Nomex® fibre helps minimise break-open and maintains a stable, inert barrier between the fire and skin, helping protect the wearer from direct exposure. In the face of these hazards, Nomex® fibre helps fabric form a tough, protective char, staying supple until it cools. What’s more, Nomex® won’t melt or drip, unlike other fabrics that degrade and add the risk of melted material to the burn trauma.
