180 Nomex

Whenever there’s a need for electrical insulation, there’s usually a product of DuPont™ NOMEX® meta-aramid to fill it. In its various forms – primarily papers and pressboards – parts made from NOMEX® have the right balance of properties for use in transformers, motors, generators and other electrical equipment. This unique balance of properties has been providing reliability to manufacturers for over 25 years.

NOMEX® is a synthetic aromatic polyamide polymer that provides high levels of electrical, chemical and mechanical integrity, when converted in to its various sheet forms. Used properly, NOMEX® products can extend the life of electrical equipment, reduce premature failures and repairs and act as safeguard in unforeseen electrical stress situations.

Excellent electrical insulator that also supports a wide temperature range, it can be used in switchgear, transformers and consumer electronics.

Products made from NOMEX® have characteristics which make them ideally suited for electrical insulation applications. These characteristics may vary slightly in the different forms and types of NOMEX®. The following provides a comprehensive look at NOMEX® and explains the advantages of specifying it in a broad range of electrical applications.
