Aramid fibers have very good resistance to many chemicals, such as organics, acids and bases. Our Technical Guide describes the specific behavior of aramid fibers when they are exposed to a broad range of chemicals. Although Nomex® Protective Apparel exhibits very good chemical stability, most aramid garments are made of fabrics that are not designed to protect the wearer against chemical penetration.
