Thwing-Albert proudly announces the launch of their latest Thickness Tester, the ProGage Touch. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of quality control and research and development, the ProGage Touch is an advanced micrometer that offers exceptional precision and accuracy. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the new ProGage Touch incorporates several notable enhancements. A user-friendly touchscreen interface offers intuitive navigation of the setup options, parameter configuration, and ease of reviewing test results and analysis.
Materials testing serves an important purpose when it comes to how the package performs in the hands of your customer. Will the medicine pouch open safely without the pills falling to the floor? Does the yogurt cup make a mess at the lunch table? What if the drink cup collapses when it is passed to the back seat? These can be some messy or frustrating experiences for the end user. These applications are some of the real-life examples of your quality testing at work behind the scenes.
As we watch our customers make strides and develop the latest sustainable solutions for their existing products it is energizing to see the innovation. With emerging materials we know that the testing needs may also be impacted in the future. When it comes to research and development testing is critical – your materials need to hold up to existing standards and meet your sustainability goals. This might be achieved through the choice of raw materials used, the production process, resource efficiency, eco innovation or waste reduction.
Are your laboratory instruments providing you with the accurate measurement data you require? If your company hasn’t had a Preventive Maintenance Inspection (PMI) performed on your instruments recently then the answer may be no. Why take the risk?
This year, EDANA and INDA, the leading global nonwovens associations, have jointly launched the 2021 edition of standard procedures for the nonwovens and related industries. The Nonwovens Standard Procedures (NWSP) provides test procedures and guidance to support quality applications across the nonwovens and related industries.
This small table top design is a valuable addition to the laboratory and can help increase efficiency in developing new materials or verifying your existing products are up to the required industry standards.
This tester follows the free-falling dart method and is ideal for testing Plastic Films, Coated Materials, Sheeted Materials, Nylons, and Building Materials. Meet ASTM D1709 Method A and Method B depending on the setup.
When testing materials an important factor to consider is environmental influences on performance. Materials often need to be evaluated at temperatures other than ambient to better quantify and predict how they will perform through the production process and, ultimately, for end-use application.
