Lenzing Lyocell fiber TENCEL® has become the first ever fiber to be medically tested in accordance to the FKT standard for body compatibility and toxic substances. The fiber known for its skin-sensory properties enjoys acceptance across home textiles segment, bed linen especially. “Textiles which come into contact with the skin should satisfy the highest standards. Lenzing has taken the first important step with this test by FKT, the Fördergemeinschaft Körperverträgliche Textilien e.V. Thus TENCEL® is the first fiber which may use the FKT label of “medically tested – tested for toxins”,” reveals Dr. Susanne Jary, Director Home & Interiors, Lenzing. FKT awards the label “MEDICALLY TESTED – TESTED FOR TOXINS”, a reliable quality label for textiles that do not release any chemicals that may irritate the skin or damage a person’s health.
