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.
“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.
