Aluminized Fire Proximity Suit

Also known as: Aluminised Fire Proximity Suit · Aluminised Heat Resistant Suit · Aluminised Suit

Amini Industries is a leading manufacturer and exporter of Aluminized Fire Proximity Suits based in Mumbai, India. Amitech Aluminized Fire Proximity Suits are a specialized piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to provide maximum protection for firefighters, industrial workers and emergency responders dealing with intense heat, flames and radiant heat hazards — engineered with advanced materials and construction techniques to protect against convective, radiant and contact heat, ensuring the wearer's safety and comfort in high-temperature environments. Amitech-brand suits are exported to countries worldwide.

Made from Amitech 408 Aluminized Glass fabric, which reflects 95% of radiant heat — meaning less radiated heat penetrates through the fabric, allowing operators in heat-critical environments to work for longer while maintaining the highest level of safety. Available in Two-Layer, Three-Layer and Four-Layer construction for different industrial needs.

The Role of the Vapor Barrier (Four-Layer): In boiler rooms or aircraft interiors, fire suppression often produces massive amounts of scalding steam. A Two or Three-layer suit will let steam pass through, causing severe compression burns. The vapor/moisture barrier in a Four-layer suit blocks this steam completely. For both airport firefighting and deep furnace inspections, the suits must be explicitly designed with an integrated rear pouch to accommodate a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).
Complete Set Includes

Aluminized coat and pant style, or coverall — with or without pockets for breathing apparatus accommodation (as per customer requirement). Hood with FRP helmet and PC visor. Five-finger aluminized gloves, size 14". Aluminized boots with oil- and heat-resistant nitrile sole.

Applications

Where it's used

Two-Layer

Used by Intermittent/Light Furnace Work (Inspections, quick metal pouring), General foundries and welding yards, Foundries, welding areas, general steel mills, power plants, cement manufacturers, ceramic, glass and plastic manufacturers, and chemical processing — protecting employees exposed to extreme radiant heat for relatively prolonged periods.

Three-Layer

Used by Smelters, heavy metallurgy, power plants, cement manufacturers, foundries, ceramic, glass and plastic manufacturers, and chemical processing, Continuous Furnace & Boiler Operations (Tapping, casting, close kiln work), Aviation Firefighting (ARFF) for standard external high-radiant jet fuel fire suppression— protecting employees exposed to extreme radiant heat for relatively prolonged periods.

Four-Layer

Used by Emergency Fire Entry & Hot Furnace Maintenance (Vessel entry without waiting for full cooldown), Advanced Airport Firefighting involving high-pressure steam, fuel mist, or structural/cabin rescue, Industrial firefighting, close-proximity rescue, and chemical spills, industries which bake on finishes, such as automotive, office furniture and appliance manufacturers. May also be used in oven and conveyor repair.

Industries Served

Firefighting rescue, metal smelting, glass, cement, foundries, plastic and ceramic industries, petrochemical industry, power plants, chemical processing.

Please note: Amitech Aluminized suits are designed to protect wearers from convective, radiant and contact heat sources. They are not designed for, nor should be used for, fire entry. CE heat tests provide an effective method of comparing fabric performance; however, in isolation they do not indicate duration of safe use or suitability for any specific application, as there are other factors to consider. Selection of the appropriate garment is the user's responsibility and should result from a suitable risk analysis conducted by qualified personnel. Aluminized clothing relies primarily on reflectivity for its protective properties — damaged or dirty garments may not perform adequately, and it is vital that garments are kept clean. Contact Amini Industries for advice on cleaning and maintenance.

A word of caution — do not confuse ambient, conductive and radiant heat

The following definitions are given as a reference and vital assistance in selecting the proper clothing for heat protection.

Ambient Heat

The surrounding atmospheric temperature in a given situation. Examples: 65–70°F in an office; 2000°F in a fire walk.

Conductive Heat

Generated by direct contact with a hot surface. Examples: picking up a burner block at 600°F; leaning against a furnace wall at 1000°F.

Radiant Heat

Generated by the sun or a fire source and absorbed by materials struck by the heat's rays (this is why it's cooler in the shade on a hot day).

Primary protective clothing — designed to be worn for work activities during which significant exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat and flame is likely, such as charging, tapping and pouring in close proximity to molten substances and hot surfaces.

Secondary protective clothing — designed for continuous wear in designated locations where intermittent exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat and flame is possible. It will not continue to burn after exposure to and removal of an ignition source; protection against metal splash and radiant heat is secondary in intent. Proper secondary protection should be worn with all aluminized clothing.
