A pad for every paper
Choosing the correct pad for your application is crucial to perfect paper handling.

Density based tissue pad selection
Tissue paper can be divided into three categories, each of which should use a different style pad.
Choosing the correct tissue pad type can be simplified by using a technique based on the density of the paper roll. The density calculation is based on how the tissue interacts with the pad as shown in the illustrations below. Note the tissue flowing around the pad in the case of the convex pad and soft tissue. Conversely, the dense tissue holds its shape and is best handled with a pad of similar radius to the roll. |
Tissue Type | Typical Paper Types | Recommended Pad |
High Density | Service toweling - hard surface | Single Radius |
Medium Density | Toweling, facial, toilet | Double Diameter |
Low Density | Ultra Soft Tissue - soft toilet, facial (TAD paper) | Convex |
|
 | Tissue, SIngle Radius
For handling dense tissue such as industrial toweling. |  |
 | | |
 | Tissue, Double Diameter
For handling medium density tissue such as common facial and toweling grades. |  |
 | Tissue, Convex
For handling low-density, soft tissue such as facial, toilet tissue and soft toweling. |  |
