When an already tough situation can flare up in a heartbeat, it’s good to know there’s a company helping you keep your soldiers safe — DuPont. We’ve been working with the U.S. Military for over 200 years and providing essential personal protection since 1965. But times and conditions change. That’s why our scientists and engineers continue to research, innovate, and test new technologies. Solutions ready for the life-and-death and day-to-day challenges that warfighters face, whether they wear the uniform of maintenance workers, ground troops, flight deck crews, or pilots.
When seconds make all the difference.
In battle, there’s never a shortage of dangers and risks. Flash fire can be as lethal as a sniper’s bullet or an IED. Ground troops, tank crews, aviators, and flight deck crews know that it is an ever-present component hazard. Escape time may be measured in fractions of seconds.DuPont™ Nomex® is the fiber that’s engineered to stand up to flame temperatures in excess of 2,000°F. Proven on the battlefield and in industrial situations, Nomex® is inherently flame resistant, so the protection won’t wash or wear out. It won’t melt, drip, or support combustion in the air, giving your warfighters the confidence it takes to focus on the fight.
Solutions that serve all branches of the U.S. Military
Many innovative solutions are in the field right now, like the Multi-Climate Protection System made with Nomex® for optimum thermal protection in the harshest weather conditions, the Army Aircraft Crew Uniform, and the Combat Vehicle Crewman Uniforms for enhanced protection.
