A new idea coming from the established fiber Lenzing FR^®, Lenzing is launching the fiber innovation Lenzing FR^® BLACK for the first time at Techtextil North America. The Lenzing FR^® fiber, with an incorporated black dyestuff, offers a host of advantages for both the textile industry and the wearer of protective clothing. Lenzing FR^® BLACK is the first and only black, flame resistant textile cellulose fiber.

The unique advantages of Lenzing FR^® BLACK stem from the proprietary processing which influences the tenacity of the yarn. With Lenzing FR^® BLACK, the tenacity is retained which creates a longer service life of the textile. Moreover, for the wearer of black Lenzing FR^® protective clothing, the high light fastness and fastness to perspiration prove to be a particular advantage. Extraordinary high quality is required in protective clothing since the apparel is often called upon to save lives.Additionally, Lenzing FR^® BLACK has an important environmental advantage. The unique coloring does not create waste water since the color is directly injected into the spinning mass. No flock oryarn dyeing is required.

The Lenzing FR^® BLACK fiber innovation is used in various applications in industrial clothing – wherever long-lasting colors are in demand.

Made from the natural raw material wood, Lenzing FR^® offers protection from heat stress in a variety of different applications. Around the globe, Lenzing FR^® sets the quality standard among cellulose fibers with incorporated flame resistance. Only Lenzing FR^® is produced in the Lenzing Modal process thereby producing the highest fiber tenacities and allowing the incorporated protection to work in a permanent manner.
