A short description about nomex fiber

1. Nomex Fiber

2. History
 Nomex is registered trademark for flam resistant meta aramid
material develop in the early 1960s by dupont and first
marked in 1967
 Wirlfred sweeny the dupont scientist responsible for
discoveries lesding to nomex earned a Dupont Lavoisier
medal partly for this work1n 2002
 It sold in both fiber and sheet forms and is used In a fabric
 Nomex sheet is a actually a calendered paper andmadein a
similar fashion and made in <USA>

3. Nomex Faiber
 INTRODUCTION
NOMEX is a long chain polyamide.
Is made from meta-phenylenediamine and
isophthaloyl chloride.
It is less rigid because the bends in the
polymer chain.
The polymer is spun into a fiber.
Nomex is also made into sheets of paper and
then formed into honeycomb shapes.
