SynTouch will showcase its complete framework to help nonwovens manufacturers achieve the best hand-feel for their products.

The SynTouch framework features hardware, software, cloud-based portals and data-science methods based on the company’s Toccare Haptics Profiles, 15-dimensional quantifications of how materials feel in precise conformance with human tactile perception. The profiles are obtained by the Toccare Haptics Measurement System, the world’s only instrument that objectively and accurately quantifies the haptics of any surface. The instrument replicates biomimetically how humans feel and explore surfaces, which provides a clear advantage over trying to simulate one of the most complex human senses with electromechanical or acoustic devices.

Since 2017, SynTouch has been successfully helping nonwovens global brands and specialty manufacturers evaluate, discover, formulate, source and market the tactile feel of their end-products, components and materials in all categories, including baby care, femcare, adult care, wipes, PPE and paper products.
