Arc protection, Nomex® races against time for you!
In most industrial fields, many employees may be exposed to the threat of electric arc every day, such as power plant workers, electricians and related inspection and maintenance personnel. Even for non-power companies, switching equipment and switching operations are very common operations. Whether as an employee or a person in charge of an enterprise, it is necessary to clearly understand the hazards of arcs and the importance of protection.
What are the hazards of arcing?
Arc is a gas discharge phenomenon, the instantaneous spark generated by the current passing through some insulating medium (such as air). The arc usually lasts less than 1 second, but it can release huge radiant energy, and the core temperature can be as high as 20,000°C!
The generation of arc may burn materials and equipment, or cause electric leakage, ignite clothes and cause burns, and also bring many secondary hazards, such as high temperature gas, molten metal splashes, pressure waves, etc. In just a fraction of a second, the damage can range from burns to life-long damage, or even death from an explosion.
Choose Reliable Arc Protection Clothing
As a member of the Partnership for Electrical Safety (Electrical Safety Partnership), DuPont provides reliable flame-resistant and arc-resistant clothing, working to ensure that the thousands of people who work on energized electrical equipment are properly equipped and protected from arcing hazards. hazards.
Nomex® Arc Protection Fabrics not only provide the insulation and flame resistance of the trusted Nomex® brand, but also protect against electric arcs. Nomex® arc protection clothing protects against specified arc accident energy values and includes clothing, hoods, gloves, suits, and sometimes shoes. With full system protection, the possibility of making mistakes when selecting each gear individually is eliminated.
1. Intrinsic protection
Unlike other materials, Nomex® arc resistant fabric is inherently flame retardant and its arc protection properties will not wash off or wear away, making it strong, durable, low maintenance and cost effective.
2. Excellent comfort
Nomex® arc protective clothing is lightweight, soft, breathable, and provides superior comfort, providing reliable protection while allowing workers to work freely.
3. Trustworthy thermal protection tradition
Hazards are unpredictable, but Nomex® can be. For over 50 years, people doing the toughest jobs around the world have trusted Nomex® to provide the best heat protection on the market.
