Skin sensorial comfort of textiles
Objective:
These tests measure how a textile is perceived on the skin. By means of test devices
sensorial sensations are presentable in numbers and thus become comparable.
The test is particularly suited for:
All textiles in direct contact with the skin, e.g.
 underwear
 T-shirts
 sweaters
 bed linen
 stockings, socks and tights
Description:
Different measurements quantify various textile characteristics that influence the skin
sensorial comfort:
 The wet cling index indicates how likely a textile is to adhere to skin moistened by
perspiration.
 The sorption index measures how fast a water drop is absorbed by the textile.
 The surface index expresses the hairiness or roughness/smoothness of a textile.
 The number of contact points between the textile and skin states how fast a textile
will be sensed as clammy or damp.
 The stiffness of a textile is an indicator how good a textile will adapt to the body
shape.
 The water vapour permeability index describes the thermal and moisture management which is important for the sensorial comfort.
