Fire resistant knitwear in Kermel
Non flammable Kermel® fiber, well-known for its suppleness and its "textile" touch for an aramid fiber, is of course used in a very wide range of fire and flame resistant knits worn in direct contact with skin:
- flash-hoods,
- underwear,
- functional knits, double sided (sweat evacuation),
- polos,
- t-shirts,
- sweaters,
- or any other knitted article.
Any knitting technology can be applied to yarns made out of fire and flame resistant Kermel® fibers, in 100% or in blends :
Kermel V50 (50% Kermel®, 50% Lenzing FR), Kermel V70 (70% Kermel®, 30% Lenzing FR) or Kermel / Wood / FR viscose.
For those applications, KERMEL recommends the use of its 1,1 dtex fine fiber. KERMEL is currently running wearer trials with its Kermel® micro 1,1 dtex fiber, offering increased comfort with lighter weights.
