DUPONT BRANDS
Best known for its use in ballistic and stab-resistant body armor, Kevlar® brand aramid fiber is credited with helping to save thousands of lives. Lightweight and extraordinarily strong, it’s used to make a variety of clothing, accessories, and equipment safer, more cut-resistant and durable.
Whenever thermal protection is needed, only one fiber comes to mind — Nomex®. For over 40 years, professionals exposed to fire hazards have relied on the inherently flame-resistant properties of Nomex® fiber to help keep them safe on the job. Nomex® is also used for its outstanding heat resistance in mass transit systems, wind energy equipment, transformers and filtration.
Garments made of DuPont™ ProShield® help provide protection against non-hazardous exposures. Learn how affordable and practical ProShield® garments can be used to help protect against non-hazardous dry particle and light liquid splash applications.
Not all deadly threats come in the form of guns or other weapons. For protection against chemical dangers, industrial workers rely on DuPont™ Tychem® brand garments.
Workers who deal with hazardous substances need confidence in their protective apparel. DuPont™ Tyvek® fabric used in Tyvek® protective apparel is engineered to typically resist particles down to 1 micron in size, including particles such as lead, asbestos, and mould, and helps provide a barrier against many water-based liquid chemicals in low concentration and biological hazards.
