Nomex By: Michael Liles

What is Nomex Nomex fiber is a member of the aramid family of fibers, and is similar in appearance to nylon Used in applications requiring good textile properties, good dimensional stability and excellent heat resistance. Nomex is a synthetic aromatic polyamide polymer that offers high levels of electrical, chemical and mechanical integrity.

Uses Electrical Insulation –extend the life of electrical equipment. –transformers, motors, generators and other electrical equipment. Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries –construction of boats – provide buoyancy that enhances speed. –aircraft parts- tail-fins, engine nacelles and helicopter blades. Asphalt facilities – Hot gas filter bags –Lower power cost, Protective clothing –firefighters, industrial workers, racecar drivers, military flight suits high temperature hoses Heat shields

Reasons to choose Nomex Multi-Climate Protection System (Rain, Snow, Fire) Flame resistant up to 200°С, thermal protection, comfortable and durable, chemical resistance Fabrics are practical and colorful High mechanical strength (unrivalled strength-to- weight ratio) and light weight honeycomb sandwich composite structures which are cost effective. The flammability characteristics of fabrics woven of Nomex fibers do not change with laundering. Exhibit a higher resistance to beta and gamma radiation, to X-rays, and to water or steam at high temperatures
