Nomex

Nomex is a trademarked term for an inherently flame-resistant fabric with meta-aramid chemistry widely used for industrial applications and fire protection equipment. It was developed in the early 1960s by DuPont and first marketed in 1967.^[1]

The fabric is often combined with Kevlar to increase its resistance for breakage or tear.
