Surgutneftegaz, a major Russian oil and gas company, recently signed an agreement to supply DuPont™ Nomex® protective apparel. Energocontract has been involved with the development, production and supply of Nomex® thermal protective apparel in Russia since 1998 and was chosen to be the protective apparel supplier.
Nomex® conforms to the high safety standards and technical requirements for protective apparel in the Russian oil and gas industry. The core properties of heat- and flame-resistance, antistatic elements, crude oil and petroleum resistance have enabled Russians to work in the toughest and most challenging conditions.
DuPont protects the Russian oil and gas industry with coveralls made with Nomex®.
“Surgutneftegaz selecting Nomex® protective apparel is confirmation that DuPont Personal Protection (DPP) has made another step toward winning the region’s key segment,” said Sergii Gorban, head of DPP in Eastern and Central Europe.
