SDL Atlas would like to invite you to our booth # W3B51 at the 14th International Exhibition on Textile Industry (Shanghai Tex 2009) June 12-15, 2009. SDL Atlas will have display many kinds of advanced and useful textile testing instruments on display, including;-

• H1KS Universal Testing Machine which tests a wide range of materials in tension, compression, flexure, shear and peel;
• Martindale Abrasion & Pilling Tester which determines the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures;
• ICI/M&S Pilling and Snagging Tester which rapidly replicate pilling or snagging on fabrics in a fraction of the time due to normal wear,
• Digital Elmendorf Tearing Tester which determines the ballistic tearing strength of textiles, plastics, paper or board;
• Automatic Digital Bursting Strength Tester which determines the bursting strength and distension at burst of woven, knitted and non woven fabrics, papers and boards by the application of hydraulic load under a rubber diaphragm;
• Hydrostatic Head Tester which accurately and swiftly determines the resistance of fabrics (coated, uncoated & non wovens) to water penetration under pressure whilst firmly clamped in the test rig of 100cm 2 area, by means of dynamic test method and static test method;
• Moisture Management Tester which measures dynamic liquid transport properties of knit and woven fabrics in three dimensions; Rotawash Colour Fastness Testers which determines colour fastness to washing or dry cleaning to ISO, BS, AATCC and SDC standards;
• Digital Air Permeability Tester accurately and swiftly determines the resistance of fabrics (woven, knitted and non woven textile materials) to the passage of air (air flow) under constant pre-set air pressure whilst firmly clamped in the test rig of selected test head / area;
• AFC 45°Automatic Flammability Tester which determine the burning characteristics of textiles under controlled conditions and Atlas Ci4000 Weather-Ometer which determines optimal weathering and lightfastness of fabrics.

By understanding current industrial conditions and focusing on market needs, ShanghaiTex 2009, is striving to serve as an effective business platform for enterprises to launch their new products & technologies, build up their brands and explore new markets.
