Fire retardant Nomex fabrics for protective gloves
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 fire retardant Nomex fabrics for protective gloves are:
Nomex for the production of protective gloves for work environments with intense heat and flame is a technical fabric that 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.
It is a lightweight fabric that is breathable and comfortable to wear. It has low stiffness and high stretchability, giving it characteristics similar to those of natural fabrics.
Nomex technical apparel can be customized in various thicknesses and weights, depending on the needs of different industries and safety regulations. It can be dyed in various colors, printed or embroidered with logos and symbols.
It is a durable fabric and retains its protective properties even after numerous washes and uses. The fire resistance provided by Nomex fabric cannot be washed or worn away.
It also offers good protection against electrical arcing, thermal radiation, corrosive chemicals and mechanical abrasion. It has low electrical conductivity and good tensile strength.
It is used to make protective gloves for various industries, such as firefighters, industrial workers, military aviators, race pilots, hospital gowns, pollution control filter bags, textiles and carpets for airplanes and ships.
