Nomex fabrics for hi-fi speakers

Technofabric: Custom production of Nomex fabrics

Nomex fabric is a unique material that consists of aramid fibers, which are a type of synthetic polymer that DuPont invented in the 1960s. One of the main features of Nomex fabric is its ability to withstand high temperatures and flames, without melting, dripping or catching fire in the air. This makes Nomex fabric suitable for creating protective clothing for various sectors that face thermal hazards, such as firefighters, industrial workers, military aviators, motosport pilots, hospital gowns, and others. Nomex fabric also helps to reduce environmental pollution, as it can filter out harmful exhaust gases in different industrial plants that deal with hot processes, such as asphalt, cement, steel smelting, and nonferrous metal production. Nomex fabric has a flexible and elastic structure, which gives it a similar feel to natural fabrics. Nomex fabric is available in different forms, such as paper, felt, woven, and fiber.

The industrial processing of Nomex fabric involves several steps, depending on the form and the end use of the product. For example, to produce Nomex paper, the fibers are first dissolved in a solvent and then extruded into a thin film. The film is then dried and calendered to achieve the desired thickness and smoothness. The paper can then be cut into sheets or rolls for further applications1. To produce Nomex felt, the fibers are first carded and cross-lapped to form a web. The web is then needled to interlock the fibers and increase the density. The felt can then be treated with various finishes to enhance its properties. To produce Nomex woven fabric, the fibers are first spun into yarns and then woven into different patterns and textures. The woven fabric can then be dyed, printed or embroidered with logos and symbols. To produce Nomex fiber, the fibers are first cut into short lengths and then crimped to increase their bulkiness. The fiber can then be used for filling or blending with other fibers.

The main characteristics of Nomex fabrics for hi-fi speakers are:

Nomex fabric is heat and flame resistant, does not melt, drip or fuel combustion in the air. It can withstand temperatures up to 370°C without degrading.

Nomex is lightweight, breathable and comfortable to wear. It has low stiffness and high stretchability, giving it characteristics similar to those of natural fabrics.

It has good mechanical and acoustic resistance, enabling it to withstand vibration and stress generated by sound. It also has good tensile strength and deformation resistance.

Nomex has low electrical conductivity and good weather resistance, enabling it to avoid short circuits or damage caused by moisture or dust.

Nomex fabric is used in the manufacture of loudspeakers in the part of the speaker cone, which is the membrane that moves in response to the electrical signal and produces sound. Nomex fabric is used to reinforce the cone and improve its sound performance. Nomex fabric can be combined with other materials, such as paper, polypropylene, carbon, or Kevlar, to create cones of different shapes, sizes, and qualities. Nomex fabric can also be used to create surrounds, which are the flexible edges that connect the cone to the speaker structure and allow it to move.

Nomex is a special fabric that resists heat and flames without melting, dripping or burning in the air. It is used to create protective clothing for various industries, such as racing, firefighters, military, industrial workers and others. Nomex is also used for industrial applications such as filters, conveyor belts, rubber membranes, thermal blankets, and loudspeakers. Nomex has characteristics similar to natural fabrics, such as low stiffness, high stretchability, low shrinkability, and the ability to be dyed. Nomex is produced and sold in different forms, such as paper, felt, fabric, and fiber.

Technofabric is a company that operates in the textile industry, specializing in the production of a wide range of fabrics. Their key differentiator is their vertical integration, which means they have control over the entire production process, from yarn production to the creation of finished fabrics. This allows them to maintain high-quality standards and deliver customized solutions to their clients.
