The fibre Kermel® is used in fire fighters' turn-out gears and station wears, special uniforms for military pilots and tank forces, operational uniforms for the police force, and work clothing in high-risk industries (petro-chemical, iron and steel, glassworks, electrical, ...).

With its new Kermel® Tech fibre, the Company is extending its business to new technical applications for the industrial sector, in particular to the manufacture of hot gas filters, electrical insulation papers or printed circuits.
