NOMEX®
Nomex® nylon was developed and registered by the E.I. DuPont Company for applications requiring good dimensional stability and excellent heat resistance. Nomex® nylon can be used at temperatures at which other fibers melt, and unlike glass, it is resistant to fluorides and has good abrasion and flex resistance. It has a wide range of filtration applications, including the cement industry, carbon black, non-ferrous metals and steel.

Heat Resistance: Nomex® nylon does not melt, but at temperatures above 700°F degradation sets in rapidly. In dry heat, up to and including 450°F, this fiber may be used satisfactorily, as long as there is no acid dew point problem. Small amounts of water vapor at elevated temperature have little or no effect on Nomex® nylon. At elevated temperatures and intimate contact with water or saturated steam, Nomex® nylon exhibits a progressive loss in strength. However, it withstands these conditions much better than many other fibers.

HEAT RESISTANCE: 700°F

Chemical Resistance

Acids		Withstands both mineral and organic acids well, but not as well as polyester.

Alkalis		Excellent resistance to alkalis at room temperature (better than polyester) but degraded by strong alkalis at elevated temperatures.

Oxidizing Agents		Nomex® nylon is degraded by oxidizing agents.

Organic Solvents		Highly resistant to most hydrocarbons and many other organic solvents.
