VIKING FIRE HOODS Combining Comfort and Protection The addition of DuPont™ Nomex ® Nano Flex to a fire hood composite structure provides improved particle barrier protection in the neckline and upper jaw areas that historically are known to be the most vulnerable and least protected. See the difference To test the barrier performance, wear trials were conducted with hoods containing the DuPont ™ Nomex ® Nano Flex barrier in between the knit layers on one half of the hood. After the wear trials, the hoods were turned inside out and inspected for contamination. Compare the amount of particles penetrating the hood with or without the paper-thin DuPont ™ Nomex ® Nano Flex protective layer. Outside of hood Hood inside out – this side with DuPont ™ Nomex ® Nano Flex Hood inside out with traditional layers DuPont ™ Nomex ® Nano Flex is a specialty nonwoven made of submicron continuous fibers which provides a superior protective barrier.
