Review: The softness of hygiene tissue

The hygiene tissue industry has an extensive global market that is quickly growing. Market research indicated softness one of consumers’ most highly desired properties. For certain products (specifically bath tissue), this property can influence prices. A better understanding the science would allow companies to engineer soft more economically and efficiently. Softness a subjective perception related physical aspects make it challenging express measure. Human handfeel panel testing, which ranks specimens through tests, been recognized as reliable method measure softness. Much effort expanded in correlating test results with some measurable In regard, equipment recently developed by combining several different mechanical, surface, acoustic properties characterize comparison these instruments (e.g., analyzer) have found give equivalent metrics. combination materials selection manufacturing operations are used create softer sheets. This paper reviews sensation perceived human touch, techniques for measuring softness, fiber on techniques, additives enhancement.
