SubscribeLenzing Fibers are introducing their new Quality Partner Program (QPP) for products that are based on Lenzing FR®, their inherently flame resistant fiber.
Lenzing wishes to ensure that the correct blend of materials is being used for the final protective garments. Incorrect blends could ultimately result in the difference between life and death in extreme situations.
Those responsible for specifying personal protective apparel have to offer their employees the very best in the way of protection. They must ensure that the materials used are compliant and meet the highest standards. For this reason, Lenzing Fibers are introducing QPP.
It will be implemented with the co-operation of Lenzing's value chain partners. It is intended to ensure optimum and consistent quality to end users who choose protective apparel made with Lenzing FRŽ.
Successful products inevitably attract "cheap" imitations. However, in the field of personal protective clothing, compromises are out of the question. Saving lives is what counts. Lenzing has, therefore, decided to work with selected quality partners worldwide.
Each of these partners can be counted on to provide 100% quality tested products. The name Lenzing FRŽ will act as a guarantee of this. All the fabrics which bear the name Lenzing FRŽ will have to meet strict quality standards.
This seal of quality will only be made available to Lenzing's approved value chain partners. The end users will be secure knowing that they are using only products that have been tested and found to be of the highest quality. In this time of global sourcing, it is increasingly difficult to ensure that the appropriate quality standards are always met. The Lenzing FRŽ seal of quality will ensure that you are making the right choice.
"Lenzing FRŽ, the fiber itself is the KEY!"
Lenzing FRŽ offers permanent protection. A flame resistant agent is incorporated directly into the fiber matrix before spinning the fiber in the wet process. The flame resistance of Lenzing FRŽ is totally unaffected by washing or physical abrasion.
Fabrics and garments made of Lenzing FRŽ blends offer the wearer optimum comfort, increased protection against heat and the highest levels of flame resistance and thermal protection. The properties of Lenzing FRŽ fiber, maximise the performance of the wearer while minimising the risk of injury, heat stress and heat stroke.
The Lenzing Group
The Lenzing Group, with its headquarters in Upper Austria, has consistently set new standards of quality and innovation in the field of man-made cellulosic fibers. Their fibers (Viscose, Modal, Lyocell, Lenzing FRŽ) are based on wood, a renewable, biodegradable and eco-friendly raw material.
These fibers are used both in the textile industry (in the field of fashion, home textiles and technical textiles), as well as in the non-woven industry (for hygiene, medical and cosmetic applications).
In addition to fiber production, the Lenzing Group is also active in the field of machine and plant construction, plastic films, PTFE fiber/ filament and paper.
