WSP 120.1 (INDA)

Introducing WSP 120.1 (INDA) – Industrial Physics

The WSP 120.1 (INDA) method is a testing approach used for the thickness testing of nonwoven fabrics.  

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 constitutes a nonwoven fabric?

Although nonwovens are classified within the textile industry, technologically speaking, they share characteristics with paper and plastic products as well as textile samples. 

The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of nonwovens that determine their suitability for use depend on both the fabric’s composition and structure. This relates to the fiber content as well as any chemical binders or fillers between the fibers in the fabric. The structure relates to the architecture and dimensional properties of the fabric, including the way in which the fibers are arranged.
