What is a hardwound or hard roll towel? "Hardwound "or "Hard” roll towels are paper towels that are tightly wound around a cardboard core. They are designed to fit into industrial hardwound roll towel dispensers. The hardwound roll paper towels are used for hand drying in commercial and industrial restrooms and kitchens. They are also handy for wiping up spills and cleaning.

Towel Performance: To determine performance in a paper towel there are three factors that should be taken into consideration; Absorbency, Thickness and Wet Strength.

Why do paper towels absorb water so easily? Paper towels soak up water because they are loosely woven which enables water to travel between them, even against gravity. Paper towels are made up of cellulose fibers (which also make up wood and most plants). The cellulose fibers are giant molecules that consist of many small molecules linked together. The small molecules that combine to make up cellulose are actually sugar molecules, which is the key to absorbency. Sugar dissolves easily in water. So when you wet a paper towel the water molecules rush in and cling to the cellulose fibers. Hence paper towels are ideal for soaking up spills.

Why is a towel quilted or embossed? Besides a nicer appearance the quilting or embossing help form pockets of air that attract water and increase absorbency.

What is wet strength? Wet strength is the strength of paper when it is wet. Wet strength can be measured by the amount of weight that a wet paper towel can support. Paper fibers are mixed with special resins to make the towel strong when they are wet. This resin prevents paper towels from easily tearing when wet.

Where are they used? The Boardwalk hardwound roll towel is used in commercial, construction and industrial settings. They are ideal for industrial manufacturing facilities, office buildings, restaurants, schools, casinos, parks and recreation facilities, and airports.

Dispensers: The Boardwalk hard roll towel is used with most universal industrial roll towel dispensers. See the towel dispenser category.
