For more than thirty years, Kermel® fibre has had tremendous success in providing innovative solutions for firefighter 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 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 clothing made from Kermel® aramid fibre thus offers maximum protection at very high temperatures (up to 1,000°C), contrary to protective 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® aramid 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.
