Workers using Kermel Alpha also get basic protection against electric arc, for the fabric also complies with ENV 50354, Class 1 stan- dards. Comfort is compatible with low- shrinkage properties, offering users the very best solution. The fabric also gives efficient protection against most chemicals, even at high con- centrations, as is the case with spills or splashes. The new product by Kermel is defined by Jerome Heil as “a radical innovation in pro- tective clothing for industrial workers, pro- tecting against heat and flames, with unprecedented comfort. Kermel Alpha is a development representing the most advanced stages in ongoing research and development, in collaboration with clients, while seeking to improve the effectiveness of barriers in protective clothing for the indus- trial sector”. • X50 fabric The new Kermel X50 offers higher protec- tion and performance levels, with lower shrinkage and tear incidents after being subjected to flashover simulations. This means higher protection levels for fire fight- ers, avoiding second-degree burns. Even after exposed to radiant heat and intensive washing at high temperatures X50 retained its integrity, offering excep- tional thermal protection, sturdiness and durability. Trevor Inglis said, “The new X50 represents a major step ahead in developments and technology devised to protect fire fighters. X50 means unprecedented performance, fast colours, no peeling and long-lasting protection. As all Kermel fabrics X50 is non- flammable, with low thermal conductivity and acts as an exceptionally effective ther- mal barrier”. This fabric is also highly resistant to tears, and has dimensional stability while resist- ing chemicals. Smooth Kermel fibres guar- antee comfort without compromising safe- ty. The fabric is durable. As opposed to other fabrics available in the marketplace X50 will perfectly resist repeat- ed washing, as it will not shrink or peel dur- ing washing or drying, even when washed or cleaned at high temperatures. The new fabric by Kermel is available in five colours: grey, gold, burgundy, brown and olive green. Smooth and comfortable it remains elastic and resistant against abra- sion. Clothes are durable and care instruc- tions are simple. PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
