We use toilet paper every day, but many people do not know the difference between toilet paper and facial tissue, and it is very common to mix the two.
According to Consumer Reports, a survey of 170 consumers on household paper showed that more than 65 percent of them often mixed facial tissue with toilet paper, and many more thought there was no difference between the two. Is there really no difference? Of course not. There’s a big difference.
1. Different hygiene standards.
Facial tissue directly contact the face, the health requirements are very strict, the state stipulates that the amount of bacteria per gram of facial tissue should not be higher than 200 units; The requirement of toilet paper is relatively loose, and the amount of bacteria in each gram of toilet paper is not higher than 600 units. It can be seen that the amount of bacteria in toilet paper is three times that of facial tissue. If you wipe your mouth with toilet paper, you will undoubtedly eat bacteria directly. Once people’s resistance becomes poor, it may cause bacterial infection and various inflammation.
2. Different raw materials for production.
Buy paper towels, see the original wood pulp and pure wood pulp is not a concept. Primary wood pulp refers to the wood pulp of paper making is new raw material, and pure wood pulp allows the existence of recycled materials. According to national health standards, facial tissue must be made from virgin wood pulp, while toilet paper can be made from recycled materials.
3. Flexibility varies.
For the purpose of demand, facial tissue requires paper towels to have a higher longitudinal wet tensile strength, the use of water is still relatively strong, not easy to drop paper scraps, convenient to wipe the mouth, the table. The toilet paper requires a low longitudinal wet tensile strength, after the use of water quickly dispersed, to avoid blocking the sewer. If you use facial tissue to go to the toilet and throw it into the sewer, it will not only be difficult to be “digested”, but also adsorb sewage and grease and become a sticky mess, which is easy to cause blockage.
In short, although toilet paper and facial tissue are both paper products, there are obvious differences in raw materials, uses, production processes and health standards, so it is necessary to pay attention to distinguish their different characteristics in actual use to ensure health and safety.
