Soft, absorbent, resilient, those attributes of perceptions associated with "textile materials" are properties that making sanitary tissue paper different from other types of papers. Creping is a vital process that embodies these characteristics to sanitary tissue paper. The success or failure of the process affects directly the surface features and softness of sanitary tissue paper which in tum affects the convertibility and quality of the product. Selecting the optimal creping condition therefore becomes a most important task in the manufacturing of sanitary tissue paper. The pressure of the touch roll, creping ratio and conditions of the creping blade are important factors affecting creping of sanitary tissue paper. By the use of a sled method developed by the authors, surface softness of the base sanitary tissue sheets and products can be assessed effectively.
