The compressed gas industry uses Nomex when dealing with issues involving o
xidizing gasses - like Oxygen, Nitrous Oxide, etc.
However for normal operations we require cotton-only clothes (and in some c
ircumstances welding apparel), as synthetics melt into the skin. Not pretty
.
Airgas carries a variety of these types of PPE as well as a wide variety of
other PPE and safety equipment. http://www.airgas.com
