What is the difference between kevlar and nylon?
Nomex is not a brand name of Kevlar. Nomex and Kevlar are both trademarked names for different, although similar, composite fibers. They are both ring compounds based on benzene. The difference is that Kevlar has para-oriented aromatic rings, making it about five times stronger than Nomex. Nomex has meta-oriented rings with 120-degree bond angles, which helps it not melt at high temperatures. That's why Kevlar is used for bullet-proof vests and Nomex is used for firefighter uniforms.http://www.stockcarscience.com/scienceTopics/scsDriverSafety_Firesuit.php
