The Nomex® DuPontTM fibers are revolutionary heat- and flame-resistant fibers, which are incorporated in certain materials of military and police gloves. The fibers help to save the lives of those who protect our way of life and provide high comfort and minimum weight at highest protection level.
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. Aramid fibers do not melt at high temperatures; instead, they start to coke at temperatures of approximately 400°C.
