Prevents burns
July 1st 2009 DuPont has completed a planned
expansion for Nomex with the
successful start up of a new
production unit at its facility in
Asturias, Spain. This expansion is the
final step in a three-phase plan to
increase worldwide capacity for
Nomex, including production in
Virgina, USA and at a DuPont joint
venture in Japan.
Nomex, used in protective apparel,
helps prevent burn injury across a
diverse range of applications in the
industrial, emergency response and
military sectors. It is an inherently
flame-resistant, high-temperature
fibre that will not melt, drip or
support combustion in air. More articles from Dupont Personal Protection: |
