DuPont® Nomex® fabric is inherently flame-resistant and self-extinguishing. What does this mean? It means that the actual structure of the Nomex fiber itself is not flammable. It will not burn, drip or melt under high heat. The flame-resistant properties of Nomex can’t be washed out, and they won’t wear away. Nomex will remain flame-resistant for the entire life of the garment. Clothing made of Nomex provides protection against flash fire, giving the wearer time to escape from a hazardous situation, reducing the potential for burn injury.

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.
