FAQs About Nomex Suits
Nomex suits, coveralls, hoods, and boots provide superior thermal protection, durability, and comfort in hazardous environments in which people might be exposed to fire, heat, and/or electrical hazards.

Below are frequently asked questions about Nomex suits for cleanrooms, labs, and manufacturing facilities.

What Are Nomex Suits
Nomex suits are specialized protective garments that are made out of Nomex, a flame-resistant, aramid fiber that was developed by DuPont (the same company that makes Tyvek products).

What Are Nomex Suits Made Of
Nomex suits are made from Nomex, an aramid fiber that’s inherently flame-resistant. Known as “aromatic polyamide,” aramid fiber is a lightweight synthetic fiber that’s known for its high strength and heat resistance.

What’s The Difference Between Nomex And Other Flame-Resistant Materials
Nomex material is inherently flame-resistant, with its protective properties built into the fiber itself, rather than applied as a chemical treatment. Even after repeated wear and washings, Nomex suits and garments retain their flame-resistant qualities.

What Are Nomex Suits Used For
Primarily used for protection from fire, heat, and electrical hazards, Nomex suits are used across a variety of applications and industries, including: cleanrooms, manufacturing and industrial operations, firefighting, oil and gas, electrical work, military, and emergency response.

How Do Nomex Suits Protect Against Fire And Heat
Because Nomex fibers are designed to resist ignition, and they won’t melt or drip, Nomex suits provide a thermal barrier that insulates the wearer.

Do Nomex Suits Protect Against Electric Arc Flashes
Tested to meet standards such as NFPA 70E, Nomex suits are commonly used for protection against electrical arc flash. In the event of an arc flash incident, the suits will help prevent or minimize burns.

Are Nomex Suits Comfortable To Wear
Designed to be lightweight, breathable, and flexible, Nomex suits are comfortable to wear. The moisture-wicking properties of the suits help keep wearers cool and dry.

Are Nomex Suits Available In Different Sizes
Nomex suits are available in a full range of sizes, from extra small to 5XL.

Are Other Nomex Garments Available
In addition to Nomex suits, we also have Nomex frocks, coveralls, hoods, boots, and gloves.

Are Nomex Suits Resistant to Chemicals
Nomex suits provide moderate protection against certain chemicals, but they are primarily designed for heat and flame protection.

What Are The Safety Standards On Nomex Suits
Nomex suits are designed to meet or exceed various safety standards, including NFPA 2112 for flame-resistant garments and NFPA 70E for electrical arc flash protection.

How Long Do Nomex Suits Last
The lifespan of a Nomex suit depends on the frequency of use, maintenance, and exposure to harsh conditions, but the suits are known for their durability.

Can Nomex Suits and Garments Be Washed And Reused
Highly durable, Nomex suits can be washed and reused without losing their flame-resistant properties. However, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.

Are Nomex Suits Worn Over Regular Clothing
Nomex suits are designed as outerwear, to be worn over regular clothing.

Who Makes Nomex Suits
DuPont produces the Nomex material, and different manufacturers buy Nomex fabric and produce protective clothing.

Nomex is a registered trademark of DuPont.
Tyvek is a registered trademark of DuPont.
