Most of those look like 60/40 nomex/cotton blends... any issue with that? (I'm not sure what the standard 'chute protector is made from)

I don't know how much you want to buy in "bulk" but if it isn't a lot, this might be useful.
Some years ago, at the suggestion of someone here, I went on eBay and bought a pair of used forestry service uniform pants which are made of Nomex. I spent a little time with a seam ripper cutting them apart and have had more than enough Nomex squares (of all sizes) to use and give away for some time.
Total cost, including shipping, was about $10.

NOMEX is a type of material that is manufactured. If it is a cotton blend, then the cotton is made flame proof with either the help of the NOMEX or a flame retardant is applied to the cotton fabric.Most of those look like 60/40 nomex/cotton blends... any issue with that?

Before: Tan thin nomex that was sewn as a double layer since it was very thin. Light would come through a single layer. It is not cotton or nylon mix with nomex. It is a wool with nomex. https://www.ebay.com/itm/55-Nomex-A...578521?hash=item33b4425699:g:oycAAOSwHPlWc3DY
