“The West Texas Historical Association has always been an organization committed to people who are interested in the history of West Texas. Because of our open-membership policy our association has been filled by a healthy cross-section of lay and professional historians. These include teachers, students, business people, farmers, ranchers, and engineers who have contributed to the growth of the organization. In addition, our membership has had solid institutional support from colleges, universities, libraries, museums, county historical groups, and corporations throughout the region and across the nation.”

THERMO-MAN® is dressed completely in protective apparel and engulfed in flames so factors such as garment construction, fabric weight, material type, style, fit and the impact of outerwear and undergarments can be taken into account. Results are then analyzed to determine the extent of thermal protection Nomex® provides.

If you are interested in attending a THERMO-MAN® demonstration and seeing first hand how garments made with DuPont™ Nomex® helps protect workers from burn injury, sign up here.
