- A drinking straw is a short tube intended
for transferring a beverage from its container to a person’s mouth
by use of suction. The earliest drinking straws were hollow stems of
grass, literally made of straw.
- In 1888, Marvin Stone patented the spiral
winding process to manufacture the first paper drinking straws.
Stone was already a manufacturer of paper cigarette holders. His
idea was to make paper drinking straws. Before his straws, beverage
drinkers were using the natural rye grass straws.
- Stone made his prototype straw by winding
strips of paper around a pencil and gluing it together. He then
experimented with paraffin-coated manila paper, so the straws would
not become soggy while someone was drinking.
- Marvin Stone decided the ideal straw was 8
1/2-inches long with a diameter just wide enough to prevent things
like lemon seeds from being lodged in the tube.
- One particular advantage of using straws
when drinking is the reduction of tooth decay. Many soft drinks have
acidic properties, and using a straw reduces the liquid contact with
the teeth, reducing tooth decay and the risk of cavities.
- Straws are made from a formulated blend of
plastic resin, colorants, and other additives.
- Straw manufacturing requires several
steps. First, the plastic resin and other components are mixed
together; the mixture is then extruded in a tube shape; the straw
may under go subsequent specialized operations and finally the
straws are packaged for shipment.
- There are a number of interesting new
developments in straw technology. First, new and improved plastic
blends are constantly being evaluated.
- This is necessary to keep costs down, meet
regulatory requirements, and improve quality. In addition, new
processing and design methods are being developed.
- These can expand the straws into new
areas. For example, thermoliquid crystals, a special colorant that
responds to changes in temperature, can be added to straws to make
them change color when they come in contact with hot or cold liquid.
- Other unique applications include ways of
printing straws with the identity of the beverage (e.g., diet, root
beer, etc.). The straw can then be used to mark what the drink
contains.
- Other advances include straws made by a
blow molding process, which creates faces or other artifacts in the
middle of the straw.
- The Tetra Pak Tubex Inc. plant makes more
than 4 billion drinking straws a year. That's enough straws to fill
more than 500 53foot trailers.
