The tissue paper market has evolved with time, producing a wide variety of tissue paper materials with distinct shapes, sizes and thicknesses. With the growing demand in the industry, the manufacturer is evolving their product by making changes in the structural and chemical properties and improving the resistance to environmental changes. The makers now need to be sure that their product has the maximum capacity to sustain every kind of temperature change or humidity change. And when we talk about tissue, humidity is the factor that affects them the most. In this blog, we will learn about the effect of humid weather on tissue papers and how a humidity chamber or a conditioning chamber/tester can help a manufacturer in evaluating the time at which the product will fail to resist the moisture content further.

How humidity can pull down the quality of Tissue paper?

Paper is the most sensitive material among any kind of wiping stuff. For instance, materials like cloth are commonly used to wipe but they are not portable and are not feasible to use in many industries like restaurants, or hotels. Also, they are not feasible enough to be carried everywhere in bags. This is why tissue paper is in higher demand and manufacturers face competition in the market. Nowadays tissue paper is not only one type of thing, they come in distinct shapes and thicknesses and sizes too. So the quality also differs along with the same prices. Hence it is important to know in advance which tissue product will react in which way. Usually tissue paper is resistant to heat and temperature changes. These environmental factors cant destruct their quality. However, this is not the case with moisture or humidity. Humidity or the moisture content in the air can be absorbed by a tissue that is exposed to open air and with time the water molecules in the air and now absorbed by the tissue result in weakening the network of tissue papers eventually breaking it down. Hence, it is of vital importance that the paper is tested in an artificially made humid environment to check how it will react to the same.

Humidity testing of tissues with a Conditioning Chamber

A humidity chamber is quality testing equipment that helps a user to evaluate the behaviour of a product under changing temperatures along with humidity content. The machine can conduct such a type of behavioural testing by creating an amplified and artificial humidity environment. The chamber is big enough to test a wide variety of products coming in different sizes and shapes. One can even test a complete bundle of tissue paper in one go and hours of testing can deliver results of a year of exposure of tissue papers to humidity.

The machine is highly advanced and is equipped with a microcontroller-based parameter controller that assures complete control of what weather conditions we want to create for testing. User-frendily and feather touch buttons with a digital display make the machine promise a high-end experience. Once the parameters are set one can place the sample inside the chamber and leave it independent to conduct the test. The test report generated can be shown by observing the condition of the sample. This machine is also the foremost choice in many industries as it conforms to the international testing standards and assures the highest precision in the test process. It is also a very efficient plastic and polymer testing instrument hence is multipurpose in terms of quality inspection. When tissue papers are tested for their behaviour towards the humidity in the air, the manufacturers can assure a smooth production and profit.
