[edit]

nomex is a intresting material cause if it can keep a snakes powerful jaws from going through and fire from burning you that is amazing and keeps your balls safe.

Two things. The "hood" drivers use is called a balaclava. And all professional race classes, from pro drag racing to NASCAR to CART to F1, use fireproof driving suits; the top ranks, like F1, require pit crews to use them, too (in case of pitlane fire). trekphiler, 0949 1 June 2006


Nomex is also used extensively in oil field PPE, maybe you should add something to that effect in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.136.114.151 (talk) 02:46, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

[edit]

Should this article's name be NOMEX or Nomex? The usage within the article seems ambidextrous, though that could be from many cooks in the kitchen. —EncMstr 23:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proper term, from the official site is NOMEX statsone 03:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's irrelevant. WP:MOS-TM dictates that unless "NOMEX" is an acronym, its usage on Wikipedia should be "Nomex".--chris.lawson 18:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have posted a comment on the WP:MOS-TM discussion page as the example given is not very good. Using this logic, IBM should be used as Ibm. statsone 05:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Also

[edit]

I have added a "See Also"" section, with various related articles within Wikipedia. --Robin63 07:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Phoebe links to a disambiguation page; has there been a related page which was removed or where should it go to? Greyer (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed this link, as there is no obvious place it should link to from the disambig page. Evand (talk) 14:04, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nomex Date.

[edit]

Historical Army reference[1] indicates that NOMEX is a product developed in the 1960s not the 1970s as the article states. This would agree with the Aramid article. --Born2flie 13:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason this should be part of the class? --statsone 05:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Simpson Suit"

[edit]

I've been in the racing safety industry for ten years and have never once heard of a fire suit called a "Simpson Suit". Simpson makes suits but its far from a Genericized trademark. I am removing the reference. Scottanon (talk) 16:17, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nomex Increasing Frequencies?

[edit]

I see that the article contains the phrase "increases mid- and low-level frequency sound." I would like someone explain how a passive material is able to increase mid- and low-level frequency sound. Absorbing a frequency I can understand.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Analyzing (talkcontribs) 05:18, 17 Feb 2009

Nomex available in 1966

[edit]

Nomex was being marketed for ironing board covers in 1966 - see: Aberdeen Daily News, May 26, 1966, Page 10. Rupertlt (talk) 23:55, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomex and Sound Frequency Interaction

[edit]

The article says, "Nomex reflects high-frequency sound," This statement needs clarification. if Nomex REFLECTS high-freq, that suggests that as the surface of a wall in a music hall, Nomex would enhance high frequencies. If it enhanced high frequencies, the result would seem to be at the expense of mid & low frequencies. But the statement says in full, "Nomex reflects high-frequency sound,[sic] and increases mid- and low-level frequency sound." So, as written, the statement seems self-contradictory. To increase mid- & low frequencies, one would expect it to do that by aborbing high frequencies instead of reflecting them. It seems impossible that any material would actually increase the energy of a sound wave that hits it. A material could focus sound energy or reflect it.

MIL-G-181188B

[edit]

MIL-G-181188B is a Mil Spec for Nomex suites, and if often called that by personnel, however the labels show "Aramid fibers". I read an article an USAF officer lead an research project to find a fire resist clothing after noting the number of burn casualties from WW2, and could be a very early application of Nomex. Something that needs documenting. Flightsoffancy (talk) 16:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
