Nomex fabrics for helmets and hard-hats

Technofabric: Custom production of Nomex fabrics

Nomex fabric is a special material made of aramid fibers that was developed by DuPont in the 1960s. It has the remarkable property of being resistant to heat and fire, without melting, dripping or burning in the air. Nomex fabric is widely used for making protective clothing for various sectors, such as firefighters, industrial workers, military aviators, motosport pilots, hospital gowns, and more. Nomex fabric also has applications in pollution control, as it can filter exhaust gases in different industrial plants, such as asphalt, cement, steel smelting, and nonferrous metal production.

Nomex fabric has a low stiffness and a high stretchability, which make it similar to natural fabrics. It also has a low shrinkability and can be dyed in different colours. Nomex fabric comes in different forms, such as paper, felt, woven, and fiber.

The main characteristics of Nomex fabrics for helmets and hard-hats are:

Nomex fabric is a perfect material for the production of hard hats and protective helmets for work environments characterised by intense heat and flames. Nomex is a fabric that does not burn, warp or promote fire when exposed to air. It 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 head and offers a feel 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. This aramid fabric also offers good protection against other hazards found in work environments, such as electrical arcs, thermal radiation, corrosive chemicals, and mechanical abrasion. And it has low electrical conductivity and good tensile strength.

Hard hats and protective helmets with this fabric produced by Technofabric are used in various industries, such as oil and gas, chemical production, metallurgy, electric power, transportation and utilities. They are ideal for workers facing risks of fire, explosion, electric arc or contact with hot or flammable substances.

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.
