FR Clothing Made with Nomex®
Protection, Comfort, Durability
People working the toughest industrial jobs around the world face the risk of fire hazards during every shift. That’s why they choose FR clothing made with Nomex® for proven protection and comfort.
DuPont™ Nomex® fiber helps flame resistant (FR) clothing protect industrial workers from the intense heat and flames of pool fires, flash fires and jet fires.
How does it work? Nomex® is a revolutionary, inherent heat- and flame-resistant fiber that reacts in a crisis. When exposed to extreme heat, Nomex® undergoes a special reaction, changing its properties to capture more energy in the fabric, giving the wearer valuable extra seconds of protection from heat transfer.
This heat and flame resistance is built into the Nomex® fiber it can’t be washed out or worn away.
As for comfort, FR clothing made with Nomex® features the lowest possible weight at the highest level of protection; breathability for reduced heat stress; and the ability to effectively wick away moisture.
Available in a wide range of colors and styles, Nomex® fiber helps FR clothing maintain its size and shape after repeated launderings for a professional appearance.
What, exactly, does NOMEX® fiber do?
This is how fast Arc Flash Could Happen...
Nomex® fiber from DuPont™ provides superior protection against thermal hazards.
Nomex® is an inherently flame-resistant, high-temperature resistant meta-aramid fiber that doesn’t melt and drip or support combustion in the air. A key factor in the protection provided by Nomex® is its ability to carbonize and thicken when exposed to intense heat creating a solid barrier between the flame and the skin. This typical reaction increases the protective barrier between the heat source and the wearer’s skin and minimizes burn injury, almost comparable to the way a modern car protects its occupants with air-bags.
This powerful barrier remains flexible until it cools down, providing those extra seconds of protection while still allowing mobility.
Nomex® Comfort is a heat and flame resistant fabric used in protective apparel. The heat and flame resistance is incorporated into the molecular structure of the fiber: the protection can’t be washed out or worn away, meaning that the Nomex® fiber is inherent and will last the entire life of the garment regardless of the number of washing cycles.
Besides of resisting extreme heat due to its innovative technology, protective garments made from Nomex® Comfort fabric absorb far less moisture than cellulosic fibers such as cotton and viscose, therefore, it can be dried much faster, which makes the user feel more comfortable.
