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.
Safety workwear: Protection and Comfort
When working in dangerous environments where the possibility of injury from heat, flames, chemicals and electrical arcs is a daily reality, safety workwear made of Kermel aramid fibres are your best defense.
Because protection and comfort requirements vary from one situation to another, Kermel® exists in a complete range of textile solutions meeting all prevailing requirements and non-flam standards.
All industrial protective clothing in the range are permanently non-flammable: all safety workwear associated with Kermel® aramid fibres are therefore considered to be non-flam throughout the service life of the clothing.
Thus, no subsequent flame-retardant treatment is required on Kermel industrial protective clothing.
This provides individuals wearing Kermel® fibre protective clothing optimum protection in all industrial and chemical hazardous situations.
All Kermel® safety workwear complies with the requirements of limited flame propagation (EN 533-S74-524 standard) and with heat transmission performance levels.
