A blended fabric, it is light and breathable. It incorporates Nomex fibre and retains its strength and durability through the use of DuPont Kevlar fibres. As a result, the fabric delivers durable multi-hazard protection in the mid-performance multi-hazard environment. 

Nomex MHP is engineered to absorb moisture and is said to dry faster than FR treated cotton, in addition to having lightweight properties that allow workers to stay comfortable. It offers a good fit for the garment’s life.

Frederique Favier, application development leader Nomex Personal Protection, said: “Nomex MHP is suitable for workers currently wearing garments made from FR cotton or simple modacrylic blends of fabric who are looking to make the first step in upgrading their protection level in the multi-hazard environment. Nomex MHP has also been designed to offer excellent wear-life cost”.

In addition to  wear trials, garments made from Nomex MHP fabric have been tested on DuPont Thermo-Man, one of the most advanced thermal burn injury evaluation devices in the world. The results demonstrate that Nomex MHP offers very low percentage body burn at 3, 4 and 5 second exposures, providing the wearer with a very high level of protection.
