The emtec TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer, exclusively distributed by our company, has received the Changemakers Award from the World Textile Information Network (WTiN).

Through the TSA, emtec assists manufacturers, brands, and research institutions worldwide in measuring and optimizing the tactile properties of materials.

emtec TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer can evaluate multiple parameters such as surface softness, surface smoothness, stretch and recovery, thermal characteristics, friction, and wrinkle or drape performance. Such detailed analytical capability enables textile manufacturers to maintain the highest standards of product quality and comfort.
