Nomex® and Kevlar® are two of the most trusted and innovative fiber brands in the industry, with more than 50 years of proven performance. These aramid fibers support a wide range of personal protection solutions, including turnout ensembles, firefighter particulate barrier hoods, station wear, and wildland gear.
Nomex® is a durable, flame resistant aramid fiber with inherent thermal protection that cannot be washed out or worn away. Nomex® Nano technologies help reduce exposure to harmful contaminants while maintaining the inherent flame resistance while increasing breathability and comfort. Kevlar® is an exceptionally strong, heat resistant aramid fiber, best known for its use in ballistic body armor and widely adopted across protective apparel due to its inherent thermal protection and outstanding strength to weight ratio.
Today, Nomex® and Kevlar® aramid fibers are part of Arclin, continuing a legacy of materials innovation originally developed at DuPont. Nomex and Kevlar are headquartered in Richmond, VA.
