Wet Strength Abaca Tissue

This heavy-weight, 100% abaca tissue features long fibres for both wet and dry strength.

Unbuffered and pH neutral, it can be used with all types of collections, including natural history specimens and animal based materials such as wool, leather and silk.

Abaca tissue is made from the long staple abaca fibre which, despite its delicate appearance, has great wet strength and is basically the same as tea bag paper.

Unlike ordinary tissue paper, it can be glued and dyed without disintegrating.

This tissue is comprised of a special blend of high strength large diameter premium grade Abaca fibres and other selected cellulose fibres. The fibres are selected for tensile, tear and porosity control at light basis weight and to facilitate natural hydrogen bonding with minimal use of resin - the wet strength resin is Kymene.

The structure is characterised as non-abrasive absorbent, and consistently uniform in calliper, basis weight and pore size distribution.
