The NOM20 Flame Resistant Balaclava is a white, 6 oz. Nomex hood designed to provide frontline protection against sparks and heat in environments like steel, aluminum, glass, and forestry. Made from 100% knitted Nomex and sewn with Nomex thread, this hood combines heat and flame resistance with a soft, absorbent feel suitable for prolonged wear. A notable feature is its double-layer top paired with a single-layer pieced bib, which helps shield critical areas while allowing comfortable, breathability during demanding tasks.
The Nomex material delivers reliable spark protection without relying on bulky or restrictive gear. The hood’s construction is purpose-built for industrial settings where exposure to hot particles is common, and the use of Kevlar thread adds durability to seams that endure frequent movement and agitation. Documented compliance indicators (NFPA70E and ASTM-F1506) are part of the product’s specification profile, reflecting its alignment with recognized electrical and flame-resistance performance standards.
When selecting this hood, consider its size and packaging: each unit is sold individually, with a case quantity of 100, suitable for stocking on maintenance carts or in outfitting programs for crews. For ongoing use, verify compatibility with other PPE layers in your flame-retardant ensemble and ensure proper fit and coverage for head and neck areas during tasks that generate sparks or radiant heat.
