Difference Between Toilet Paper and Paper Napkin

What is the difference between toilet paper and paper napkin? As a professional toilet paper roll manufactuer and supplier, let us show you the difference between toilet paper and napkin. Although rolling paper and tissue paper napkin appear to be different in paper form, they are actually two different products with different raw materials and different testing standards.

We wholesale paper napkins for 10+ years. We know well that roll paper is generally toilet paper, and toilet paper is tissue paper. Daily usage scenarios are also completely different. The hygienic standards of paper napkins are stricter than those of rolling paper, and they are also more hygienic and safer. Production standards are different. You can check the production standards on the packaging to determine the paper type. Tissue paper napkin emphasizes "wet tensile strength", which refers to the tear resistance of the paper in a completely wet state, which means that the paper cannot rot when exposed to water. Paper towels with low wet tensile strength will leave a mess of shredded paper after washing your face, and the paper will break when you poke it. Toilet paper, on the other hand, is required to dissolve when exposed to water.

The difference between toilet paper and paper napkin is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

1. Powder loss rate:

Toilet paper requires a powder loss rate of ≤0.5%, while paper towels are not allowed to lose powder. As for what powder loss is, please see the picture below. If you use this kind of paper to wipe the mirror surface, the more you wipe it, the dirtier it becomes!

2. Bacterial content:

The total number of bacterial colonies in toilet paper must not exceed 600CFU/g; and that in toilet paper must not exceed 200CFU/g. (Rolling paper has three times the colony requirements of tissue paper!)

3. Recycle pulp:

Toilet paper can use recycled pulp, but paper towels must not use recycled pulp. (Recycled pulp: Various recycled paper products are remade into paper)

Therefore, if you keep wiping your mouth with toilet paper, you are likely to "eat" more bacteria in your mouth than others.

If you encounter napkins in a street store that have serious dusting, rough quality, unbranded or off-brand napkins, try not to use them! It is likely to be recycled slurry from an unknown source, and the bacterial content cannot be guaranteed.

As the old saying goes, diseases enter through the mouth. As for the paper towels that are in close contact with the mouth every day, friends must be careful when choosing them, especially if they are used for babies with weak immunity. Be sure to distinguish between napkins and toilet paper. If necessary, use baby tissues. Also, friends who often need to go out to restaurants and order takeout due to work reasons should try to bring their own handkerchiefs and avoid using the tissues provided by the merchants to wipe their mouths.

Toilet paper has a loose molecular structure and short fibers so that it can break and dissolve quickly after being thrown into the toilet. Therefore, used toilet paper can be thrown directly into the toilet and flushed, and it will not easily block the sewer. After paper towels enter the sewer, they are not only difficult to "digest", but they also absorb sewage and grease and turn into a sticky mass, which can easily cause blockage. Secondly, the production of raw materials for tissue paper is higher than that of toilet paper. Tissue paper can only use raw fiber raw materials, including wood, grass, bamboo, etc., while sanitary napkins can also use deinked printed matter and other waste materials. Paper. Correspondingly, paper towels have higher requirements for bacterial colonies than toilet paper. The national standard requires that the total number of bacterial colonies in toilet paper must not exceed 600 per gram of paper. In addition to the bacterial colonies in tissue paper, which must not exceed 200, it also stipulates that the total number of "fungal colonies" must not exceed 100 per gram. To sum up, the reasons why toilet paper is used instead of toilet paper are: first, the roll paper (toilet paper) itself is made for use in the toilet, and the cost is lower; second, toilet paper is not easy to clog the toilet. However, it is not recommended to throw toilet paper into the toilet in public toilets. The main reason is that there are many users and the sewer load is too large. In addition, some public toilets use old-fashioned toilets, which increases the chance of toilet paper clogging. If you are at home, you can just throw away the toilet paper. toilet.
