Nomex

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
