Featuring NOMEX® aramid fibers - A trusted source of protection worldwide
Featuring NOMEX® fibers with "built-in" protection from flame
and heat. When exposed to flame, the NOMEX® 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 seconds of protection to escape without serious injury. NOMEX®-based
protective apparel is worn by fire-fighters, petrochemical workers, military
personnel and many other professionals.
