Talk:Nomex

message: 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)

message: 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)

replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)

message: Historical Army reference 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)

message: 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)

message: 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.

message: 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)
