Tissue Testing Primer, Tissue360º Fall/Winter 2018

In today’s worldwide paper industry, there is a lot of activity related to tissue.  A recent market research study shows that between 2018 and 2024, annual growth in the tissue and hygiene areas is expected to reach 3.8 percent in North America, and even higher in less developed countries1.   Due to increased trade and new product development, there has been an increased attention to standardization and harmonizing methods for testing tissue products. Luckily, TAPPI has a committee specifically devoted to this task. 

The Tissue Properties Testing Subcommittee, which is part of the Process & Product Quality Division, generates new work items as potential standards, reviews existing standards, periodically updates methods, and submits standards to ANSI to be considered National Standards.
