At the end of the year, shopping festivals large and small are coming again, because paper towels are consumables, many families buy paper towels every month is a big expense, so parents will take advantage of the discount to stock up on a wave of goods.
However, parents should not patronize to see the cheap price, recently, CCTV exposed the processing process of an inferior tissue processing plant, which is really surprising...
-01-
From the CCTV report, it can be seen that there are shoddy paper products on the market, and their raw materials and processing processes do not meet the relevant requirements.
In the case of a large number of fluorescent agents and talcum powder, these paper products processed from inferior raw materials have been transformed into "high-quality paper towels" sold in large quantities on the shelves.
Even in order to reduce costs, some merchants use moldy newspapers, waste paper and medicine boxes as raw materials for paper towels.
If these inferior tissues are used for a long time, the physical harm is also great.

Delicate children are more vulnerable to inferior tissues than adults. So, what are the disadvantages of children using inferior tissues?
(1) It is easy to cause skin discomfort
Inferior paper towels contain harmful substances that are very harmful to children's young skin. For example, fluorescent agents, whitening agents, long-term use of them to wipe the mouth, wipe hands, wipe the face, it is easy to cause children skin allergies, if accidentally into the mouth, will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, into the body will also cause infection.
(2) Destroy the immunity in the body
Among the inferior paper towels, the most serious are toxic paper towels that contain industrial talc. Talc is a sandless white powder, which contains heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, which will damage the human nervous system and blood system, and seriously damage the child's immunity.
So, as parents, how should we choose tissues?

First of all, it is necessary to identify several "misunderstandings" of choosing paper towels.
Various pulps
The main sources of paper towels are these four materials:
Primary wood pulp: a kind of primary pulp, using wood as raw material, generally made of wood chips boiled and extracted fibers.
Virgin pulp: According to the source, it is divided into grass pulp, wood pulp, cotton pulp, reed pulp, etc., which is a pure virgin fiber pulp.
Pure wood pulp: Although wood is the main raw material, it is likely to include waste pulp, recycled pulp and other recycled raw materials.
Mixed pulp: partially recycled pulp + partial virgin pulp.
Color selection
First of all, it is not the whiter the better, parents are better to choose some natural bamboo pulp paper towels. This type of paper towel is generally a primary color, and does not pursue a white effect, which can avoid fluorescent agent components.
After talking about the "misunderstanding", let's take a look at how parents should choose a paper towel that is assured?
(1) Look at the packaging
Packaging will generally indicate all kinds of information about the product, we can identify the raw materials of paper through packaging.
According to the advantages and disadvantages: the best primary wood pulp, down is the primary pulp, pure wood pulp, the most is the mixed pulp; according to the grade (involving softness, toughness, water absorption): the best product, down is the first class product, the most qualified product.
When purchasing, we must pay attention to the manufacturer information on the packaging bag, whether there is a standard and shelf life, if it is "three no products", we must not buy.
(2) Smell the smell
If there is a stimulating chemical odor, be sure not to buy it. Good quality paper towels have little to no taste and will have some woody scent, but definitely not a pungent smell.
(3) Feel the feel
First of all, in terms of softness, the high quality will be delicate and soft to the touch, and the inferior one will be hard and loose.
Second, from the toughness point of view, you can try to tear the paper towel, the elasticity and tensile strength of the high-quality paper towel is better, will not be torn off, or drop the paper scraps, dust.
Inferior paper towels are easier to tear apart when torn, with fewer creases, easier to break, rough cuts, and will drop powder.
(4) Distinguish soaking
Soaking paper towels in water, easy to deform is inferior paper towels.
Although paper towels are disposable consumables, parents must not be greedy and cheap, and must ensure the quality of the paper products they usually buy, so that they can rest assured that their children can grow healthier!
