Firefighters and industrial rescue teams often operate in environments where conventional PPE falls short. Extreme radiant heat, open flames, and direct fire exposure create conditions too hazardous for standard protective gear to handle. Aluminised fire suits are built for exactly these situations. They deliver reliable high-temperature radiant heat protection where worker safety and compliance standards cannot be compromised. NexG Apparels manufactures two distinct variants under its brands ALUGEN and INGRESS, each tailored for a specific threat level.
The ALUGEN Aluminised Fire Proximity Suit features a specialised aluminised outer shell that reflects up to 95% of radiant heat. It allows the wearer to work close to flames for extended durations without excessive heat reaching the body. Where direct fire exposure becomes unavoidable, the INGRESS Aluminised Fire Entry Suit takes over. This multilayered garment handles entry into intense fire environments and withstands contact temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C).
Both reflective suits meet internationally recognised standards including NFPA 1971 and EN 1486 , making them a preferred choice for organisations with harsh industrial fire safety compliance requirements. Organisations seeking a certified aluminised proximity suit for industrial firefighting or a high-performance fire entry suit for extreme temperature environments will find these garments designed to meet their operational requirements. They also conform to global safety benchmarks.
Beyond their heat resistance, these suits feature ergonomic designs. NEXG Apparels Pvt Ltd’s aluminised fire suits are used in high-risk environments including oil and gas refineries, petrochemical complexes, aviation crash rescue units, steel manufacturing plants and defence fire services.
NEXG Apparels Pvt Ltd, based in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, a high-performance fire protection gear manufacturer and supplier in India, successfully executed a project for an engineering company supplying ALUGEN suits. The aluminised outer shell reflected up to 95% radiant heat, with PTFE aramid moisture barrier and quilted aramid thermal layer resisting up to 2000°F (1093°C). Suit weight was approximately 10 kg, certified to NFPA 1971 and EN 1486 (UL tested). The client confirmed full satisfaction with product quality and delivery.
