More Info on DuPont Personal Protection

DuPont is committed to protecting people. From first responders to industrial workers, DuPont provides protective apparel solutions to meet your safety needs. DuPont Personal Protection offers a wide range of proven, science-based solutions including some of the most trusted brands in the industry: Tyvek® for dry particulate hazards; Tychem® for liquid and gas chemical hazards; Nomex® and Protera® for thermal hazards and Kevlar® for cut and abrasion protection.Firefighters and emergency personnel around the world rely on turnout gear, EMS wear, Stationwear and accessories made of Nomex® and Kevlar® brand fibers. Unlike other materials and fibers available to firefighters and emergency service personnel, garments and accessories made of Nomex® are inherently flame-resistant and won't melt, drip or support combustion in the air. And, the thermal protection offered by Nomex® is permanent - its superior flame resistance cannot be washed out or worn away.DuPont™ Kevlar® enhances the overall durability and strength of lightweight turnout gear outershell and thermal liner systems. Kevlar®, when woven into Nomex® or used with another blend such as PBI, further enhances tear strength and abrasion resistance of outershells and thermal liners.
