TAD (Through Air Drying) Technology: The Benchmark for Premium Hand Drying Paper
TAD (Through Air Drying) technology is the core manufacturing process behind today’s high-end hand drying paper. By using forced hot air to evenly pe*****te and dry the paper sheet, TAD technology preserves the natural fiber structure, delivering exceptional bulk, absorbency, and softness.
Compared with conventional dry crepe or wet press processes, TAD hand drying paper offers significantly superior performance. It can absorb approximately 8–9 times its own weight in water, which is 2–3 times higher than ordinary hand towels, while remaining fluffy, strong, and durable during use.
Key Technical Advantages
• Core Process: Hot air drying maintains original fiber shape, greatly improving bulk, softness, and liquid absorption.
• Absorbency Performance:
– Ordinary hand towels: 5.5–6 g/g
– TAD hand towels: 50–60 g/g
• Material Quality: Made from 100% virgin wood pulp, ensuring excellent tensile strength in both MD and CD directions, with high wet strength to minimize tearing.
• Hygiene & Applications: Ideal for hotels, restaurants, offices, hospitals, and other high-traffic public areas, effectively replacing cloth towels and reducing the risk of bacterial cross-contamination.
• Technological Innovation: Advanced DMP-TAD (Dot Matrix Pressing Through Air Drying) machines optimize energy efficiency while offering greater flexibility in basis weight and product design.
Cost Efficiency in Real Use
Although TAD products have a higher unit cost, their superior absorbency means one sheet is usually enough, making the actual cost per use highly competitive—while delivering a premium user experience and improved hygiene standards.
