All three products are registered trademarks of E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Co. Inc., Wilmington, Del. Tyvek is a spunbonded olefin fabric that is used in numerous applications, including disposable protective clothing and mailing envelopes. Kevlar is an aramid fiber known for its high tensile strength and temperature and chemical resistance. It is used in a variety of applications, most notably bullet-resistant vests and cut/ abrasion protective equipment. Nomex is another aramid fiber, popular for its ability to withstand high temperatures and certain chemicals. Because of these properties, it is frequently used in firefighter gear and other protective applications. For technical information and a list of Tyvek, Kevlar or Nomex suppliers, contact DuPont at 800/453-8527 or 302/992-0423.
