Edge Kermel® Industrial FR Shirt

Description

Design and construction of industrial safety clothing is paramount. Comfort is essential since a garment is worn all day long whilst the worker is performing his job. An uncomfortable garment can increase risks - if the garment is too hot, the worker will roll up his sleeves or open his collar resulting in reduced protection. Comfort therefore has a direct relationship to productivity, as a comfortable worker will perform his duties more effectively. Kermel® V50 and V70 blends deliver on all fronts when it comes to worker FR safety and comfort, which is why Kermel® 100% and Kermel® blends have developed a reputation for being one of the world's renowned premium FR textiles.

Kermel® is a high technological polyamide-imide fibre which has very high resistance to abrasion, exceptional thermal insulation against radiant heat, is thermo stable, has thermal conductivity twice as low as any other aramid fibre and is inherently non-flammable, a permanent characteristic of its chemical structure. Kermel® is classified in the same Aramid family as Nomex®. It is also anti static and has an excellent resistance to chemicals including cold acid and dilute alkali attacks. This makes it particularly useful where acid splashing is a major hazard. It also resists most solvents, chlorine bleach, detergents and water vapour. Kermel® is solution-dyed during the manufacturing process for lifelong colour fastness including UV light and washing. Kermel® does not pill, which means garments continue to look good as new for a long time.

Kermel® is a smooth-surfaced fibre with an almost circular cross section. Its shape, combined with its chemistry, makes it as soft and comfortable as cotton. Blended with FR Viscose, it is the most comfortable permanently FR fabric available. Kermel® fibre and its blends are used in heat and fire protective clothing for fire brigades, military, police, chemical and petrochemical sectors, electric utilities and industrial applications worldwide.
