DuPont has adapted its Nomex Limitedwear protective clothing for the Defense Department. The garment is designed to protect soldiers —mechanics and infantrymen — from flash fires.
The product, which comes in desert tan, camouflage and other colors, is made with a breathable fabric that is flame resistant. It will not melt or drip or support combustion in air. And, says a spokesman, it can be machine washed without any loss of its beneficial properties.
