Toilet-paper researchers create 3-ply tissue (AP)
Yes, in that place is such a matter as a toilet-paper researcher. And a team of them at Georgia Pacific’s Innovation Institute in Neenah has come up by a three-ply version of its Quilted Northern product.
The new fruit will be launched Monday. The company touts the toilet combination as “ultra-soft” and says it plans to market the product to women 45 and older who view their bathroom as a “sanctuary for quality time.”
Industry analyst Bill Schmitz is skeptical. He said extreme layers make toilet paper stronger, not softer, although he said Georgia Pacific may have added extraordinary fibers for softness.
