The Household & Personal Hygiene Industry
Personal products like tissue, paper towels, cleaning tissues, and feminine hygiene products are adsorbent fabrics derived from nonwovens and textile technologies. These fabrics are specially designed to "move" or transport various types of moisture from one place to another.
Mite resistance for products like bed sheets, pillow covers, and sleeping bags is determined by the throat-diameters of their pores which can be determined by PMI Porometers. PMI Liquid Extrusion Porosimeter is ideal for characterization of such products. The instrument can determine liquid holding capacity, saturation, desaturation, and resaturation properties of these products. PMI Vapor Permeameter and Water Vapor Transmission Analyzers can determine the ability for water vapor transport.
PMI Porometers are ideal for characterizing pore size of these fabrics. Moisture transport is determined by the interaction of the material with the liquid.
