Nomex® is an inherently heat and flame-resistant fiber that won’t melt, drip or support combustion providing a superior barrier between for what’s inside from the hazards around it.

Nomex is a trademarked term for an inherently flame-resistant fabric with meta-aramid chemistry widely used for industrial applications and fire protection equipment. It was developed in the early 1960s by DuPont and first marketed in 1967.

Nomex® is a DuPont registered trademark for its family of aromatic polyamide (aramid) fibers. This family consists of staple fibers, continuous filament yarns, paper and spunlaced fabrics.

Dec 24, 2021 · Nomex, made into the form of a paper sheet or board, is a superb insulating material for all kinds of electrical equipment, from motors and generators to transformers and other electrical equipment. For these applications, Nomex is often laminated with Mylar® (polyester film) to make a stronger, tougher insulating material that works at high ...

DuPont™ Nomex® fibers are heat- and flame-resistant, and are used in protective fabrics, garments, insulation, and other high-performance applications to help provide protection to millions of people and processes worldwide.

So for hazards like flash fire and pool fire, DuPont created Nomex® III A. A blend of 93% Nomex® with 5% Kevlar® and 2% antistatic fiber, this innovative fabric helps minimize break-open, and expands to form a stable and inert barrier between the fire and skin.

Sep 21, 2022 · Meta-aramids, as Nomex®, are known for their temperature, chemical (though this can vary with specific substances), and abrasion resistance. They have a tenacity of about 5.6g/den (grams /denier) and can withstand stress during fire exposure and high temperatures.

Nomex ® fiber is a member of the aramid family of fibers and is similar in appearance to nylon. Fabrics woven of Nomex ® fibers are used in applications requiring good textile properties, good dimensional stability, and excellent heat resistance.

DuPont™ Nomex® is an incredibly durable, inherently flame-resistant meta-aramid fiber. The unique chemical structure of Nomex® fibers is non-flammable so performance is built in and it can’t be washed or worn away.

Warwick specializes in ultra-lightweight Nomex® fabrics, in weights as low as 1.5 ounces per square yard. We have the ability to run standard Nomex® III and a unique capability to run 100% Kevlar® in a dyeable format.
