Lenzing FR® is a man-made cellulosic fiber
made by Lenzing AG. It is permanently flame retardant
treated in the fiber forming process. Lenzing FR® has been
extensively used in fabric blends where it provides increased
moisture absorption and comfort without compromising protection. |
| Applications |
|
| For industrial protective clothing, Lenzing FR®
is commonly blended with other fibers such as para and meta
aramids, P84®, and PBI. Lenzing FR® can be used in knits,
wovens, and non-wovens. |
| Not Recommended For |
|
| Use in outer shell fabrics, bunker gear, or other
applications where abrasion resistance and extreme physical |
| Flame Resistance |
|
| Lenzing FR® is permanently flame resistant
and this property cannot be degraded by laundering. A solid,
non-soluble flame retardant is incorporated at the fiber spinning
stage. |
| Colors |
|
| Dyeable in a wide range of colors. Colorfastness
to laundering is variable and similar to normal viscose fiber. |
| Effect of Acids and Alkalis |
|
| Lenzing FR® is stable when exposed to a wide
variety of acids and alkalis. It is recommended, however, to
avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of sulfuric
acid, sodium hydroxide, dimethyl formamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
The fabric does not provide personal chemical protection to
the wearer. Where chemical exposure is a hazard, appropriate
specialized barrier garments should be selected. |
| Effect of Bleaches and Solvents |
|
| Lenzing FR® is stable when exposed
to a wide variety of bleaching agents and organic solvents. |
