Comprehensive Evaluation of Fabric Wetting Resistance

The SDL Atlas Impact Penetration Tester stands out as the prime choice for accurately determining the wetting resistance of textiles. Designed to assess the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by impact, this instrument is a must-have for simulating real-world conditions such as rain penetration. Its high-grade stainless steel frame ensures both repeatable and precise test results, cementing its position as an industry-standard tool.

Specifically tailored to meet AATCC TM42 requirements, the SDL Atlas Impact Penetration Tester is distinguished by its Type II Design. Accompanied by the specialized 6” x 9” Blotting Paper required for testing, available in packs of 250 or 1,500 sheets, this tester is fully equipped to meet your laboratory’s needs. Key features include a smooth-flowing funnel with an internal small blade for swirl prevention, robust sample clamping with a weighted bottom clamp to flatten specimens, a drip catcher for post-test cleanliness, and an air-bubble level on the base to ensure the instrument’s proper alignment.
