Nomex® sheet structures are used as heat shields, as well as insulation shields for spark plug leads. Other under-the hood applications where Nomex® helps provide value include flexible, high-temperature hoses, such as those feeding hot air to inlet manifolds. Inside automobiles, Nomex® helps engine bays from overheating, radiator hoses from bursting, and windshield wipers from failing, even in inclement weather conditions.
Nomex® is the product of choice in a wide range of high-temperature filtration applications. Filter bags of Nomex® are an industry leader in asphalt manufacturing facilities, as well as a variety of other applications. These filter bags permit facilities to operate at higher temperatures, significantly improving capacity, and helps to lower power costs and eliminate condensation.
For more than 30 years, the transportation industry has embraced Nomex® honeycomb for its unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio, which helps to provide vital cost-effective benefits like energy savings and payload increases. Stiff, thin Nomex® sheet structures are used to make extremely strong, yet lightweight honeycomb sandwich composite structures found in aircraft parts such as tail-fins, engine nacelles and helicopter blades. Nomex® honeycomb is also used in the construction of boats to provide buoyancy that enhances speed.
