Nomex fabrics for protective footwear

Technofabric: Custom production of Nomex fabrics

Nomex fabric is a type of aramid fiber created by DuPont in the 1960s. It is a special fabric that is heat and flame resistant, does not melt, drip or fuel combustion in the air. It is also used to create the specific protective clothing for firefighters, industrial workers, military aviators, motosport pilots, hospital gowns, filter bags for pollution control, and fabrics and mats for airplanes and ships. Nomex fabric is also used in industrial applications to create filters in exhaust gas filtration systems, typically in asphalt, cement, steel smelting, and nonferrous metal production plants.

Nomex has low stiffness and high stretchability, properties that give it fabric-like characteristics. This fabric also features low shrinkability and can also be dyed. Nomex fabric is produced and sold in paper, felt, woven, and fiber forms.

The main characteristics of Nomex fabrics for protective footwear are:

Nomex fabric is an ideal material for making protective footwear for work environments characterized by intense heat and flame. It is a fabric that does not burn, deform or promote fire when exposed to air. The fabric has exceptional heat resistance, able to withstand up to 370°C without losing its qualities. At the same time, it is a lightweight, breathable and comfortable fabric that conforms well to the shape of the foot and provides an experience similar to that of natural fabrics.

Nomex can be customized with dyes, prints or embroidery to add distinctive logos and symbols. It is also a very durable material that retains its protective properties even after many washes and uses.

The fire resistance of Nomex fabric cannot be eliminated by washing or wear and tear. It also offers good protection against other hazards found in work environments, such as electrical arcs, thermal radiation, corrosive chemicals, and mechanical abrasion. And it possesses characteristics of low electrical conductivity and good tensile strength.

Nomex protective footwear is used in a variety of industries, such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, metallurgy, electric power, transportation and utilities. They are ideal for workers who face risks of fire, explosion, electric arc or contact with hot or flammable substances.
