History
Disposable paper towels were invented in the 1900, and marketed for the first time in 1931 by Arthur Scott, head of the Scott Paper Company. When he received a train loaded with tissue from ruined toilet paper-useless to him as it had been removed too thick-he would reuse the goods by punching into chunks and marketing larger than normal and sell them as disposable towels. They were created and marketed for kitchens in rectangles of 13 by 18 inches and gradually grew in popularity as an alternative to disposable cloth towels.
Composition
Paper towels, like many paper products, are made of wood pulp fibers. Paper towels are derived from soft woods, such as pine and fir, which is resistant but not too hard. Resin is also added to the wood to increase the strength of the fibers. This combination of wood construction, and the addition of resin, contributes greatly to the final resistance of finished paper product.
Construction
Soft woods are used to create paper towels are chipped, then cook until it is soft and clean from its natural gumminess. The resin is added, and the mixture of resin and wood is pressed through the paper machine; The water is squeezed and the wood fibers come together. This crimping stage is crucial for the strength of finished paper towels as it allows the fibers to re-bond. For double-layer paper towels, a thin adhesive has two layers of paper together. Many brands also record their paper towels with patterns that create air bags that attract water. These bags also contribute to the strength of towels ' as they help paper towels attract moisture effectively without ripping.
Importance
Strength is important utility paper towels. Many of the tasks that use paper towels are wet and dirty. Few things are so frustrating for cleaners that paper towels that are undone when they get wet, instead of keeping moisture and foot to clean and scrub. While some buyers sacrifice strength for price, stronger paper towels can be a better value for money; Some paper towels are so strong that they are almost comparable to cloth towels, and can be used in a similar way for an extended amount of time, reducing the number of towels needed.
