X20 Lightweight Proximity Suits

Newtex’s X20 Lightweight Aluminized Proximity Suit is designed to protect from radiant heat and minor molten metal splash. The X20 is fabricated with a Z-Flex® outer shell and is available with your choice of a standard FR cotton liner or an upgraded neoprene liner for added protection from hot steam, gas, and vapor.

The Z-Flex outer shell reflects 95% of radiant heat and withstands radiant temperatures up to 3000°F (1650°C). In addition to providing outstanding protection, Z-Flex is also the most durable aluminized material available and will not delaminate under even the most demanding conditions.

This proximity suit can be used in a wide range of industries, including foundries, petrochemical plants, processing facilities, and other environments where workers are exposed to extreme radiant temperatures.  They can also be used in industrial firefighting or emergency response applications.
