What Is Nomex?

Nomex® is the brand name for a heat and fire resistant fabric that is often found in the rally industry from rally suits to race gloves its widely used. Its technical name is "Synthetic aromatic polyamide polymer" But who's going to remember all that! 

What makes Nomex fireproof?
Nomex has some great properties and qualities that make it the perfect material for rally car drivers. Although it does actually burn when you hold a flame up to it, it will stop burning as soon as a heat source is removed. It takes time for heat to travel through Nomex due to its thick woven structure of synthetic fibres and hopefully by the time that happens, you will be away from the heat source. 

Nomex really does make a great fabric for use in many items of clothing
