KERMEL company manufactures two types of meta aramid fibres:
- Kermel® is a highly technological meta aramid fibre, predominantly used in the manufacture of heat and flame resistant safety clothing.
- Kermel® Tech fibre is dedicated to industrial applications such as hot gas filtration. |
|
| Due to the outstanding properties in respect to heat resistance, tensile strength and cut resistance, Twaron® is increasingly used for heat and cut protective clothing. Apart of 100% Twaron® spun professional yarn, also blends with other high performance fibers are used. |
|
| Recently, several Twaron®-based geotextiles have been developed and proven their success. When applied in the construction business, these geotextiles provide extra rigidity to the structure, permitting construction work on a very thin foundation layer. In addition, Twaron®'s excellent properties guarantee minimum cracking of the asphalt layer throughout a road's service life. |
|
| Twaron® aramid fibres are used in all kinds of composite parts. Its unique combination of properties makes it suitable for a wide range of high performance applications. Twaron® aramid fibers combine the following properties: a high performance/low weight ratio, a high damage tolerance and a good abrasion resistance. |
|
| Twaron® and Technora® high-performance fibers are used in all kinds of composite parts. Their unique combination of properties makes them very suitable for a wide range of engineering plastics. |
|
| Different types of Twaron® pulp are used in: friction materials, sealing materials, technical paper and braided packings. |
|
| Twaron®, Technora® and Teijinconex® fibers are excellently suited for reinforcing mechanical rubber goods, such as hoses, transmission belts, and manufacturers of conveyor belts. Every application makes its specific demands on reinforcing materials. |
|
| Optical Fiber Cables are designed to guarantee the integrity of data transmission through the optical fibers in the cable by protecting the Optical Fibers against mechanical stress during the life of the cable. In order to do so, a peripheral reinforcement of man-made fibers like Twaron® and Technora®, is necessary. In addition to protection, other demands on the cable can be made like non-conductivity, weight or diameter limitations, and specifications concerning flexibility and handling. |
|
| Twaron® and Technora®'s unique combination of properties makes them an excellent material for the reinforcement of ropes and cables with advantages over both synthetic yarns and steel. |
|
| As the result of its superior performance/weight ration, aramid has become the first choice reinforcing material for high performance professional tires. Whether in car or motorcycle tires, whether optimized towards speed, handling or comfort, Twaron® is increasingly used by the major tire producers to further improve performance while minimizing tire weight. |
|
| Twaron® has excellent energy absorption properties and offers an effective and comfortable ballistic solution with an outstanding cost-performance ratio. At this moment, Twaron® in its many varieties has been implemented in numerous ballistic solutions and saving thousands of lives worldwide. |

For more than thirty years, Kermel® fibre has had tremendous success in providing innovative solutions for firefighter professional clothing.
KERMEL has always worked in close relationship with many fire brigades and fire department supply.
KERMEL has developed a very wide range of solutions made out from its Kermel® fibre, from fire resistant knitted professional underwear to fire suits :
Fire suits
Kermel fire reistant fibre is used in :
- the outer fabric
- the membrane support
- the thermal barrier
- the lining.
These elements are the parts of a multi-layer complex.
The multi-functional nature of this firefighter clothing hinges around four aspects :
- protection
- the integrity of the complex
- comfort
- appearance
Along with our partners, we can offer fire suits made from our fibre which meet the ever-increasing requirements of standard EN 469 in terms of protection, durability and comfort. |

Kermel fibre is a polyamide-imide, classified as a meta-aramid.
Many assets thanks to its chemical structure:
Non-flammability
It is permanently non-flammable by nature. Industrial protective apparel made from Kermel® aramid fibre thus offers maximum protection at very high temperatures (up to 1,000°C), contrary to protective industrial clothing only treated with a fire-retardant that deteriorates over time.
Thermal insulation
Kermel® aramid fibre is an excellent thermal insulator, providing efficient protection from heat, even in lightweight protective clothing.
Thermostability
Kermel® fabrics are flame stable and protective clothing integrity is maintained for a relatively long time, thus allowing for sufficient egress time.
Resistance to chemicals
The chemical inertness of Kermel® aramid fibres provides efficient protection against the majority of chemical agents, even at high concentrations under the effect of splashing.
Permanent colour
The main advantage of Kermel® over competing fibres is the fact that it is solution-dyed during the manufacturing process. This property allows exceptional color fastness. KERMEL offers a range of over 40 colours for your industrial protective clothing !
Extreme comfort
The fibre's low modulus results in Kermel® kevlar fabric and knitwear having unequalled drape, softness and comfort.
Impressive appearance
Kermel® does not pill: industrial protective clothing stay looking perfect over time.
Good mechanical resistance
Its high resistance to abrasion allows for the creation of extremely durable industrial protective clothing, that do not deteriorate during industrial wash cycles. |
|
KERMEL, the leading European company on the market of aramid fibres dedicated to protective clothing supplier against heat and flames, has developed a wide range of innovative textile solutions made out of its Kermel fibres.
The main users are:
- fire-fighters
- military and police forces
- personnel working in hazardous environment
Kermel fibre offers protection against very high temperatures and provide an unequalled level of comfort to industrial workwear. |

AGY's 401 S-2 Glass Chopped Strands are a unique product developed to meet the needs of the ceramic reinforcement market, as well as other high performance filler materials applications.
The 401 S-2 Glass chopped strands consist of numerous E to L filament continuous fibers cut into short pieces of consistent length. The standard length for the chopped strand product is ¼", or 6.4mm. Other lengths can be produced to order, but are considered non-standard products. The 401 size chemistry designation is applied to the chopped strand fibers. This chemistry is a multi-compatible size, suitable for use in epoxy, urethane, phenolic, and polyamide resin systems, and is also compatible with standard ceramic slurry processes. The 401 S-2 Glass Chopped Strands are designed for use in a variety of processes including compound molding, injection molding, and ceramic casting. |

3-dimensional fibreglass reinforcements, Nida-Fusion STO complexes are composed of a sheet of closed-cells foam covered with a reinforcing fibre layer on each side. These three elements are linked together by fiberglass bridging strands, which go through them obliquely, forming triangulations Truss Network.
For a very competitive price, Nida-Fusion STO complexes allow you to build sandwich constructions offering :
Very good flexural strength,
Excellent fatigue and delaminating resistance,
Good high temperature and fire resistance,
Shaped structures with thickness variations,
Excellent thermal insulation
Nida-Fusion STO is patented and is offered in 2 variations :
Nida-Fusion STO complexes made of rigid foam and used for the production of planar structures without thickness variation,
Nida-Fusion STF complexes made of flexible foam and used for shaped structures with thickness variation..
Nida-Fusion STO complexes can be tailored exactly to your needs (Foam, choice and weight of reinforcements, orientation and spacing of the triangulations), and are made to order.
