What is Nomex Flame Retardant Fiber?

Nomex is a meta-aramid, also known as aramid 1313. Features are good heat resistance and high strength.The material properties can be stable for a long time at the temperature of 250 ° C.

Nomex flame retardant fiber’s oxygen limit index is 28, with a high decomposition temperature, and high temperature conditions will not melt. Nomex has good thermal stability and its strength remains at 65% of its original strength after 100 hours of continuous use at 260 ° C. At a high temperature of 304 ° C for 7 days, still maintain 50% of the original strength. Nomex also has excellent chemical resistance, that is, acid and alkali, oxidants and organic solvents. Its excellent resistance to radiation, in a certain intensity of ultraviolet radiation and Y-ray irradiation, its strength is almost no loss.

Nomex IIIA has two kinds of color of white silk and dope dyer. Recently it is used in the industrial flame retardant clothing, anti-arc clothing, fire clothes, racing suits and welding and furnace.
