More than 40 years after it was first developed, DuPont™ Nomex® fibre is still a first choice for fire brigades, police, military and industrial workers who rely on its inherently flame-resistant properties to help keep them safe from the everyday hazards they face.
A unique label on the interior of the garment identifies the supplier as a Nomex® Partner. In Europe, Nomex® Partners have privileged access to DuPont fibre and fabric innovation, technical expertise and leading edge product testing facilities, including Thermo-Man® and Arc-Man® rigs that help enable them to monitor quality and performance of their finished garments.
The DuPont™ Thermo-Man® life-size mannequin burn simulation test ensures garment’s protective performance and integrity against heat and flame.
The DuPont™ Arc-Man® test and ATPV evaluation test garment’s protective performance and integrity against the thermal hazards of an electric arc.
Garments that have passed the stringent Thermo-Man® and/or Arc-Man® tests have the corresponding icons displayed on this inside label.
