Hygiene and Tissue Papers

Innovative solutions for sustainable production.

The tissue and towel industry is a key segment of the pulp and paper sector. It is dedicated to producing paper products for personal hygiene and household use, such as facial tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins. This industry prioritizes product characteristics like softness, strength, and absorbency to meet consumer needs for comfort and effective cleaning. 

Specificities of this Paper

Hygiene and tissue papers are special because they require different drying methods compared to other papers, utilizing a yankee. To optimize production, the chemicals must be adapted to work effectively with the yankee. Creping the sheet enhances the softness and bulk of the paper, while coating ensures smooth operation, protection, and efficiency of the yankee cylinder. Together, these processes improve the overall quality, performance, and strength of the tissue papers.
