Experimental data for physical characteristics, fiber compositions, and tensile properties of nonwoven wipes and toilet papers

This article presents experimental data for physical characteristics, fiber compositions, and tensile properties of non-flushable wipes, flushable wipes, and toilet papers. Samples included 42 flushable wipes, 16 non-flushable wipes, and 11 toilet papers that were collected from around the world by considering product diversity in their retail regions (e.g., north america, and europe), manufacturers (e.g., global, and regional), and function (e.g., baby, toddler, patient, adult, and feminine wipes). The data were generated in accordance with relevant standard methods of International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The data are provided here in full (not hosted by any public repository) in association with the research article: "Physical characteristics, fiber compositions, and tensile properties of nonwoven wipes and toilet papers in relevance to what is flushable" [1]. Readers are referred to the research article for discussions and interpretations of the data presented in this document. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
