When firefighters step into extreme radiant heat, the apparel they wear is their last line of defense. The fabric their clothing is made of makes all the difference. Newtex Industries stands out by offering Aluminized Proximity Fabrics, engineered precisely for these life-critical moments. Using a proprietary multilayer aluminization process, we deliver superior reflectivity across a broad range of fiber blends and constructions.
Our NFPA-certified lines, DualMirror II and Z-Flex II, are built for proximity firefighting and industrial safety apparel. DualMirror® II reflects up to 95% of radiant heat while staying flexible and crack-resistant. Z-Flex® II offers lightweight versatility across substrates, including PBI/aramid, Kevlar®, and Preox/oxidized PAN, all meeting rigorous US and EN safety standards.
