In the line of fire, you can rest assured knowing that the Nomex fibres in your PPE can withstand the heat.
Know your Nomex®
Nomex® is an innovative heat- and flame-resistant fibre that, when exposed to extreme heat, undergoes a unique reaction. It changes its properties to capture more energy in a fabric made from it, giving the wearer extra injury-preventing seconds of protection from heat transfer. This heat-shielding characteristic is built into the Nomex® fibres, preventing it from being worn away or washed out.
Tried and Tested by Fire
Sweet-Orr places our trust in as it undergoes more than just basic testing methods. In fact, garments made from these fibres go through a rigorous series of fire scenarios that simulate real-life situations. And they’ve come out scorch-free each and every time. Now, that’s high performance. Nomex® protects workers from the intense heat and flames of pool fires, bleve fires, flash fires and jet fires.
Nomex®. No Fuss. No Sweat.
First protection. Then durability. And last, but not least, comfort. Fire-retardant PPE made with Nomex® features the lowest possible weight at the highest level of protection. In addition, these fibres are breathable for reduced heat stress; and the effective wicking away of moisture.
Nomex® fiber also reduces maintenance as it helps fire-retardant clothing maintain its size and shape after repeated washes. So your workers will look professional, even in times of duress.
