Protective wear
Staying cool under pressure: Reliable fiber solutions for protective wear
About Protective wear
In high-risk professions, every detail matters. Firefighters facing intense heat, racing drivers pushing limits, and emergency responders working under pressure all rely on protective wear that performs when it counts.
At Lenzing, we develop cellulosic fibers that help make protective gear both functional and comfortable, ensuring that those who protect us can focus on the job at hand.
Benefits
How protective wear benefits from Lenzing fibers
Botanic origin
LENZING™ FR fibers are mainly manufactured from beech wood, sourced from sustainably grown forests in Austria and neighboring countries.
Ideal blending partner
LENZING™ FR is commonly blended with other high performance fibers like aramids, wool or nylon to produce unique protective fabric blend solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
Sustainable production
Fully integrated pulp and fiber production at the Lenzing site in Austria makes it possible to produce LENZING™ FR fibers in an environmentally responsible way.
Moisture management
The cellulose structure of the LENZING™ FR fibers regulates the absorption and release of moisture, contributing to fabric breathability that supports the body’s natural thermal regulation.
Wide area of application
LENZING™ FR fibers provide superior flame resistance and layer concepts for protective wear in firefighting, military, oil & gas, metal industries, electric arc protection, and motorsports.
