Solaris Paper’s Sorbent Professional TAD hand towel has gone through stringent testing to be awarded the official Australian Made logo. The Australian Made logo requires “a significant transformation in Australia”. Both the TAD paper making and the folding into interleaved towel is performed in Australia. Not only does this secure Australian jobs, but it also makes these products more readily available during the challenges of any shipping crisis and more flexible when demand spikes. TAD hand towel is desired in health care and aged care because of its effectiveness, so certainty of supply in these critical functions is a significant benefit.

TAD stands for Through Air Dried and is a technological improvement in hand towel making. With this type of paper, water is removed — and the paper is dried — by blowing air through the sheet (hence the name). This allows the fibres to create a mesh, with air pockets in between the fibres, and improves the properties of softness, thickness, stretch and most importantly, absorbency, with air pockets that quickly absorb the water. This means less paper and time is needed to effectively dry hands than a traditional hand towel. TAD paper is also softer and less abrasive on frequently washed hands. Less towel, and a reduction in dispenser refill rates, can save the workplace time and cost and helps the environment too.
