The protection that every hero deserves

 
 
 

Day in and day out, PPE made with DuPont™ Nomex® fiber helps protect those who put their lives on the line—providing extra seconds of protection from heat transfer.

From firefighters to first responders, Nomex® helps manufacturers provide superior and comfortable—enabling the lowest possible weight at the highest level of protection. The inherent heat and flame protection of Nomex® fibers cannot be washed or worn away. And, with its higher air permeability, Nomex® can also help reduce heat stress. 

Those who dedicate their lives to protecting ours deserve the best protection available. That’s why we continue to collaborate with firefighters, first responders and garment manufacturers to develop innovations that help improve overall safety.

Innovating to protect. Donating to honor

DuPont is committed to the development of safer FR apparel solutions and dedicated to preserving the memory of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice as a proud donor to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF).
