The Laboratory for Characterization and Processing of Polymers (LCPP) specializes in professional testing, measurement and analysis of textiles, polymeric materials, and composite products. Equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory technology and supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team, we deliver accurate and reliable results for a broad range of materials and applications.

Materials and Products We Test

We provide testing and analysis for: 

  • Fibers – natural, chemical (synthetic, regenerated, inorganic, etc.)  
  • Yarns and flat textiles – woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics 
  • Technical textiles (transport, protection, medicine, agriculture, etc.), tapes, ropes, cords 
  • Films, foils, and laminates 
  • Finished textile products and composite materials for industrial or consumer use 

Types of Testing and Analysis 

  • Physical and mechanical properties – tensile strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability 
  • Physico-chemical properties – moisture absorption, UV resistance, air and moisture permeability, thermal performance 
  • Chemical composition analysis – fiber identification, additive detection, and component verification 
  • Failure and damage analysis – identification of defects, degradation causes, and performance issues 

All testing is performed in full compliance with internationally recognized standards: 
ISO, ASTM, AATCC, and other relevant specifications.
