DuPont® Nomex®: A Life-Saving Protective Barrier

Nomex® Protective Apparel is inherently flame resistant. The actual structure of the fiber itself is not flammable, which means the protection is permanent. The protection is built into the fiber itself and can never be worn away or washed out. When exposed to flame, the aramid fiber swells and becomes thicker, forming a protective barrier between the heat source and the skin. This protective barrier stays supple until it cools, giving the wearer vital extra seconds of protection to escape.
DuPont® Nomex®: Flame Resistant and Long-Lasting

DuPont® Nomex® combines inherent flame resistance with long-lasting durability, and this adds up to an excellent value. The actual structure of the Nomex fiber itself is not flammable. It will not burn, drip or melt under high heat. These flame-resistant properties are permanent. They can’t be washed out, and they won’t wear away. Add in the fact that Nomex® Protective Apparel is extremely durable and lasts three to five times longer than conventional or chemically dependent garments, and you can see what a great value Nomex represents. In fact, industrial launderers estimate that Nomex® Protective Apparel can be washed and worn more than 125 times.

Nomex®, the inherently flame-resistant and self-extinguishing fabric from DuPont®, represents an excellent value, and over time, proves to be more cost-effective than other protective fabrics. Nomex has outstanding wear life, which over the life of the garment can save you money. In fact, Nomex is so durable, it will last three to five times longer than conventional or chemically dependent garments. Industrial launderers estimate that Nomex® Protective Apparel can be washed and worn more than 125 times.

Any worker who may be exposed to flash fire or arc flash should consider wearing Nomex® Protective Apparel. Clothing made of Nomex is inherently flame-resistant and self-extinguishing, and because the actual structure of the fiber itself will not burn, Nomex’s flame-resistant properties are permanent. They will never wear away or wash out. Nomex will not burn, melt or drip under high heat. If you are exposed to a flash fire or electric arc, Nomex® Protective Apparel can help save your life.

DuPont® Nomex® fabric is inherently flame-resistant and self-extinguishing. It will not burn, melt or drip under high heat. Although every fabric, if exposed to an arc of sufficient intensity, will break open, Nomex resists break open far better than other fabrics, remaining intact longer to provide the protective barrier needed to give the wearer time to escape a dangerous situation. If you are exposed to a flash fire or electric arc, Nomex® Protective Apparel can potentially save your life.

An inherently flame-resistant fabric like Nomex does not have to be uncomfortable to wear. While Nomex is inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing, and will not burn, melt or drip under high heat, it is as lightweight and comfortable to wear as other work clothes. Nomex offers breathability in everyday use, and is now made with finishes that wick and let moisture escape and evaporate, helping to keep the wearer cool and dry.

Nomex Protective Apparel is inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing. This means that the protection Nomex provides is permanent and can never wash out or be worn away. This is due to the fact that the actual structure of the aramid fiber itself is not flammable. In fact, Nomex will not burn, drip or melt under high heat. It also offers excellent chemical resistance, and it’s engineered to reduce nuisance static.

Nomex is a durable high-temperature aramid fiber manufactured by DuPont®. It is inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing, meaning that the actual structure of the fiber itself will not burn. Since the protective nature of the fabric is built into the fiber itself, it will never wear away or wash out, so Nomex’s flame-resistant properties are permanent. Nomex will not burn, melt or drip under high heat. It offers excellent chemical resistance, and it’s engineered to reduce nuisance static.
