Fire Proximity Suit

Fire Proximity Suit is a specialized protective outfit designed for operations in extreme heat environments, such as steel plants, oil and gas fires, petrochemical industries, and other high-temperature settings. Certified to meet NFPA 1971 standards, fire proximity suit combines an aluminized outer layer with aramid or PBI linings, offering superior radiant heat protection and fire protection. Lightweight at 4429g, fire proximity suit includes a hood, jacket, bib pants, gloves, and boots, ensuring full-body coverage for emergency response in high-risk scenarios. Its multi-layer structure balances heat insulation, flexibility, and comfort, making it ideal for prolonged operations in extremely high temperatures.

Detail

The proximity suit employs a three-layer composite structure tailored for high radiant heat environments:

  1. Outer Aluminized Layer

    • Made from Ibena Silver Star aluminized fabric with an aramid fiber base, this layer reflects a significant portion of radiant heat, minimizing thermal exposure to the wearer.

  2. Insulation Layer

    • A 170g flame-retardant felt layer ensures effective heat insulation, preventing thermal penetration to the inner layers.

  3. Comfort Layer

    • The soft cotton lining absorbs moisture, enhances breathability, and reduces discomfort during extended operations.

The suit weighs just 4429g and maintains flexibility, allowing workers to perform efficiently in emergency response scenarios. Its materials exhibit exceptional resistance to burning, melting, and carbonization under high-temperature conditions. With a static water pressure resistance of 24kPa, it also provides protection against steam and liquid splashes.

Feature

1. Superior Radiant Heat Protection

  • The aluminized outer layer reflects high radiant heat, shielding the wearer from extreme thermal exposure.
  • The 170g insulation layer enhances heat resistance and delays thermal conduction.

2. Lightweight and Flexible Design

  • Weighing only 4429g, the suit enables wearers to move comfortably and efficiently in challenging environments.
  • The soft cotton inner layer ensures comfort during long-duration tasks, with moisture-wicking properties to reduce heat stress.

3. High-Performance Fire Protection

  • Exhibits zero seconds of sustained flame during tests, with no melting, dripping, or carbonization.
  • Provides excellent tear resistance, with 4800N weft tear strength and 4700N warp tear strength, ensuring durability in high-intensity conditions.

4. Comprehensive Protection

  • Includes a hood, jacket, bib pants, gloves, and boots for full-body coverage.
  • The suit retains dimensional stability (0% shrinkage) under extreme conditions, withstanding deformation, delamination, or discoloration.

5. Versatility and Durability

  • Meets the demands of fire protection, radiant heat shielding, and waterproofing.
  • Reinforced with strong materials to endure frequent use in extremely high temperatures.

Applications

1. Metallurgical Industry

  • Ideal for steelmaking, casting, and heat treatment operations, offering reliable protection against high radiant heat.

2. Oil and Gas Firefighting

  • Reflects intense heat in petrochemical fires and oil spills, reducing thermal exposure during emergency response.

3. Glass and Ceramics Manufacturing

  • Provides effective heat isolation for workers in high-temperature kilns and furnaces.

4. Chemical and Power Plants

  • Shields operators during maintenance of high-temperature reactors and equipment, protecting against splashes and radiant heat.
