Nomex MHP is a multihazard fabric from DuPont that has been developed and tested for Australia and New Zealand. It provides workers with multihazard protection against heat, flame and electric arcs.
There are two fabric styles, Nomex MHP 160 and Nomex MHP 185, weighing just 160 and 185 g/m2 respectively. These fabrics are lightweight and comfortable for workers.
Even though the fabrics are lighter weight, they still provide good body burn protection. For instance, Nomex MHP 185 fabric has only 17% body burn, which far exceeds the NFPA 2112 standard of ≤50% body burn.
The combination of Nomex and Kevlar fibres within this fabric also ensures a strong and durable performance, providing high breaking strength and abrasion resistance.
The fabric is not only lightweight, but it can also withstand the harsh climatic conditions faced in Australia. The garments provide a lasting professional appearance and the high-vis yellow and orange colours meet the Australian high-vis standard for colour fastness against UV, washing and perspiration.
The fabric is certified to leading international and local standards: Arc Protection: NFPA 70E - 2015 (HRC-1); Flash Fire: NFPA 2112–2012; High Daytime Visibility: AS/NZS 1906.4: 2010 (Yellow & Orange); Oeko-Tex 100: Class 2; and Electrostatic Dissipative: EN1149-5: 2008.
