Radiant and ambient heat protection

 Newtex 750/850 Proximity/Kiln Suit
 Newtex's 750 and 850 Series Suits are insulated to protect personnel working in close proximity to extreme temperatures or fire.  Made from Z-Flex, the aluminized outer shell and aluminized vapor barrier layers protect workers from high pressure steam, vapor, chemicals, and radiant temperatures to 2000°F (1093°C).  The 750 Series Suit can be used in emergency operations, and has two layers of bulk insulation.  The 850 Series Suit is designed for use in repair or maintenance operations such as in hot ovens, and has three layers of bulk insulation to support higher ambient temperatures.
