WICK AND WEIGH TEST

The fluid handling of nonwoven and woven
materials for hygienic and other applications
involving fluids has a major impact on the
functionality of the end product. A detailed
analysis of the capillary properties of the
material gives essential feedback for purposes
of product- and process optimisation.

FLUSHABILITY TESTER

Declaration of flushability becomes more and
more important in line with the increasing use
of consumable wipes of nonwoven materials.
Incorrect or non existent labelling for flushability
causes problems with clogging, blockages and
equipment failure in the conveyance and
wastewater treatment systems.
The guidelines drawn up by INDA/EDANA
include a number of tests, which assists
producers in verifying the flushability of their
products.

FLUSHABILITY TESTER

The market for disposable hygiene products
has increased rapidly in the last years. For
producers of nonwoven consumer products it
is therefore becoming more and more important
to test the compatibility of their products with
various wastewater treatment systems.
One criterion for a product to be called flushable
is to which degree the product settles in various
parts of the wastewater system. The
corresponding test is the column settling test.
