What kind of paper did everyone use in the last century? In today's terms it was straw paper, that is, paper made from straw stalks, reeds, weeds and other raw materials. This kind of paper is very hard, wipe once can rub the delicate skin at the buttocks. Later, life gradually improved, the city basically installed a toilet, in order to facilitate flushing, and not clogging the toilet, so most of the use of white paper, which is now common toilet paper.

And then why does everyone say that this kind of paper is bad? It is not that they are not good to use, they are very soft texture, but it is harmful to human health. Because people use paper is mostly direct contact with the skin, like the mouth, hands, intimate parts and so on. Many businesses or all manufacturers because people like this pure white paper, so in the paper to add a component called fluorescent agent, that is, bleach. In addition to this, many other chemical additives are added to increase the toughness and softness.

How harmful is fluorescent agent? It is widely distributed in the white substances in life, like paper, cosmetics, skin care products, laundry detergent, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, clothes, towels and so on, which are the things that are in direct contact with the skin. They are extremely soluble in glycerin and water, so once they enter the human body through the two mediums of glycerin and water, and combine with the proteins in the human body, they cannot be dissolved, which will greatly affect the immunity of the human body, and in the long run, it will also lead to cancer in the human body.

Since white paper is so dangerous, it is now popular to use yellow toilet paper, which is actually really good? Yellow toilet paper is actually not seen as good as that. Why? Because the manufacturers heard that people love to use yellow paper, the white virgin paper directly dyed yellow, because yellow paper generally become the original color paper, the price is much more expensive than ordinary yellow paper, so they make more money, but in fact, still damage the health of us ordinary people.

So what kind of paper should you actually choose? Paper is generally divided into 100% virgin wood pulp, 100% pure wood pulp, grass pulp, bamboo pulp and so on. To buy or recommended to buy 100% virgin wood pulp, and it is best to buy big brands, because their quality control process is more rigorous and complex, always less additives, less harm.

This yellow paper towel, generally playing the "natural", "no fluorescent agent" and other additives and so on the slogan. However, in fact, do not look at it yellow, behind the scenes do not know secretly added how many fluorescents it ......

One might retort, "How can a tissue that yellow still contain fluorescents?"

The first thing to note is thatAdding or not adding fluorescents really has nothing to do with the color of the tissue.A testing department has done a test, and found that in a yellow toilet paper, also contains fluorescent agent.

In fact, in the papermaking process, in order to make the paper tougher, softer and more comfortable to use, generally need to add a lot of chemicals for softening and bleaching. Therefore, yellow paper towels that look like logs in general may not be healthier than white paper towels.

Secondly, we should not see the word "fluorescents" and avoid it. As long as in accordance with national regulations, do not exceed the use, are safe.

It's enough to remember two tips for picking out good paper towels (it's that simple!)

One is to recognize the well-known big brands;

Secondly, look at the packaging information on the tissue paper, generally 100% virgin wood pulp > 100% pure wood pulp, as well as superior products > first-class products > qualified products.

In terms of this damn thing, I must say that it's so bad to use, really. First of all, the paper is not tough enough, almost every moment will happen to tear the situation, as long as a little bit not pay attention to the angle and strength of the force, will be torn. Secondly, this kind of paper can not be wet, wet after the water simply becomes a pile of mud, just dial a little will become soft paste. Then this paper is labeled natural without additives, used here and there good, I bought a bag back, a month down are almost finished, did not see me what changes ah? Just a gimmick. I won't buy it again after using it, it's garbage. Also, many people will say, you must have bought fake paper, or miscellaneous paper, I have to say, this is what you call the spot cloth, is bought in Guangzhou's big supermarkets, there is no case of buying fake goods.

You can't use this paper to tear like you used to with the regular white paper.

Otherwise, it'll look like this.

It has to be torn like this, and with attention, but even with attention it will often tear

Even if it's an attention span, it'll look like this when it's torn.

And still a lot of my friends decided that I bought a fake, and I'll say it again, there's no such thing as a fake, it's just so crap. If you insist that the one you use doesn't have that, then it's probably just my bad luck that I just happened to get the crapiest of the lot.

In recent years it has become popular to use yellow toilet paper, a while ago, a colleague in our office organized a group to buy hand towels, which is this yellow, no bleach, raw pulp paper. In the end true or false, do not know, but I did not buy! Yellow toilet paper is really good?

Yellow paper is made without any bleaching chemicals, which is less of a bleaching process than white paper, and is generally a bit more expensive than white. Since consumers recognize yellow paper, you have to trust enough that some merchants in China can dye the white paper to make it the yellow paper you want. So it is still recommended to buy the big brands because they have a more stringent quality control process, in addition to buying according to your own needs, it does not have to be yellow or white.

Have you all encountered the following confusions when purchasing?

1, the same brand of paper towels, expensive or cheap good?

Two facial tissues with the same packaging, one is on sale and the other is on sale at the original price, which one do you choose? I believe 90% of people will not hesitate to choose the discounted goods. Take two packages of tissue paper carefully compared, in the corner of the bag can find the answer: a package of tissue paper quality level is qualified products, another package is a first-class products. Qualified products of many indicators are not even half of the first-class products, the price is naturally cheaper.

2. Is 100% virgin wood pulp the same as 100% pure wood pulp?

Although the difference between virgin wood pulp and pure wood pulp sounds small, but the concept is completely different, virgin wood pulp paper with new raw materials, while pure wood pulp paper may be mixed with recycled or reclaimed second-hand raw materials. so, the next time you buy when you have to recognize the label Hello.

3, with scented paper towels harmful to the human body?

Pure wipe sweat, scented paper towels are not only very safe, but also increase your femininity. But if you use it to wipe your mouth, or the original paper towel is the best, because any "tricks" are added later, the poor quality of perfumed paper, its flavor is easy to adhere to the mouth, and then submerged into the body to destroy the immune system and the endocrine system, affecting the health of the body.

4, paper towel is not the whiter the color the better?

Normal paper towel color should be ivory white, if you buy back the paper towel is snow white, it is the result of adding fluorescent agent excess. The use of substandard paper towels, mild itching of the skin, serious cases will lead to skin diseases.

I used to work in a paper mill for eight years and am massively familiar with all the processes of paper making, especially toilet paper.

What people consider "hygienic" is actually not very hygienic, the most disgusting is the cotton paddle paper - where is the new cotton paddle to make paper? Many are collected from the old cotton wool, broken mattresses and so on, as for their origin you can try to think of it, raw materials into the factory, inside with blood with yellow water are (of course, this is more than 20 years ago, do not know what it is now).

If it is wood paddle paper, wheat straw paper may be better. No matter what the raw material is, it's all added with concentrated alkali after steaming, washing paddles (bleaching), surfing the net, drying at high temperature, rolling the paper, packaging, and listing it on the market. It is true that there used to be natural-color toilet paper without whitening agent (20 or 30 years ago, it was really natural color then), but nowadays in China, you still believe in which businessman's claim you are too naive.

A word on the subject: before the silver ear are white to sell well, the market of silver ear more and more white, white outrageous, the media revealed that this is artificially smoked harmful to the human body, people began to buy not too white, yellowing ......

The other day I bought dried vegetables in a vegetable wholesale market, a supplier is talking to the boss into the matter of the silver ear, the boss said can not be white, not good, the supplier is very confident that: now who does not know the white is not good, ah. I this are yellow, you want more yellow can be made more yellow ......

Yellow is said not to use fluorescent agents and coloring agents is pure natural, the general price will be more expensive than the white, but I have also bought cheap yellow, the paper quality is very poor, not good to use, it is recommended to buy according to their own needs, do not have to be yellow or white, as long as it is in the national permitted within the safety of the can be used.

Yellow paper is generally not add any bleaching agent on the market generally white color paper are after a variety of chemicals add more with the pulp is relatively small and yellow paper is generally not add those chemicals all made of pulp relative to the white kind of paper is to increase the cost because the raw materials for paper production is far more expensive than those chemicals

In fact, the original color paper is just missing the bleaching process.

Mr. Liu, the person in charge of the Operations Department of Fujian General Agent of Quanlin Benjamin, said that the so-called food grade, in fact, can be in contact with food, because the product itself does not have any additives, so there is no grade, and its rolled paper products can be used to wipe the mouth as well. Commercially available household paper, many added fluorescent agents, whitening agents, pliable agents, flavors, etc., used to wipe the mouth, then, on the respiratory tract, the liver will have a bad effect.

I now work in the toilet paper factory, toilet paper basically have done, the so-called yellow paper suggests that we do not use, too white and do not use, the color is yellowish (yellowish is relatively light does not contrast the general public can not see) in these is considered to be the most secure, but there are also added.

Know what this is done? All paper cups bubble cup paper trimmings to do, adding a variety of chemical to achieve degumming deinking bleaching, these papers are generally sold to the stalls small venues in rural areas, low consumption and low-cost users, the name of the brand are basically small factories to do, small factories and large factories I've done, small factories do not have a safe, we wipe our asses to wipe our mouths do not dare to touch. Living paper we still buy big brand, quality control is very strict, add relatively less too much.

The above is from a web site share.

First of all, we definitely tell you not to use this popular yellow toilet paper. Of course, in recent times, many customers have understood the truth and have not come to our store to ask about this yellow toilet paper. In fact, this kind of paper, it is dyed yellow. Nowadays, all the big manufacturers and brands don't have this kind of paper. Do you have it? Does Vinda have it? Is it available in Qingfeng? Does Jezebel have it? And so on ....... So where does this kind of paper come from? It is not some want to crooked way to get rich small factory under the guise of environmental protection, maliciously screwed up. Can it be popular? This kind of paper has been in our area for more than a year, and now there is no longer a dealer to do this product. There used to be one that got a little bit in, and I can only say that a loss is a loss. Doing business is really cruel sometimes. If there are peers who make this yellow paper, please don't blame me for telling the truth. This kind of paper really harms people. Don't mess with it, if you lose money, you lose money. If you do business honestly in the future, you will be able to earn it back.

Society today is increasingly advocating safety, and as people's awareness of safety gradually increases, the bleach and fluorescents contained in traditional toilet paper are being questioned by more and more people.

Let me first start with the yellow natural color paper that is appearing on the market.

They can be divided into four categories in terms of raw materials:Straw natural paper, wood pulp natural paper, cotton natural paper, bamboo fiber natural paper。

These four types of natural paper are especially superior to the bamboo fiber natural paper.

The first three types have many drawbacks with respect to the characteristics of the raw material.

Straw native paper exists pesticide residues mold growth, short fibers, paper is not soft, the price is not cheap.

Wood pulp color paper has no natural anti-bacterial factor, the growth cycle of trees is slow, and cutting down trees destroys the ecological balance.

Cotton color paper has no natural antibacterial factor, because of artificial cultivation there will be chemical pesticide residues, cotton is also prone to breeding mites.

Bamboo fiber paper does not have the above disadvantages, bamboo contains natural bactericidal antibacterial component "bamboo Kun", bamboo also has anti-insects and anti-odor, moisture absorption, good water absorption, flexibility and other characteristics.

Therefore, you should always look at the raw materials stated on the package before choosing the natural color paper.

Because the first three types of vernacular paper all have many disadvantages and are not advocated, let's compare the difference between traditional paper and bamboo fiber vernacular paper.

1. Raw materials

Ordinary white toilet paper is produced using wood as the raw material, so it has the same drawbacks of having no natural anti-bacterial factor, slow growth cycle of trees, and destroying the ecological balance by cutting down trees.

2. Additives

Bamboo fiber paper is generally a special method to extract bamboo fibers, the production process does not add any fluorescent agent and bleach.

But ordinary white toilet paper will be in order to meet the whiteness, toughness, and other requirements, adding a large number of bleach, pliable agent, fluorescent agent, etc., the regular use of the human body has a lot of harm and not a benefit.

3. Bleach

Because bleach contains dioxin, a class 1 carcinogen, it is specifically put into context.

While traditional white household paper uses a large amount of bleach in the production process to meet the whiteness requirement, this step is avoided in the case of natural color paper, which eliminates the production of dioxins from the root cause, so there is no chemical residue in the paper of natural color paper.

4、Bacteriostatic health

Bamboo naturally contains "Zhukun" has antibacterial, antimicrobial, deodorant, anti-odorant and anti-ultraviolet function. Ordinary white toilet paper does not, and sometimes small restaurants and hotels will provide low-cost white toilet paper, which will have many bacteria and microorganisms on it, and people who have used it will be prone to diseases such as urethritis.

That's why it's recommended to bring your own toilet paper when you go out, so that it's healthy and comfortable.

5. Comfort

Bamboo has good air permeability, water absorption, and its fibers are long, so it has the characteristic of not dropping confetti, and no confetti will be left on the skin after use. The ordinary white toilet paper fiber length is short, breathability is poor, a tug on the broken, easy to leave confetti on the face.

6、Environmental protection

Because bamboo is a highly renewable resource with a short growth cycle, as long as it is reasonably harvested, not only will it not damage the ecological environment, but also better promote the regeneration of bamboo resources, whereas perennial logging of timber will lead to soil erosion and desertification, which will bring about a harsh and irreversible impact on the environment.

Therefore, "replacing wood with bamboo" can not only protect the environment, so that the green hills will always be there and the cycle will never stop, but also protect the forest from deforestation.

Having said that, do you know what kind of toilet paper you should choose in the future to keep yourself and your family healthier?

I have been exposed to virgin wood pulp paper since the Shanghai World Expo, and have not used bleached ones for so many years. This kind of paper is much safer without the addition of bleaching powder and fluorescents. I can't figure out why manufacturers make the paper white. This original pulp paper toughness, absorbent, very good, of course, you have to buy the regular factory products, the price is higher is also worth it. Suggest that in the future, manufacturers do not add messy things, consumers should also gradually realize that not white means clean, just like flour, now all in pursuit of white, added whitening agents, in fact, the original color is the best!

Paper mills come from the present, the current market popular yellow toilet paper, in fact, should be dyed, but should not contain fluorescent agent, because there is no need, fluorescent agent is not cheap.

The raw material for pulping is wood, and the most useful part of wood is wood fiber, but the wood fiber is attached together by lignin, and the light yellow color of wood is lignin. In the process of making pulp, removing lignin (bleaching) is an important process, and there are three ways from the principle: acidic, alkaline, and neutral. Alkaline bleaching and acid bleaching method, as the name suggests, is to use acidic or alkaline chemicals to cook the wood, the lignin dissolved, leaving only clean wood fibers, the current alkaline bleaching has been almost extinct, acid bleaching method is still a lot of, because it removes the clean, on the mechanical strength of the fibers themselves is very small damage, in the paper industry, acid bleaching of the pulp is called chemical pulp. Neutral bleaching method is to rely on the strong oxidizing properties of hydrogen peroxide, cooking wood at high temperatures to achieve the purpose of partial removal of lignin, the reason why it is said to be partially removed, because it does not completely remove lignin, residual is not considered to be less, there is also a process of grinding to separate the wood fibers after cooking, the pulp is generally referred to as chemical-mechanical pulp, the color of the color of a slightly yellowish. Generally speaking, pine, cypress, cedar and other softwoods because of long fibers, good quality (long fiber pulp), so more chemical pulp. Common poplar, because of its own wood fiber is short, the quality of general, with chemical method is a bit of a waste, so the domestic usually use chemical mechanical method.

We usually use printing paper, not made from a single chemical pulp, because the long-fiber chemical pulp is basically imported (domestic chemical pulp, but very few, because the domestic pine wood is relatively small), the common use of the formula, the long-fiber chemical pulp and short-fiber chemical pulp mixed with a portion of the filler and adhesive, as a way to achieve the purpose of reducing the cost as well as balancing the use of performance. Domestic printing paper is generally ISO whiteness (Brightness, in fact, is considered to be brightness) in more than 95%, the true ISO whiteness of the electrostatic copy paper more than 99%, I originally worked in the factory, the ISO whiteness of electrostatic copy paper is generally maintained at about 101%. This figure is achieved by adding indigo, violet and other formula pigments to balance out the original yellow tone of the pulp to achieve, while adding a certain amount of fluorescents, so that the reflection appears brighter to achieve, it is actually a blue-white.

Toilet paper itself is not a high quality requirements, generally speaking, is the number of colonies, non-irritation, softness of these articles, for the performance of the paper itself is not high, so does not require a particularly high-grade pulp, the domestic generally used is the main chemical mechanical pulp. This is more poplar wood pulp, poplar wood pulp itself lignin residue is high, wet pulp in the hand can be clearly seen gray and yellow tones, but never on the market that yellow concentration. The previous grass pulp (made of wheat straw cooking) also did not achieve a very yellow color.

Therefore, the yellow toilet paper on sale are basically toned out of the process is not complex, my original factory has produced a very beautiful beige writing paper, the cost is not high, but this is a selling point, understand the paper people understand, we do not declare just.

Toilet paper this thing, as long as the soft, absorbent, not loose, no irritating residue and excessive colonies on the line, there is no need to pursue this tone tone out of the so-called "original color" paper, the pulp itself is not yellow to that extent.

If you have the opportunity to buy a novel from a bookstore in Europe or the United States, you should buy the kind of paper that looks gray, thick but light in your hand, and looks a bit like newspaper, which is closer to the "natural" color of the pulp, with no fillers or fluorescents added.
