SDL Atlas launches Textender

SDL Atlas’ latest
instrument, the Textender, is designed to evaluate the stretch, recovery, and
growth properties of fabrics, especially those used in sportswear and
athleisure clothing.

 

The Textender meets both
the ASTM D2594 and ASTM D3107 standards which historically require two
different testers. The new design also meets the modified requirements of a
number of renowned retailers of knitted and woven fabrics made from stretch
yarns.

 

In order to meet the
testing needs of any laboratory environment, the Textender is supplied in three
configurations, movable wheeled six-stations unit (three stations per side),
movable wheeled three-stations unit, and wall-mounted three-stations unit.

 

The Textender provides
accurate and reliable testing results through the use of precision
multifunction station timers. Each timer can be operated independently and
remotely, allowing the operator the flexibility of leaving the testing area
during the test duration.

 

Three optional weights 8,
3 and 1 pounds can be combined to perform a variety of specific tests including
ASTM test methods. Optional evaluation rulers and a custom designed bench
marking template can be supplied for performing sample measurements both before
and after testing.

 

Committed to providing
customers confidence in standard based testing, SDL Atlas has offices and
experts in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China, plus agents
serving over 100 countries, SDL Atlas is ready to support its customers with
instruments, test materials, and services anywhere in the world.
