At MoOD Lenzing will present, amongst others, a new flame-resistant fiber especially for use in upholstery fabrics in public transportation vehicles.
The newly developed Lenzing FR® fiber, meets all the safety standards for public safety. Lenzing FR® is made from beech wood and is endowed with all of the positive properties this natural fiber has to offer. The guidelines which apply to public transportation vehicles are particularly strict. The fabric and materials used in these applications have to satisfy the safety standards. With a newly developed Lenzing FR® fiber, these satisfy all the safety standards for public safety.
The advantage of a safety fiber in public transportation is that Lenzing FR® is made from beechwood and is endowed with all of the positive properties this natural fiber has to offer. The seating “climate” remains excellent even over longer distances since the good breathing properties of the fiber take effect here. The special thing about Lenzing FR® or the “divan fiber” is that, unlike conventional protection fibers, it does not melt, drip or afterglow.
The latter properties represent an enormous risk for passengers. Another important safety aspect is that the new flame-resistant fiber delivers a lower rate of toxicity and flue gas density in the event of a fire. The „divan fiber“ is particularly well suited for use in blends with wool. Both fibers complement each other superbly. Resistance to fading and excellent pilling performance coupled with durability make upholstery fabrics a pleasure to sit on. As a result of using the Lenzing FR® “divan fiber”, treating wool with additional, ecologically harmful flame-retardant agents is not necessary – another production advantage! The new specialty fiber can be used in various transportation vehicles. Wherever safety and comfort
are in demand, Lenzing FR® is the answer whether in maritime or rail transportation, air transportation, subways or in public spaces such as cinemas and theatres. More comfort less heat stress. Lenzing FR® protects against heat stress. Produced from
wood, a natural raw material, Lenzing FR® offers protection against heat and flame in a variety of different applications. Around the world Lenzing FR® sets the standard for quality among cellulose fibers with an incorporated FR agent. Only Lenzing FR® is produced using the Lenzing Modal® process. This ensures that the very highest fiber tenacities are obtained and makes it possible to insert the FR agent in a permanent manner.
