What Are Nomex and Kevlar Coveralls
Nomex and Kevlar are two high-performance fibers made by DuPont. When blended together, they produce a fabric that is both flame-resistant and tear-resistant. This combination makes them the material of choice for workers in oil and gas, petrochemical, electrical, and other high-risk industries.
Nomex provides the flame resistance. Kevlar adds strength and durability. Together they create a coverall that protects the wearer from flash fire and arc flash while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear.
The key difference between a Nomex and Kevlar coverall and a standard FR coverall is permanence. The flame resistance is part of the fiber itself. It does not wash out, fade, or wear away with use. A garment made from this blend will provide the same level of protection on day one as it does after two years of regular use and washing.
Why Buyers Specify Nomex and Kevlar
Permanent protection with no wash cycle limit
Treated FR garments have a limited number of wash cycles before their protection degrades. Nomex and Kevlar garments have no such limit. The protection is built into the fiber and remains fully effective for the entire working life of the garment. For buyers supplying workers in active hazardous zones, this is not a minor benefit. It is a fundamental safety requirement.
Meets the highest performance levels of EN ISO 11612
Most large oil and gas operators specify inherent FR as the minimum standard for workers in hazardous zones. Nomex and Kevlar coveralls are accepted by safety managers and HSE teams because the protection can be independently verified through fabric test reports, not just on the finished garment certification. We provide full test documentation with every order.
Stronger and longer lasting than standard FR fabric
Kevlar fibres are significantly stronger than cotton or polyester. This means a Nomex and Kevlar coverall resists tearing, abrasion, and physical
wear at a level that standard FR fabrics cannot match. For workers in physically demanding environments this translates directly into a longer
garment life and a lower cost per wear over time.

Fabric and Construction Details
Understanding what goes into the garment helps buyers make the right sourcing decision. Here is what you need to know about the fabrics and construction methods we use.
Fabric sourcing
We source Nomex and Kevlar blend fabrics from approved mills that supply certified test documentation with every shipment. Fabric is tested for FR performance, shrinkage, colourfastness, and dimensional stability before cutting begins. We do not use uncertified fabric regardless of price.
Construction standards
- All seams are double-stitched using FR thread. Standard polyester thread melts under heat exposure. Using FR thread throughout ensures the garment holds together in the same conditions it is designed to protect against.
- Stress points at pockets, belt loops, and closures are reinforced to extend garment life in physically demanding environments.
- Zips and fastenings are selected for compatibility with FR fabric. Standard metal zips can conduct heat. We use approved alternatives
where the application requires it. - All reflective tape applied to FR garments is itself tested for heat and flame performance. Standard reflective tape melts. We use only tape certified for use on FR garments.
Quality Control and Compliance Documentation
Every Nomex and Kevlar coverall order goes through a structured quality process. This is not a final check before shipment. It runs throughout
production.
- Fabric inspection before cutting. Every roll is checked against the approved fabric standard before production begins.
- In-line quality checks at each production stage. Cutting, sewing, finishing, and labeling are all checked during production, not just at the end.
- Final AQL inspection before shipment. We apply internationally recognized Acceptable Quality Level standards to every final inspection.
- Third-party inspection available. If your company policy or your end client requires an independent inspection, we fully support this at any stage of production.
- Full documentation package. Every order ships with EN ISO 11612 test reports, fabric certification, factory audit documents, and
export paperwork. Everything your HSE team or compliance officer needs is included.

How to Place a Nomex and Kevlar Coverall Order
We recommend starting with a sample before committing to bulk production. It costs very little and removes all uncertainty about fit, fabric, and finish before your money is committed.
1. Share your specification. Tell us the garment style, fabric weight you need, certifications required, colours, any branding details, and your target volume. If you do not have a full specification yet, send us what you have and we will help you develop the rest.
2. Receive a detailed quote. We come back with fabric options, unit pricing, sampling cost, lead time, and minimum quantities. No vague estimates. Specific numbers you can work with.
3. Approve the sample. We produce a physical sample to your spec. You test it, review it with your team or end client, and confirm or request changes. Production does not begin until you are satisfied.
4. Bulk production begins. Once the sample is approved and the order is confirmed, manufacturing starts. You receive regular updates at
key production milestones.
5. Inspection and shipment. The final AQL inspection is completed before goods leave the factory. Third-party inspection can be arranged on request. Full documentation ships with the order.
Common Questions from Buyers
Are Nomex and Kevlar the same thing?
No. They are two different fibres made by the same manufacturer, DuPont.
Nomex is an aramid fiber with excellent flame and heat resistance. Kevlar is a different aramid fibre known for its exceptional strength and cut-resistance. When blended together in a coverall fabric, Nomex provides the flame protection and Kevlar adds durability and tear resistance. Most high-quality FR coveralls for oil and gas use a blend of both rather than either fibre alone.
How is a Nomex and Kevlar coverall different from a standard FR coverall?
The key difference is permanence. A standard FR coverall may use treated cotton or a treated polyester blend, where the flame resistance comes from a chemical coating applied to the fabric surface. That coating degrades over time and with washing. A Nomex and Kevlar coverall uses inherent FR fibers where the flame resistance is part of the fiber structure. It cannot wash out or wear away. For buyers supplying workers in continuous high-risk environments, this difference is significant.
What fabric weight should I specify for an oil and gas coverall?
For most oil and gas applications, a fabric weight between 200 gsm and 250 gsm is the most common choice. It provides solid protection while remaining comfortable for workers wearing the garment for a full shift. Lighter weights around 180 gsm are sometimes used in hot climates where heat stress is a concern. Heavier weights of 260 gsm to 280 gsm are used where additional durability is needed. We can advise on the best weight for your specific application once you share the working environment details.
Can you produce Nomex and Kevlar coveralls in custom colours?
Yes. We offer Pantone colour matching for custom colour orders. Standard colours including navy blue, khaki, orange, and yellow are available from stock fabric. Custom colours require a minimum order that allows for fabric dyeing, which we will confirm at the quoting stage. Lead times for custom colours are slightly longer than standard colours.
Do you provide EN ISO 11612 test reports with the order?
Yes. Full EN ISO 11612 test reports from accredited testing laboratories are included with every order. We also provide EN 1149-5 antistatic
certification, fabric certification documents, and factory audit reports as standard. If your end client or HSE team needs any additional documentation, let us know at the quoting stage and we will confirm what is available.
What is the difference between EN ISO 11612 and NFPA 2112?
EN ISO 11612 is the European and internationally recognized standard for protective clothing against heat and flame. NFPA 2112 is the North American standard, primarily used in the USA and Canada. They test for similar things but use different test methods and performance thresholds. If you are supplying into North American markets, you will likely need NFPA 2112 compliance. If you are supplying into Europe, the Middle East, or Australia, EN ISO 11612 is the standard you need. We can produce to both standards depending on your destination market.
