(Thwing-Albert: West Berlin, NJ) -- Thwing-Albert, a leading provider of physical property-testing instrumentation, has launched its latest thickness tester, the ProGage Touch. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of quality control and research and development, the ProGage Touch is an advanced micrometer that offers exceptional precision and accuracy.

The ProGage Touch is engineered to evaluate the thickness of various materials, including plastic film, paper, paperboard, nonwovens, tissue, and textiles, among others. By providing accurate thickness data, the micrometer can help customers optimize the performance of materials in real-life applications such as product packaging, shipping materials, and emerging sustainable alternatives like plant-based plastic films.
 
Unlike hand-held micrometers, the ProGage Touch controls the amount of pressure being exerted on the test specimen through a combination of the pressure-foot contact area and deadweight, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.
