To improve the disintegration potential of toilet grade tissue paper
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Disintegration potential of toilet grade tissue paper is one of the most important parameter keeping in mind the worldwide water scarcity faced by human race in current decade. The aim of this experimental study is to improve the disintegration potential of toilet tissue. Softener is used as debonding material. The right amount dry strength required by Toilet tissue is maintained by controlled fiber refining. High fiber bonding would lower the disintegration potential of the tissue paper, thus hampering the aim of study. The initial freeness of the pulp slurry was found 16°SR. It was then further refined in controlled manner to various degrees of freeness (i. e. 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30°SR). Bulk, Strength properties along with disintegration time and softness of 15GSM hand sheets prepared from each set of pulp slurry was investigated. Turbidity test was done to check the cloudiness. Upon analysing, it was found that the paper developed at 24°SR freeness having bulk 4.85 cc/gm, breaking length 750 meter, softness 80 Hand feel units, and disintegration time 08 seconds was most suitable having the better softness, optimum strength and higher disintegration potential as compared to the benchmarked samples.
