DuPont Personal Protection offers a wide range of proven, science-based solutions including some of the most trusted brands in the industry: Tyvek® for dry particulate hazards; Tychem® for liquid and gas chemical hazards; Nomex® and Protera® for thermal hazards and Kevlar® for cut and abrasion protection.Firefighters and emergency personnel around the world rely on turnout gear, EMS wear, Stationwear and accessories made of Nomex® and Kevlar® brand fibers. Unlike other materials and fibers available to firefighters and emergency service personnel, garments and accessories made of Nomex® are inherently flame-resistant and won't melt, drip or support combustion in the air. And, the thermal protection offered by Nomex® is permanent - its superior flame resistance cannot be washed out or worn away.DuPont™ Kevlar® enhances the overall durability and strength of lightweight turnout gear outershell and thermal liner systems. Kevlar®, when woven into Nomex® or used with another blend such as PBI, further enhances tear strength and abrasion resistance of outershells and thermal liners.
