ZetexPlus® and Z-Flex® Aluminized fabrics are commonly utilized in foundries and casting operations because they provide exceptional protection from intense heat, sparks, and molten metal splash. These materials are used to fabricate gloves and mitts for holding hot metal and glass objects, high temperature tapes for conveying items in and out of ovens, ropes and tubing for high temperature gasketing, and welding blankets and protective apparel for protecting workers and facilities. Newtex Extreme Protective (NXP) Apparel is also commonly used for these applications. Our proximity suits, gloves, aprons, and other aluminized apparel provide the ultimate high temperature protection.
