C-Therm’s touch tester is the only product for quantifying touch performance that fully complies with ASTM D7984. The Tx Touch Tester is employed by the top global sports apparel brands and textile testing labs including Adidas, Columbia Sportswear, Marks (Canadian Tire), Intertek, the Taiwan Textile Research Institute, and Bureau Veritas.

Touch is a critical performance attribute in material selection and quality control for bedding textiles, automotive, and fabrics apparel sectors. Thermal effusivity quantifies how materials feel to the touch, whether warm or cool, taking away the guesswork for industries that want to improve product performance.

Materials with a low thermal effusivity feel warmer and materials with a higher thermal effusivity feel cooler. Testing materials for their thermal performance and touch properties has a broad range of applications, including activewear, diapers, denim, and personal protective clothing, to name a few.

C-Therm’s thermal effusivity instrument is equipped with the patented Modified Transient Plane Source (MTPS) sensor, a single-sided sensor that measures the thermal effusivity of a broad range of textiles and fabrics in 1 to 3 seconds.
