DuPont™ Nomex® fiber helps flame resistant (FR) clothing protect industrial workers from the intense heat and flames of pool fires, bleve 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.
