Talking about paper softener improving the softness of tissue paper

As with any other industry, the supply of auxiliaries to household paper (toilet paper, napkins, facial tissues, diaper liners, wipes, cotton pads, etc.) is recognized by end users of tissue paper and continues to improve performance. Expected value increases. A few years ago, when the Hongqi Textile Dyeing and Finishing Auxiliary Factory added a barrel of debonding agent to the dryer chemical feed pump, he heard the word “softness”. However, sometimes we would ask this is really the best method. Can we conduct detailed studies on this and provide users with various solutions suitable for improving the softness of the fiber materials used?

The process of improving softness may not have been from paper machines or even from paper mills. First, we must understand the softness that the user wants to achieve and other parameters that affect the softness or no change. We started by using one of two ways to understand softness or sensation. First, we use volume softness, which can also be called flexible or drape of toilet paper. This is the feeling we get when we wrinkle toilet paper by hand. In addition to some other properties, it is also related to bulk, tensile strength and stiffness. Then we use surface softness, which is what we feel when we move our fingers on the toilet paper. Its evaluation value is related to the friction coefficient. Combining these two major values ​​with other more sensitive sensations can give consumers the desired feel.

Modern chemical suppliers must keep abreast of the technology trends and regional trends in the tissue industry. For example, consumers' perceptions and requirements for toilet paper in the Gulf, Central Europe, and North America are quite different.

After determining the required final results, we focus on effective resources. The limits for achieving the target feel value include the types of pastes, water quality, production equipment, and their service life, as well as the training level and experience of production personnel and maintenance personnel. Other consumables, such as scrapers, felts, forming nets, and chemicals, must also be considered. All of these consumables are within the available budget and have a certain influence on the change in softness. It is well-known that increasing the hardwood pulp content in a sheet can achieve high softness, but the paper sheet on a Yankee dryer tends to break off, and if the sheet does not survive the process, this solution is not acceptable.

In recent years, efforts have been made to focus on the softness of the paper. As people's quality of life continues to improve, people are increasingly demanding toilet paper, napkins, facial tissues, diaper liners, wipes, and cotton pads. With the continuous improvement of requirements, the research and development of paper softeners by Acer's researchers will greatly improve the feel of paper products, improve the surface softness of tissue paper, and absorb water, antistatic properties, and bacteriostasis of paper. Sex also has a certain role. The appearance of macro paper softener is milky white emulsion. The PH value is controlled between 6~7 and the solid content of active material is >30%. It is a kind of new type that can absorb the fiber and increase the softness of paper, making the paper feel comfortable and soft. Paper additives.
