6696 Scott® Airflex™ Slimroll Blue Hand Towel — 6 x 190m
6696 Scott® Airflex™ Slimroll Blue Hand Towel — 6 x 190m
Kimberly-Clark Professional · Scott® · Food Contact Certified · Authorised Distributor
The Scott® Airflex™ Slimroll™ Blue Hand Towel (6696) is the food-grade, colour-coded version of the market-leading 6695 white roll — identical in specification, but manufactured in blue for visual identification and compliance in food processing, catering, manufacturing and HACCP-controlled environments. With 190m and 760 sheets per roll, Airflex™ Technology for rapid absorbency, and certifications for both food contact and European Ecolabel, the 6696 is the trusted choice for facilities where colour-coded hygiene management is required by law, audit or internal protocol. Compatible with the Aquarius™ Slimroll™ dispenser in white (7955) or black (7956) — South Africa's most hygienic rolled hand towel dispenser.
Why Blue? Colour-Coded Hygiene Compliance
In food processing, catering and manufacturing environments, colour-coded hygiene systems are used to prevent cross-contamination between zones. Blue paper products are the internationally recognised standard for food-contact areas — visually distinguishable from white washroom products and detectable should a fragment enter a food product or production line. The 6696 is food contact certified, making it compliant for use in food preparation, processing, packaging and HACCP-controlled environments. If your facility uses colour-coded hygiene protocols, the 6696 is the correct specification.
