Z-Flex Air Breathable Aluminized Fabric

Radiant Protection that Breathes

Proximity gear is intended to protect from radiant heat, however, in ambient environments, traditional proximity gear is linked to increased risk of heat stress. Z-Flex Air, the first ever breathable aluminized fabric, is designed to keep you cool, comfortable, productive, and protected in ambient temperature environments. We use a proprietary process to optimize the placement, pattern, and dimensions of micro-perforations to create a breathable barrier that offers all of the same radiant heat protection as standard Z-Flex Multilayer Aluminized fabrics. Z-Flex Silver Air P-202 is NFPA component certified.

Benefits of Z-Flex Air:

• Breathability: Body heat and sweat escapes through the proprietary micro-perforated outer shell.
• Radiant Heat Protection: Z-Flex Air offers exactly the same radiant heat protection you have come to expect from standard Z-Flex fabrics.
• Increased Abrasion Resistance: The micro-perforation process creates a textured layer that helps protect the aluminized surface from abrasion.
• Improved Bonding: The micro-perforation process creates a mechanical bond that works with the adhesive's chemical bond to further reduce the risk of de-lamination.
