WSP 120.6 (EDANA)

Introducing WSP 120.6 (EDANA) – Industrial Physics

The WSP 120.6 (EDANA) method is a thickness testing approach for nonwoven fabrics. Enquire at Industrial Physics. 

EDANA creates common standards and testing guidelines for nonwovens and related industries for materials testing and has a global reach with a focus on Europe, the Middle East and Africa. 

What makes a nonwoven fabric?

Nonwoven fabrics are classified within the textile industry. But they share characteristics with paper and plastic products as well as textile samples. 

The physical, chemical, and mechanical makeup of a nonwoven fabric determines their suitability for use, and this is influenced by the fabric’s composition and structure, as well as any fillers or chemical binders between the fibers. The nonwoven structure relates to the architecture and dimensional properties of the fabric, and this includes the manner in which the fibers are arranged.
