What is the difference between paper rolls and tissues?

1： There is actually a difference between tissues and toilet paper

Firstly, tissue paper needs to come into direct contact with the face, so hygiene requirements are very strict. The national regulations limit the bacterial content of each gram of tissue paper to 200 units, while the requirements for toilet paper are relatively relaxed, as long as it does not exceed 600 units. In other words, the toilet paper we use every day contains three times as many bacteria as tissues. It can be imagined that if we frequently wipe our mouths with toilet paper, there are still certain health risks.

Secondly, the concept of natural wood pulp and pure wood pulp that we see when purchasing tissues is not the same. According to national regulations, tissues must use natural wood pulp, while toilet paper can use pure wood pulp, which is a recycled material and not a pure natural material.

In addition, the requirements for fluorescent whitening agents during the production of toilet paper and tissues are different. As tissues need to come into direct contact with the face, it is not allowed to add fluorescent whitening agents. However, toilet paper does not have clear requirements for this addition. Friends who are accustomed to using toilet paper to wipe their faces must pay attention.

2、 Is yellow log paper healthier?

Nowadays, everyone advocates for health and wellness, and log paper is becoming more and more popular in the market. These papers look yellow, but is log paper really better?

Wood pulp paper, also known as original color paper, is mainly different from white paper in terms of technology. White paper needs to be bleached before production, while original color paper does not. But this type of paper has not been bleached and has a high content of pulp and wood. The resulting paper is relatively hard, so more softeners and wet strength agents need to be added than white paper.

Experts say that overall, colored paper still contains fewer toxic chemicals, but this does not determine which type of paper is better. We only need to choose reputable manufacturers and big brand tissues every day, without worrying too much about whether they are white or natural. It should be noted that this type of paper is relatively rough and not recommended for infants and young children.

3、 Tips for purchasing tissues in daily life

Firstly, toughness

You can try a tissue that is harder than a tissue. Gently pulling on it will cause wrinkles, but it will not break. If you choose a tissue that breaks easily, it indicates poor quality.

Secondly, feel

High quality paper towels have a high sugar content, are delicate and soft to the touch, and will not lose powder or hair. Conversely, some low-quality paper towels may feel rough and may fall off.

Thirdly, legitimate brands

It is recommended to choose a reputable manufacturer and go to a reputable supermarket to purchase tissues. The tissues produced by well-known brands are guaranteed to be of good quality and beneficial to the body.
