Using sensory panels to measure softness or hand feel can add weeks of delay in evaluating new products and processes. Results can vary among testers and panels. Lab Master Surface Softness Tester produces immediate, operator-independent measurement of surface friction that correlates with sensory panel data. Developed in conjunction with a major tissue manufacturer, the Lab Master Surface Softness Tester measures surface characteristics including friction and texture. Using Lab Master Surface Softness Testers allows standardization of test results in multiple facilities for production QC as well as R&D. The Lab Master Surface Softness Tester is the perfect complement to the Lab Master Softness Tester which measures the bulking thickness and compressibility aspect of softness
