FABRIC PROPERTIES & CHARACTERIZATION: A COURSE FROM INDA & NCRC

Cary, NC . . . Fabric Properties & Characterization is jointly produced by INDA and NCRC (Nonwovens Cooperative Research Center at NCSU). The course is scheduled July 18 – 22, 2005 at INDA Headquarters, Cary, North Carolina. Fabric Properties & Characterization is an in-depth study of various characterization methods used for evaluating nonwoven products, structures and performance. Coursework includes instruction in engineering fundamentals as well as laboratory experience at the NCRC state-of-the-art facilities.

Cos Camelio, Technical Director, INDA, said, “This characterization course is designed to help participants reduce rejections of first-quality products, reduce acceptance of off-quality products, resolve production problems more quickly, thereby increasing customer satisfaction. This exceptional experience gives participants the ability to see first-hand the application of characterization methods used to distinguish the fabrics from various nonwovens processes.”

Course Learning Outcomes include:

* Describe characterization methods for nonwoven fabrics.

* Describe the test methods for properties.

* Explain structural-property relationships in nonwovens.

This course is designed for professionals involved in R&D, manufacturing, product development, production and plant operations with a BS degree in engineering or textiles. For a complete brochure and registration information visit:
