Nomex

Fixed temperature range -60°C – 240°C

Description:

Nomex is a brand made of Nomex fiber. Developed and treated for braids to withstand high temperatures. Used especially for mechanical protection of cables at high temperatures.

product description:

The product is produced in diameters of 2 to 30 mm.

Code:

color code

Standard: olive green – 5, white – 9.

Other colors and two colors – upon request.

Series:

Series 4000 and Series 3100 are made from decitex 220 fibers in olive green or white.

Flammability, generation of smoke and exhaust gases:

The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of Nomex is about 28.

Therefore, when exposed to a flame at room temperature in a normal air composition, Nomex will not continue to burn when the flame is removed.

At temperatures above about 800°F (427°C), nomex carbonizes and forms a hard lump of coal.

The composition and quantity of the exhaust gases varies according to the heating rate, the presence of oxygen and other factors. Combustion of Nomex fibers produces combustion products similar to those of wood, wool, cotton, polyester and acrylic materials. At the combustion temperature, nomex emits carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and sometimes traces of hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides can be detected.

Under less severe heating conditions, Nomax decomposes very slowly and forms small amounts of a wide variety of organic compounds. The compounds may include carbon dioxide, acetone, acetamide, acetaldehyde, benzene, butane and many other compounds in minimal concentrations depending on the exposure conditions.
