Nomax Thread

[Randy Cornelius]

Been asked to make some repairs to fire fighter bunker gear but need flame retardent Nomax thread. I really have not started looking but thought some of you might know a good sourse. Need it in 207 or 277 size.

Thanks in advance

Randy

Randy,

The brand name is 'Nomex'.

Not being a smart-ass, but I thought it may make your search easier.

Cheers,

Badger

Hi Randy,

Pegasus has it, tex 60, since they supply racing folks, they will have a lot of different colors. It is about $10 for a 100 yard roll.

Hi Randy,

I didn't read far enough. You will need sizes 180, 240, or 300 in Nomex® Multifilament. For fire gear, I use Kevlar® in size 210, but for blankets I use 400 Twisted.

You can buy full spools from John Howard.
