- About TAD process:
TAD process is a high efficiency, low
energy consumption and high production volume.
- In North America and Western Europe consumers value premium or ultra-premium products
For top ultra-premium products: the softness and bulk of its ultra-bath tissue and the absorbency of the premium towel TAD technology spans the entire product range from the finest Ultra-Premium bath to
industrial wipes with furnishes from all virgin to all recycled.
- TAD process delivers a product that is softer and more absorbent than is possible with conventional technology.
TAD removes water by vacuum and then by hot air through the sheet, producing a high bulk fully structured sheet. A distinctive pattern is then imparted to the sheet by the TAD Fabric as it passes over a molding box and is then
transferred and registered to the Yankee dryer to produce a soft, flexible and bulky product.
