KERMEL®  Lenzing FR

The fabrics made up of 30% or 50% Lenzing FR (FR viscose), having proven themselves over many years, are mainly used by security agents. These fabrics provide protection from heat and flames, but also from acids and chemical projections. These fabrics do not burn, do not melt and retain their mechanical properties.Kermel/ Lenzing FR mixtures provide constant protection from fire exposure and heat flash hazards. Ideally suited for hot climates, they offer a high degree of comfort, thanks to the flexibility and softness of the mixture. Thanks to this multi-purpose mixture, a large variety of clothing and underwear is available in fabric or knitwear.
