibers, which are the main component of cotton linters.
