Fiber for protective clothing KERMEL

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.
