SDL Atlas, US based textile testing solutions provider has introduced its 2nd generation of the MMT® (Moisture Management Tester). The tester comes with an open design test area, allowing use of larger samples like portions of garment to be tested and easier cleaning of test sensors. The metal housing makes the instrument more robust, while a new motorized upper sensor and sample positioning light make the test procedure even simpler. The SDL Atlas MMT measures the moisture management properties of knitted, woven, and nonwoven fabrics by measuring the liquid transport through a fabric and on both faces. Measurements include absorption rate, one-way transport, wetting time of top and bottom faces, maximum wetted radius on both surfaces, and an overall moisture management capacity.
