Purpose of equipment: The Xenotest Alpha is an instrument for finding out the effect of light and other weather conditions on the material. The samples are exposed to exact conditions (temperature, relative humidity, illumination, with or without rain). With such accelerated simulation of these parameters, the properties of the material after a longer period of time can be predicted. With the use of different filters, exposure to direct sunlight, behind window glass or behind car glass can be simulated. These test methods can be driven according to international standards used for textiles, papers and plastics (SIST ISO 105-B02, SIST ISO 105-B04, SIST ISO 105-B06, SIST ISO 12040, ISO 4892, ISO 11341).

The laboratory melt spinning device is designed for the production of synthetic filament yarns in the melt spinning process. Synthetic filament yarns of different synthetic polymers with the melting point under 300 °C can be formed i.e.: PE, PP, PA 6, PA 66, PET, PLA etc. The advantage of the laboratory melt spinning device is in its laboratory size as allows the production of filament yarns from a very small amount of the polymer. Research on the laboratory-spinning machine is oriented towards the use of new polymers and additives.

Purpose of equipment:
The digital printer Textile Jet Tx2-1600 is designed to print textiles. It works on the principle DOD (drop on demand), with a drop of dye formed only where this is dictated by the pattern. It is possible to print eight different colours at high speeds. Depending on the composition of the dye printing of textile materials with different fibre compositions is possible. The printer has reactive dyes installed, which are suitable for printing of cotton, wool, silk and viscose. The fabric should be finished with all necessary chemicals before printing and stored in the roll. It is possible to print fabrics and knitted fabrics, if they do not wrinkle or shrink. Printing can be made on either side. The thickness of fabric should be between 0.1 and 7 mm.
