Scilabub’s Frosters cryogenic gloves have been specially developed for the handling of very cold objects. Typically they are used for handling objects stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen (ranging from –120°C to –190°C). At actual liquid nitrogen temperature there is some stiffening of the material, but it still remains flexible enough for use. The gloves should not be immersed in liquid nitrogen. They are also very useful for other cold situations such as with freezers, cold rooms, ‘dry ice’ and microtomes.
- Superb insulation needs less thickness giving more dexterity
- Synthetic fibre outer for flexibility
- Water resistant
- Mid arm length (370mm), extending well over the wrist
- Cut so that fingers and thumbs retain a high degree of movement
- Outer layer, of royal blue, woven polyamide, has a waterproof coating to resist condensed water on cold surfaces, yet remains permeable to water vapour so that there is no clammy condensation inside.
- Insulation layer is of special polyolefin/polyester microfiber, which is almost twice as effective in thermal insulation as a similar thickness of down, minimising heat transfer without being so thick as to be cumbersome
- Inner layer is of breathable cotton for comfortable wear
- Each glove has a hanging loop inside the cuff, so that they may be hung in a convenient place, away from pools of condensation, when not in use
- They are made to EN 420 sizes and have been tested to EN388 and EN511 and CE marked in accordance with EU REGULATION: 2016/425.
- Note: unsuitable for use at high temperatures
- Supplied in pairs
