With the introduction of two additions to its SafeLeigh® line of fire-retardant, recycled fibers, Leigh Fibers has extended those benefits to many more spinning and nonwoven applications. SafeLeigh® Natural and SafeLeigh® Premium are predominantly meta-aramid and made with 100% recycled post-industrial materials.

SafeLeigh® meta-aramid recycled fibers are ideal for flame-retardant fabrics and other heat shielding applications. They are suitable for coarse yarn spinning and for the nonwoven fabrics used in bedding, filtration and many other products. SafeLeigh® Natural is a natural colored fiber while SafeLeigh® Premium is a multicolored fiber.

SafeLeigh® recycled fibers help manufacturers meet flame retardant standards without the use of chemical additives. They are high-quality, cost-effective alternatives for companies who want to capitalize on the growing consumer demand for environmentally-friendly products.

Leigh Fibers offers a wide array of recycled materials, including technical, synthetic and natural fibers, textile by-products, and single- and multi-polymer materials for plastic applications. All products are custom-blended to meet specific customer needs, with special attention to consistency, quality and cost-effectiveness.

Leigh is one of the world’s leading recyclers of textile waste and fiber by-products, with a commitment to reducing waste that goes back more than 85 years and so far has diverted billions of pounds from North American landfills.
