Nowadays, toilet paper is almost used by everyone and is one of the essential items in daily life, but there are still some unqualified toilet paper on the market. Compared to before, toilet paper manufacturers are constantly improving their production processes, but there are still some unqualified toilet paper circulating on the market. The main reasons for the unqualified toilet paper are:
In order to cater to the psychology of some consumers who purchase toilet paper, the whiteness of the paper is increased during production. Fluorescent whitening agents are added during production. However, fluorescent whitening agents are carcinogenic and can cause damage to the internal fibers of the paper after using a large amount of bleach, affecting the quality of the paper.
Some manufacturers, in order to reduce production costs, add talcum powder during production. Some also change the raw materials of toilet paper to wheat straw and tertiary household waste paper. Some manufacturers also add puffing machines, which can cause paper bacteria to exceed the standard and paper quality to be poor. During production, strict adherence to requirements and strict adherence to process conditions should be maintained.
The heavier the toilet paper, the better. When purchasing, it is important to consider the safety of the toilet paper first. While focusing on safety performance, it is also important to pay attention to the comfort and economy of toilet paper. Toilet paper of the same size, whether too light or too heavy, may have safety hazards. Paper that is too heavy, has low tensile strength, and is dusty may have added talcum powder, starch, etc. during the production process. Paper that is too light and has poor water absorption may have added softening and puffing agents.
When purchasing, one should not only focus on the weight of toilet paper, but also consider multiple factors such as color, odor, tensile strength, toughness, and water absorption. In addition, when purchasing, it is also important to pay attention to the packaging of the toilet paper, including whether the seal is intact, the appearance is neat, the information on the packaging is complete, and whether there is powder loss when the toilet paper shakes.
