The Scientific Research Institute of Textile and Light Industry (SRITLI)
The Scientific Research Institute of Textile and Light Industry (SRITLI) is a scientific structural unit of JSC "Almaty Technological University," established in 2004. The purpose of SRITLI is the systematic planning and effective organization of scientific research, as well as participation in the training of highly qualified specialists.
SRITLI conducts both fundamental and applied scientific research across a wide range of areas in the textile and light industry, including:
- Development of design methods for specialized clothing for various purposes, aimed at protecting against hazardous and harmful industrial factors, based on the study of working conditions;
- Development of design concepts for light industry products;
- Development of design methods for various types of yarns and textile materials with special properties such as fire resistance, thermal insulation, water resistance, oil repellency, antibacterial effects, etc.;
- Development of innovative technologies for the production of nonwoven materials;
- Development of new textile auxiliary agents based on water-soluble polymers for the finishing of textile materials;
- Resource-saving technologies in knitting and spinning production;
- Quality and safety of non-food products and goods.
Between 2004 and 2024, SRITLI has developed a robust technical infrastructure equipped with a range of modern machinery, computer systems with specialized software, and automated systems for the design of garments.
Ongoing work includes the development and design of instruments and installations for:
- measuring noise levels transmitted through material assemblies intended for protective clothing;
- determining the thermal insulation properties of materials and garment assemblies;
- studying the deformation of materials under cyclic loads;
- testing the wear resistance of clothing material assemblies.
The organizational structure of SRITLI includes:
- The Scientific Research Laboratory of Technology and Safety of Textile Materials
- The Scientific Research Laboratory for the Design of Light Industry Products.
