Technology Overview: Understanding HyTAD
The HyTAD (Hybrid Through-Air Drying) system combines optimized air-drying mechanics with controlled structural formation to produce high-performance tissue. Unlike traditional pressing-based drying methods, HyTAD minimizes fiber compression and preserves bulk, resulting in a softer and more porous sheet. This advanced method—widely recognized in international premium tissue production—has matured into a proven and reliable industrial technology. The introduction of HyTAD places Yashi Paper among the select manufacturers capable of operating this high-level equipment platform.
Sichuan Petrochemical Yashi Paper announces the official introduction of HyTAD technology, a breakthrough that elevates softness, absorbency, and strength across its premium tissue portfolio. The adoption of HyTAD brings significant advantages to the industry and to consumers, offering higher-performance household tissue with improved environmental efficiency. As a next-generation manufacturing platform, HyTAD is poised to reshape product standards and strengthen Yashi Paper’s role in the global market.
Three Key Advantages Brought by HyTAD
1. Product Performance Advantages
With HyTAD, Yashi Paper achieves substantially higher absorbency, enhanced softness, and increased bulk. The technology maintains strong wet strength and is ideal for producing premium facial tissue, hand towels, and high-performance kitchen towels. HyTAD enables a level of comfort and functionality that aligns with global consumer expectations for premium living standards.
Ultra bulk
Paper made with HyTAD technology achieves around 300% of the loose thickness of traditional dry creping machines (such as crescent paper machines). This results in a thicker, softer, and more premium feel — ideal for high-end packaging applications.
Excellent water absorption
HyTAD’s ultra-low line pressure dehydration and hot air penetration drying, fibers retain a more open structure. As a result, water absorption reaches 10–13 times its own weight — significantly higher than the 4–6 times of ordinary tissues. This makes it especially ideal for high-absorbency products such as kitchen towels and wet wipes.
Softness and sensitive skin-friendliness
The 3D three-dimensional fiber structure creates a fluffier, softer texture that is gentle on the skin — ideal for premium facial tissues, mother and baby products, and other applications requiring high softness.
Customized texture
By adjusting the TAD fabric structure, various surface patterns (such as velvet cubes and raised textures) can be created, enhancing product differentiation and market competitiveness.
2. Energy Efficiency and Environmental Advantages
The HyTAD process reduces drying energy consumption and significantly lowers steam usage, contributing to lower carbon emissions and improved production efficiency. As sustainability becomes a core global priority, HyTAD supports alignment with national carbon-reduction goals and strengthens Yashi Paper’s commitment to responsible, eco-friendly manufacturing.
3. Market Competitiveness Advantages
The introduction of HyTAD empowers Yashi Paper to build a more differentiated high-end product line, strengthen its presence in mid- to high-end consumer markets, and enhance OEM/ODM competitiveness. With HyTAD, the company is better positioned to expand international partnerships and deliver consistent premium-grade quality.
Future Development
Yashi Paper will continue expanding its HyTAD production capacity, integrating more intelligent equipment, and accelerating its presence in domestic and international premium tissue markets. Future plans also include strengthening sustainable manufacturing practices and investing in innovations that complement the HyTAD platform.
Through the introduction of HyTAD, Sichuan Petrochemical Yashi Paper reinforces its dedication to quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility. This technological advancement brings meaningful benefits to the industry and delivers higher-value products to consumers, securing the company’s leadership in next-generation premium tissue manufacturing.
