SWEATOR-Skin

Climate and textile patterns/compounds

Simulating the human perspiration process SWEATOR focusses on the development of water vapor and avoids – like a human being in a physically non active state – the build-up of direct wetness. The base model SKIN allows for the testing or the comparison of textile patterns or textile compounds which for example are used in ready-made apparel. SKIN offers a climate field of 20 x 30 cm. The patterns are mounted on the device and are treated with a defined and constant amount of heat and humidity. The SWEATOR-SKIN will be delivered with an advised measurement procedure for best practice climate tracking and evaluation.

We would be pleased to inform you in detail. Product shapes, technical data and prices on request.
