Fewer accidental burns injuries
April 1st 2008 The use of heat and flame
protective clothing made of
DuPont Nomex has helped to
dramatically reduce the rate
of accidental burn injuries
over a four-year period at the
Degussa plant of Roehm
GmbH in Germany.
Until 2003, there had
been 20 to 25 accidents each
year involving burns or scalds
to the arms and upper body.
Introduction of a safety
campaign that included
procurement of protective
clothing made of Nomex fibre
has led to a reduction in
accidents of 75%.
Due to its composition of
93% Nomex, 5% Kevlar and
2% antistatic fibres, fabric
made of Nomex Comfort
offers built-in heat protection
and permanent antistatic
properties. More articles from DuPont De Nemours (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l,: |
