Sometimes the best form of technology is the simplest – and nowhere is that truer than with hand-drying solutions. While electric hand dryers have become more advanced in recent years, research from the American Society for Microbiology suggests that traditional paper towels are still holding their own in the drying stakes.

In fact, this handy washroom essential has shown to potentially more hygienic and effective than electric solutions, and to give a quicker dry. But while long tried and tested, it would be a mistake to think paper towels haven’t also advanced over time. In fact, in the shape of the Through-Air-Dried (TAD) technology you’ll find in Pristine’s TAD range – available in Slimline, Ultra Slim, Compact and Optimum – you will be able to offer customers and staff greater softness and extra absorbency.

This innovative solution employs a unique, dimpled texture to create absorbency pockets that draw liquid in. As a result, TAD towels provide up to twice the bulk and absorption capacity for the same basis weight, and require less storage space than towels of the same weight. Importantly, this leads to a reduction in waste as fewer towels are needed, providing a cost-saving benefit for businesses, and leading to a tidier washroom – important for any facility used primarily by customers.

The TAD hand towels are also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC-C117930) certified and promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests. Pristine offers two large, well-designed towel dispensers to accommodate the four different sizes of the TAD range, making it, all in all, a perfect solution for any high-traffic washroom.
