Edge Kermel® Industrial FR Trouser

Description

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.

When exposed to very high temperatures and flames, Kermel® V50 and V70 fabric carbonises and thickens. This process increases the protective barrier between the heat source and the skin. Both the Kermel® and FR Viscose fibres are stable under high heat conditions and will not drip, melt or burn like ordinary synthetic uniform fabrics containing polyester or nylon. 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 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.
