Manufacturas Industriales de Tortellà S.A. (MITSA) — a Spain-based textile processing company
specializing in fabric lamination for bedding protection and technical textile applications — has
teamed with Austria-based cellulosic fiber producer Lenzing AG to introduce a flame-retardant,
waterproof and elastic laminated fabric.
Dermofresh FR comprises a blend of Lenzing FR® flame-resistant fiber and Tencel®, a
moisture-managing, cooling and antibacterial fiber. The fabric enhances sleep comfort and initially
was developed for use as a protective covering for beds, but it can be used in other applications,
