Lenzing FR® - The Heat Protection Fiber

Permanent protection form heat

Natural safety.

Lenzing FR® offers protection from all kinds of heat: fire, radiant heat, electric arcs, molten metals and flash fires. The most important goal of protective clothing is to prevent the skin from burns. After all, the skin is the body’s largest and most sensitive organ.

Permanent protection incorporated.

From a technical point of view, Lenzing FR® is a work of art. The fiber, which is made of a natural raw material, has a flame retardant substance incorporated throughout the cross section of the fiber. As well as being eco-friendly, the latter also ensures permanent protection. The protective substance cannot be removed by either washing or abrasion. Flame resistant once, flame resistant forever.

  • The best heat protection fiber
  • Permanent flame resistance
  • Outstanding comfort
  • Environmentally friendly

The skin - the body's most important organ

Protection from burns.

People in professions involving a high level of risk from burns need to wear special protective clothing. Apart from direct fire, heat, in its different forms, represents a significant danger.

Skin is our largest organ and its only form of protection is our clothing. The outcome could be fatal if as little as 15% of the human skin is destroyed. Lenzing FR®, with its incorporated flame retardant agent, protects the skin from heat like no other flame resistant High Performance Fiber.

Lenzing FR® protects the skin from all kinds of heat:

Improved performance and efficiency

Lenzing FR® does not only offer you safety.

It offers you functionality. The performance and efficiency of the wearer improves significantly when the comfort of the protective garment is enhanced. Moisture absorption along with breathability and skin friendliness all have to be a given as all are vital components in flame resistant protective clothing. These properties make it possible for Lenzing FR®to significantly reduce the risk of heat stress and heat stroke.
