CERTIFICATION KAWABATATest de Kawabata

The primary objective of AITEX is to meet the textile sector’s needs, and in order to fulfil this role, AITEX has all the necessary equipment to enable us to carry out a range of specific tests, that is why the Textile Physics Laboratory offers its clients the KAWABATA tactile test for textiles.

Given the high expectations that a potential client has of a textile product and the demands that he makes of it, the quality of a textile is no longer measured by the aspect or physical and added value properties of the product alone, although these do play a vital role. The tactile quality is now widely perceived as having great importance in the broad concept of “final textile quality.”

The quality of a textile can also be expressed in new sensorial parameters which are much more demanding and subjective, given that nowadays, comfort and human perception are given far more importance than was previously the case, which is nothing if not a reflection of the consumer’s opinion.

With the KAWABATA Test, a whole range of qualities are evaluated to determine, amongst other characteristics, the softness of an article and awarding it a certification. The KES is an experimentation system made up of modules that permit the measurement of the following qualities:

Tension

Pure bending

Shear test

Compression

Surface

These variables are measured in each of the modules that comprise the test equipment and the combination of the results gives a value which is known as the “hand” of the textile product. (The feel that the user perceives while handling the article)
