No. Nomex is a fire and flash resistant material that doesn't burn, drip or melt when exposed to fire. I WILL burn if held in contact with a continuous flame, but as soon as the flame is taken away, it will not sustain combustion.

Here's the wiki on it-

Huh, I learned something. It was originally used as a parachute material for the space program...

I have used it extensively, first as an 19K (Armor) in the army, then later as a firefighter/EMT.

It comes in almost any color you can imagine. Great for a hell-kilt.
