LENZING™ FR: Protective wear solutions from botanic origins
About the fiber
LENZING™ FR is a sustainably produced inherently flame-resistant cellulosic fiber based on Lenzing’s renowned Modal fiber production process. LENZING™ FR is commonly blended with other high-performance fibers to produce unique protective solutions for a variety of industrial applications. Our fibers typically contribute both protective qualities and enhanced comfort to these fabric blends.
Benefits
How you benefit from LENZING™ FR 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.

Technologies
Advanced technologies for LENZING™ FR fibers
FR Technology & Flame Resistance
Fabrics including LENZING™ FR fibers offer protection and a reduction of heat stress in hot climatic regions, largely owing to the unique features of the LENZING™ FR fiber.
Color technology
Our spun-dyed fibers offer long-lasting color fastness, particularly to light and bleaching, contributing to design flexibility in textiles.
Manufacturing process
LENZING™ FR is a sustainably produced inherently flame-resistant cellulosic fiber based on Lenzing’s renowned Modal fiber production process. LENZING™ FR fibers meet the definition of “inherently flame retardant and resistant fibers” as specified by the European Man-made Fibers Association (CIRFS).
