Nomex® Aramid Fiber Ropes

Nomex® fiber is an aromatic polyamide (aramid) fiber and can be used in Military and Industrial Applications. Nomex® excels in performance areas such as flame resistance and thermal protection. Its thermal technology resists the hazards associated with electric arcs and flash fires-including intense heat and flame. Nomex® is engineered to stand up to flame temperatures in excess of 2000 ºF. Unlike flame-retardant treated materials, Nomex® fibers are inherently flame resistant and will not diminish during the life of the fiber. The fibers low stiffness and high elongation give it textile-like characteristics.

In addition to its flame resistance, Nomex® fiber offers dimensional stability and resistance to degradation by a wide range of chemicals and industrial solvents. It shows no embrittlement or degradation at cryogenic conditions (temperatures as low as -320 ºF).
