Tissue Paper

Tissue paper is a lightweight paper that can be made from both virgin and recycled paper pulp.
Tissue paper is used to make a huge range of products with a wide range of different properties. Some of the key properties are strength, absorbency, basis weight, thickness, brightness, stretch, appearance. Coloured tissue paper is also available in a wide range of colours including black, burgundy, cerise, brown, cream, dark blue, dark green, forest green, lilac, lime green, orange, pale blue, pale pink, purple, red, sky blue.
Tissue paper is produced on a paper machine that has a single large steam heated drying cylinder called a yankee dryer that is fitted with a hot air hood. The raw material is paper pulp and is sprayed with adhesives inside the yankee cylinder to make the paper stick. Creping is done by the yankee’s doctor blade that is scraping the dry paper off the cylinder surface. The crinkle is controlled by the strength of the adhesive, geometry of the doctor blade, speed difference between the yankee and final section of the paper machine and paper pulp characteristics.
The properties are controlled by pulp quality and additives both in base paper and as coating.
Hygienic tissue paper is commonly used for paper handkerchiefs, napkins, bathroom tissue and household towels. Paper has been used for hygiene purposes for centuries, but tissue papers as we know it today was not produced in USA before the 1940s with western europe not starting large scale industrial production until the early 1960s.
A napkin or serviette is a rectangle of cloth or paper used at the table for wiping the mouth while eating. It is usually small and folded. The word comes from Middle English, borrowing the French nappe—a cloth covering for a table—and adding -kin, the diminutive suffix.
The word serviette in lieu of term napkin is not typically used in the United States, but in Canada the two terms are interchangeable.
Conventionally, the napkin is folded and placed to the left of the place setting, outside the outermost fork. In an ambitious restaurant setting or a caterer’s hall, it may be folded into more or less elaborate shapes and displayed on the empty plate. A napkin may also be held together in a bundle with cutlery by a napkin ring. Alternatively, paper napkins may be contained with a napkin holder.
