Characterization data of pulp fibres performance in tissue papers applications.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article are related to the original research paper entitled "Comparative characterization of eucalyptus fibres and softwood fibres for tissue papers applications" available in Materials Letter: X Journal [1]. In this article, six eucalyptus hardwood pulps and six softwood pulps were characterized in terms of morphological, chemical and water-related (by drainability and water retention index) properties. In addition, using these pulps, unpressed laboratory isotropic handsheets were produced with a basis weight of approximately 20 g/m2, similarly to tissue papers. The key properties of tissue papers, namely structural properties, tensile index, absorption, and handfeel softness were analysed in these handsheets.
