At a glance
Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number. Nomex is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide), density ~1.38 g/cm³, heat band does not melt; decomposes ~400 °C+.

Nomex is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under fire: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue. Scores compare Nomex with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.

Conductivity note: low (fibre); papers electrically insulating. Insulation score 48/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: inherently FR textile. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Nomex · lede
Nomex (poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide)) is a family of grades whose density ~1.38 g/cm³, heat band does not melt; decomposes ~400 °C+, and fire letter inherently FR textile. US and UK documents still dominate Google for Nomex: ASTM, NFPA, BS, EN. Always check whether the job is under IBC, Eurocodes or a national annex.
