and is a member of the meta-aramid family . A polyamide-imide polymer is a molecular structure , which is naturally thermostable and fireproof , which
means that its temperature does not change , that it is inflammable and that it is heat-resistant . It can be used constantly in average temperatures of 200 ° C . It doesn ' t start to change until it exceeds 400 ° C and even offers maximum protection for a few seconds against very high temperatures ( up to 1,000 ° C ). The fibre ' s thermo-stability properties mean it offers great thermal insulation . The fibre does not change temperature in external conditions or on contact with the body , which means body temperature is balanced . As the fibre is unchangeable , its structure does not change under the effect of a liquid . It is therefore non-absorbent , does not retain moisture and dries quickly in the open air . In terms of undergarment manufacture , Kermel fibre has a smooth surface and is similar to wearing cotton , which gives it a soft , silky touch . It has great flexibility and resistance , which makes it a highly stretchable material . www . skeed . eu
