The German manufacturer for testing equipment emtec Electronic will present its latest innovation for measuring the haptic properties of wipes and digitizing the results at the World of Wipes International Conference from July 17-20,2023 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The human sense of touch is notoriously unreliable and imprecise. Our fingertips are only able to give an overall subjective impression of a material’s haptic –such as its softness, smoothness, and stretch – yet cannot reliably distinguish between haptic parameters. In addition, tactile preferences vary, sometimes widely, among...

- Produktbeschreibung:
The new FPA touch! Fiber Potential Analyzer combines proven methods of Zeta Potential measurement with the known great simplicity of handling and functioning of the previous FPA versions, but enhanced with new features and an immense reduction in weight and size.
Surface charges of fibers, fillers, particles or colloidally dissolved substances in stock suspension are defined by the Zeta Potential on their surfaces. The charge of the stock suspension can be split into the colloidal and particle charge, measured with the CAS touch! Charge Analyzing System, while the fiber and filler charge is measured with the FPA touch! Fiber Potential Analyzer. All both charge levels together define the overall Zeta Potential of fiber suspensions.
The knowledge of the fiber charges in the pulp is the key for optimized dosage of chemical aids, which should be adsorbed onto the surface of the fiber. The mostly negatively (anionic) charged fiber is adsorbing the positive (cationic) charged additives in the papermaking process. The optimized dosage of such aids always depends on the Zeta Potential within the pulp.
The FPA touch! is designed to determine the Zeta Potential of fibers according to the HelmholtzSmoluchowski equation by simultaneously measuring conductivity, pressure and the streaming current potential. The measuring principle is based on the streaming current potential measuring method in a fiber plug. That fiber plug is automatically building up on a screen electrode in the measuring cell of the FPA by a vacuum. By periodically changing the vacuum during the measurement the charge clouds absorbed on the fibers are moving with the liquid stream and generating the streaming current potential measured by the screen and ring electrode.
The knowledge of the fiber charge enables a correct and effective dosage of the charged chemical additives. The fiber adsorption of cationic starch, wet strength resin, and many other chemical aids can be easily measured with original samples on-site to optimize the dosage of chemicals in the wet end of the paper manufacturing process.

- Eigenschaft: Base and finished products of nonwovens and textiles, even material of unusual shape
- Vorteile:
- Vorteil: objective determination of the softness, roughness and stiffness (independent availability of the results)
- Vorteil: measurement of elasticity (elongation) as well as of hysteresis and plasticity (recovery behavior) are integrated in standard measurement
- Vorteil: measurement of the compressibility and crumplability with special modules possible
- Vorteil: calculation of a so-called HF (hand feel) value by different algorithms possible (HF value = touch, comfort)
- Vorteil: special finished goods, such as diapers, femcare products or seat belts can be measured by the help of special adapters
- Vorteil: excellent correlation with the human tactile sensation
- Vorteil: accurate and reliable
- Vorteil: easy handling and transportation
- Produktbeschreibung:
The new TSA measures - like its previous model - the softness, smoothness and flexibility of base and finished products objectively and reliably. Moreover, specific hand feel values (HF) can be calculated from these parameters using mathematical models.
A fundamentally improved capability of determining the sample's springback behavior has been added to the new device. Furthermore, the new TSA offers the possibility to measure two additional parameters: thermal haptics (surface thermal conductivity) and thermal insulation. A camera can take a high-resolution image of the clamped sample in order to give the user a visual impression of the material and to carry out further analyses.
All of this data is automatically digitized and can be processed and stored according to customer-specific requirements through a cloud-based haptic database, the Virtual Haptic Library (developed in cooperation with Black Swan Textiles, USA), making it available to authorized persons worldwide in real-time (quality assurance and control). Additionally, this Virtual Haptic Library enables a search for suitable fabrics worldwide, cataloged according to haptic properties.
