Nomex Omega fibre reacts to high levels of radiant heat or to the contact with a flame... In the case of multi-layer protective clothing(an external layer as screen, a breathable waterproof barrier and an insulating layer inside), the extension of the Nomex Omega screen layer due to the heat forms a balloon which imprisons an air layer in-between the screen layer and the breathable membrane. This additional air layer increases appreciably the thermal protection of the garment. 1, record 1, English, - thermal%20protection%20of%20garment

La fibre Nomex Omega [...] réagit à la présence de hauts niveaux de chaleur radiante ou au contact d'une flamme vive [...] Dans le cas de vêtements de protection multicouches (une couche extérieure écran, une barrière imper-respirante et une couche isolante à l'intérieur), l'allongement du tissu écran en Nomex Omega provoqué par la chaleur forme un ballon qui emprisonne une couche d'air entre la couche écran et la membrane imper-respirante. Cette couche d'air supplémentaire augmente la protection thermique du vêtement de façon très sensible. 2, record 1, French, - protection%20thermique%20de%20v%C3%AAtement

DuPont's Nomex Omega is the latest addition to the meta-aramid(Nomex) and para-aramid(Kevlar) families... Nomex Omega reacts to high levels of radiant heat or to the contact with a flame : the polymer re-orients itself and the fibre extends along the fabric layer... In the case of multi-layer protective clothing(an external layer as screen, a breathable waterproof barrier and an insulating layer inside), the extension of the Nomex Omega screen layer due to the heat forms a balloon which imprisons an air in-between the screen layer and the breathable membrane.

La fibre Nomex Omega [marque déposée] de DuPont vient s'ajouter à la famille des méta-aramides (Nomex) et para-aramides (Kevlar). [...] Le Nomex Omega réagit à la présence de hauts niveaux de chaleur radiante ou au contact d'une flamme vive; le polymère aramide se réoriente et la fibre se met à s'allonger dans le plan du tissu. [...] Dans le cas de vêtements de protection multicouches (une couche extérieure écran, une barrière imper-respirante et une couche isolante à l'intérieur), l'allongement du tissu écran en Nomex Omega provoqué par la chaleur forme un ballon qui emprisonne une couche d'air entre la couche écran et la membrane imper-respirante.
