Twisted Multi-filament Nomex® Thread A-A-50195

While both Kevlar® & Nomex® fibers are chemically similar, they are different in some ways. Nomex® is extremely heat resistant. It will not char at temperatures higher than 675 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it extremely desirable in safety garments used in potentially high heat applications.
