|
Newtex's 150/550 Series Approach Suits are lightweight, radiant heat resistant suits designed for use in applications where ambient temperatures can reach 200°F (93°C). The outer shell is made from Z-Flex aluminized fabric to reflect 90% of radiant heat and support radiant temperatures to 2000°F (1093°C). The suit is fabricated without bulk insulation layers to allow for flexibility and freedom of movement. The 150 Series has a flame resistant cotton lining for comfort, while the 550 Series has a flame resistant vapor barrier lining for added protection from steam, vapor, and liquids. |

TEMPERATURE RATING
- Short duration ambient heat of 200°F (93°C)
- Radiant heat to 2000°F (1093°C)
Ambient heat is the equilibrium temperature in an area. Radiant heat is given off by a heat source in proximity. Duration varies depending on the amount of conductive heat transferred during the operation. The 150 and 550 Series Approach Suits do not have bulk insulation layers and should not be used for fire entry.
