The non-insulated APPROACH suit is used in just about every industry requiring heat protective clothing. It is suitable where ambient temperatures do not exceed 200ºF (93ºC). All suits with aluminized ZETEX® outer shell fabric are suitable for exposure to radiant heat up to 2000ºF (1093ºC). Breathing apparatus is required for the Kiln and Entry suits, and is optional for the Proximity and Approach suits. We do, however, recommend that Proximity suits be ordered with breathing apparatus accommodation. ALWAYS have two people suited with Fire Entry, Kiln and Proximity suits to work in relays and to aid each other.
The CPA suits are used in industries where protection from high heat sources, including steam and hot liquids or vapors, is required. Examples would be refineries, petrochemical plants, foundries and casting plants, basic steel and aluminum industries, glass and ceramic plants, and laboratories. |
