SmartSolve IT117138 8.5" x 11" Dissolving Paper (Pack of 25)

Q: would this work if i put liquid soap on it and hang it to dry, or would it deslove right away

It typically takes this material 30 seconds to dissolve when submerged in water. Assuming that the liquid soap is applied to the paper sparingly, the paper should remain intact while being hung up to dry. Here is a quick link to SmartSolve’s video that demonstrates the complete paper soap making process with this material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzmxMmEBx0.

Q: Can it be used for printing and making photo-based melt and pour soap ? Has anyone tried this one for soaps ?

While we have not personally used this paper to make our own soap, the dissolving capabilities of this product should make it ideal for crafting photo-based bar soaps. The paper should hold the ink pigments in tact while the melted soap is added to the pre-moistened image. I would however, be careful to avoid touching the image once it has been in contact with the liquids in order to prevent any possible distortion from occurring.

Q: Is is made of PVA or other materials?

One of the many unique qualities of SmartSolve materials is that they do not contain PVA. In fact, SmartSolve’s environmentally sustainable paper products offer various benefits when compared to traditional PVA products. Such benefits include direct printability, humidity resistance, and greater material strength than PVA alone.
