The Fabric Property Development & Characterization Course is part of INDA's and The Nonwovens Institute's (NWI) Professional Development Series of nonwoven courses designed to enhance professionals' industry intelligence and career development.

Developing advanced nonwoven fabrics can change your product line. But gaining access to the proper laboratory equipment and machines to create nonwoven fabrics can be problematic. In this course, you will have access to The Nonwovens Institute's state-of-the-art facility – laboratories and running machinery.

During this course, visitors will be able to learn about the most important fabric properties and how they are achieved as well as how to measure those properties.

Take this 3.5-day journey through the properties and characterization labyrinth and you will discover:

  • Fibre orientation
  • Compressibility
  • Softness
  • Tensile
  • Basis weight
  • Distribution and diameter
  • Flammability
  • Moisture and vapour transmission
