Aluminized Suits

There are 3 types of aluminized suits: the approach suit, the proximity suit, and the entry suit.

Approach Suit
The approach suit works in general high temperatures such as steel mills and smelting facilities. It has heat protection up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Proximity Suit
The proximity suit is used for aircraft rescue and firefighting. This suit can protect up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Entry Suit
The entry is used for entering extreme heat, like being totally submerged in flames. It is made out of Zetex and it is not aluminized. For a short duration of time it can protect people up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
