Silk tissue paper is a soft, flexible, and lightweight paper, often slightly transparent due to its low weight. It is primarily used for wrapping delicate items and as a protective interleaving or filling material.
Key Characteristics
- Soft and Flexible: Its texture allows it to conform easily to the shape of objects.
- Lightweight: Minimizes added weight during packaging or storage.
- Slightly Transparent: This is a visual indicator of its thinness.
Composition and Durability
Ageing-resistant silk tissue paper is manufactured using:
- Pure fresh cellulose fibres.
- With or without a carbonate buffer.
These components contribute to its longevity and make it suitable for preserving valuable items.
Common Uses
- Wrapping sensitive objects to protect them from scratches and damage.
- Serving as a filling material to cushion items within a package.
- Interleaving between delicate layers to prevent sticking or abrasion.
