The quality of toilet paper can be identified from multiple angles. Here are some of the main criteria:
1. Thickness and density:
• Quality should not be judged solely by thickness, because at the same weight, thicker paper may be of lower grade because there are fewer sheets. High-quality toilet paper is usually denser but also softer.
• Tear test:
• Poor-quality toilet paper may drop cotton-like objects when torn and break easily, while high-quality toilet paper has better toughness, neat breaks, and less hair.
• Light inspection:
• Use a light source to penetrate the toilet paper to observe whether its structural layers are uniform. High-quality toilet paper should have a uniform structure without obvious impurities or spots.
• Odor detection:
• High-quality toilet paper should have no irritating odor, should not have a moldy or smelly odor, and usually has a slight fresh woody aroma.
• Burning test:
• Pure wood pulp toilet paper is white ash after burning, with no oil stains left, and is easy to break into powder; while the ashes after burning low-quality paper may be black and have a hard texture.
• Packaging and labeling:
• Check the outer packaging of toilet paper to ensure that it has complete manufacturer information, production date, shelf life and quality grade labeling. Formal products will indicate the source of raw materials, such as virgin wood pulp is better than other types.
• Wet strength test:
• Soak the toilet paper in water and observe its wet strength. High-quality toilet paper can still maintain a certain strength when wet and is not easy to break immediately.
• National standards:
• Refer to relevant national standards, such as the industry standard for wrinkled toilet paper of the Ministry of Light Industry of China (GB2500-2000), to understand the technical indicators of different grades.
When purchasing, you should also pay attention to choosing products with intact packaging and a recent production date to avoid buying toilet paper that has been damp or improperly stored. At the same time, try to choose a reputable brand to ensure product quality
