Testing laboratories (SL-FAT)

Testing of fiber materials is carried out in our institute since its establishment. In 1993, accreditation by SNAS was granted to our physical, analytical and textile testing laboratories. VUCHV was the first subject in the era of independent Slovakia, which were granted with this kind of accreditation.

Accredited testing laboratories are objective, impartial and independent. Our staff ensures the confidentiality of information and is ready to meet customer requirements in the shortest possible terms.

SL-FAT activity is focused on the following areas:

  • fibers, yarns, fabrics, textile haberdashery products, textile products
  • textile toys
  • polymeric materials
  • selected components of the environment – waste water, aqueous extracts, sludge, soil, waste and so on

Our laboratories:

  • laboratory of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)
  • laboratory of UV-VIS spectroscopy
  • laboratory light microscopy
  • laboratory of eco-analysis
  • laboratory of gas chromatography (GC / MS)
  • laboratory of FT-IR Spectroscopy
  • laboratory of thermal and thermogravimetric methods (DSC and TGA)
  • laboratory of flammability assessment

  • coloristic laboratory

In our laboratories we test following characteristics:

  • health safety (hygienic-ecological properties)
  • strength, elongation, Young’s modulus of fibers
  • strength, ductility of fabrics and polymer films up to 5000 N
  • thermal and thermogravimetric properties
  • coloristic properties
  • flammability also for commodities destined for the automotive industry in terms of standards of individual carmakers
  • antistatic properties
  • light stability
  • morphology and macromorphologycal structure
  • microscopic tests (fiber cross-sections, longitudinal views of the fibers, the defect evaluation of the materials, etc.).
  • identification of unknown substances
  • determination of the technical characteristics of materials
  • rheological properties of polymers
  • other physical and mechanical properties

Price for the tests are set in our price list, which is available upon request (by phone or e-mail). We are ready to prepare specific offer, taking into account the needs of individual customer. For preparing of the price offer, please contact Ing. Elena Budzáková.
