Lab Test: Quality of Paper Towel
Finding the best quality paper towel
Question:
Which paper towel has the highest quality overall?
Background: Past tests of the highest quality paper towel showed that Bounty was the best choice for a kitchen paper towel. Although it wasn’t the most absorbent, which was Brawny, it was rather strong in both durability and absorbency. (consumerreports.org)
Industrial and 7th generation are most commonly used in public places such as; School bathrooms, public restrooms and public sinks. 7th generation is made of 100% recycled paper. In another test, between Viva and 7th generation, 7th generation was chosen as the best choice. This test also took into account for the price of each role. (http://www.dailyfinance.com)
Viva paper towels are made of 100% virgin fiber(http://www.vivatowels.com), while Bounty is made of virgin wood pulp. (http://www.bountytowels.com) Brawny is made of domestic materials from Oregon, Louisiana and Florida.(http://www.brawnytowels.com)
In terms of popularity, Bounty, Brawny and Viva are the most known brands and are used commonly in kitchens.
Hypothesis: For this project, I needed 3 different hypothesis. 1 for the absorbency, 1 for durability and 1 for the over best quality paper towel. My first one, for absorbency, was: If the thickness of the paper towel affects the amount of water the towel takes in, then the Bounty, will absorb more. This sounds the most sensible because the thicker the paper towel, the more space there is to absorb the water.
For durability, I hypothesized: If the material of the paper towel affects the durability of the towel, then the weaker material will not be as strong. I said this because cheaper toilet paper, suggests poorer quality, meaning that the materials won’t be as strong or durable as another, more expensive one.
My last hypothesis put together the two to predict the overall highest quality paper towel. If the money put into making the paper towel affects the overall
