TENCEL\u00ae – dream fiber for bed linen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Lenzing Lyocell fiber TENCEL\u00ae is the first fiber to be medically tested according to the FKT test method criteria for body compatibility and toxic substances.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lyocell fiber TENCEL\u00ae stands for skin-sensory properties in many products. Particularly in the home textiles market, these properties are essential in bed linens when it comes to the end consumer\u2019s buying decision. Textiles which come into contact with the skin should satisfy the highest standards. Lenzing has taken the first important step with this test by KFT, the F\u00f6rdergemeinschaft K\u00f6rpervertr\u00e4gliche Textilien e.V.<\/p>\n

Thus TENCEL\u00ae is the first fiber which may use the FKT label \u201cMEDICALLY TESTED \u2013 TESTED FOR TOXINS\u201d. \u201cSleep is critical to good health,\u201d Dr. Susanne Jary, Director Home & Interiors at Lenzing, explains. \u201cA medically proven starting material such as the TENCEL\u00ae fiber promotes good health. Above all, bed linens which are mostly in direct contact with the skin can make a major contribution towards general well-being,\u201d Jary continues. \u201cFor this reason, it is extremely important to us that our fiber satisfies the criteria of the FKT label and is thus a pre-requisite for health-friendly home textiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooperation with FKT to promote body compatible textiles<\/h3>\n

\u201dCooperation with Lenzing is an important step to establish the FKT label in the textile industry,\u201d Prof. Dr. Michael Doser, Board Member of the F\u00f6rdergemeinschaft K\u00f6rpervertr\u00e4gliche Textilien, explains. \u201cThe FKT label is a reliable quality characteristic for strictly scientific and independently tested textiles,\u201d he says. FKT awards the label \u201cMEDICALLY TESTED – TESTED FOR TOXINS\u201d which is a reliable quality label for textiles that don\u2019t release any chemicals that may irritate the skin or damage a person\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

This unique combination of tests for harmful substances and for sensitive effect-based body compatibility provides double tested safety. The manufacturers of high-quality textiles use this scientific certification to verify their quality standards and build a high degree of confidence with their end customers. These high-quality testing standards ensure that the TENCEL\u00ae fiber meets the strictest skin compatibility tests in line with the approval criteria for medical devices. This generates trust and transparency in and for the end consumer and offers considerable influence when it comes to the decision to buy the textile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
