Emtec is set to launch a unique method and device for measuring the haptic parameters of textiles and nonwoven materials at the World Congress on Textile Coating (WCTC), an online event to be held on February 11-12, and on February 18-19, 2021. Emtec is a leading producer of high-tech testing equipment for the textile, nonwoven, and paper industries.
Emtec’s Tactile Sensation Analyzer (TSA) gives a calculated value for the hand-feel/touch of a fabric based on the parameters of softness, smoothness, stiffness, flexibility, recovery, and elasticity. This data enables precise adjustments and reproducible results to ensure a quality product. In a presentation on February 12, 2021, Emtec’s global marketing and business development manager, Alexander Grüner, will explain and demonstrate the measuring principle behind the TSA, which is the only existing device to fulfil all of the industry requirements for measuring textiles and nonwovens, according to Emtec.Emtec is set to launch a unique method and device for measuring the haptic parameters of textiles and nonwoven materials at the World Congress on Textile Coating (WCTC), an online event to be held on February 11-12, and on February 18-19, 2021.

The multifunctional measuring instrument simultaneously gathers all single relevant parameters that influence the haptic characteristics of nonwovens and textiles to produce a numeric value that corresponds nearly perfectly to the results of experienced hand-panels, but at a fraction of a cost and time spent. The device has applications in nearly every stage of production, from research and development, to product and process optimisation, to quality assurance, Emtec said in a media statement.
“There’s definitely a shift toward a stronger focus on the quality of fabrics, both on the manufacturing side and the consumer side. Consumers are becoming more aware and discerning about what fabrics they buy. They want to know how the fabric was made, if it is sustainable, and they want it to be pleasing to touch. And manufacturers are striving to keep up with this change in demand,” Grüner said in an Emtec press release.
