Tempshield Cryo-Gloves, Wrist Length, 1 Pair

Cryo-Gloves, Wrist Length, Each, by Tempshield offer Cryogenic Protection in Ultra-Cold Atmospheres. These Wrist-Length Cryogenic Gloves protect your hands and arms when working in hazardous, ultra-cold environments, offering protection down to -196°C. Our innovative design offers superior thermal protection, while allowing for a maximum level of flexibility and dexterity: an essential feature when function is important and safety is critical. Made from state-of-the art fabrics, Tempshield Cryo-Gloves use a flexible, multi-layered insulated construction that provides maximum thermal protection, yet offers comfort, flexibility, and dexterity so you can perform tasks effectively and safely. High performance, thermal inner lining wicks moisture away from hands, maintaining comfort over extended periods. CAUTION: Not for immersion in liquid nitrogen.

• Maximum Thermal Protection
• Water Resistant
• Lightweight and Comfortable
• Excellent Dexterity
• Breathable and Stay-dry Lining
• Length is 11 1/4", 12 1/2" (290-320mm) depending on size. Available in Small (8) , Medium (9) , Large (10) , and XL (11)

Note: Anyone handling cryogenic liquids should be familiar with the hazards presented by such materials and trained in how to handle them safely.

Proper fit contributes to product performance: a tight fit leads to thermal loss.
Select the appropriate glove length and apron length for the specific application.
Select Cryo-Gloves® when working with cryogenic liquids: glove fit should be loose enough to allow for quick removal if necessary.
Select CRYO-INDUSTRIAL® GLOVES when gloves are used in contact with abrasive surfaces.
Store gloves and aprons in a clean dry space.
Periodically inspect the condition of your gloves and aprons: replace garments that show excessive wear. ISO 9001:2008, C E, Cryogenic Society of America, Inc, National Safety Council, Inspect Certified, UKAS Quality Management.

Extended Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Cryo-Gloves protect from -196°C (see below.)

Limits of use: The maximum duration of exposure at ultra cold temperatures is dependent on many variables, including atmospheric conditions, the task being performed and the users physiology. The thermal flux transmitted through the glove is sufficiently low to allow the user adequate time to safely remove themselves from the hazard.

No gloves, including Cryo-Gloves, are recommended for immersion in liquid nitrogen.

Can the gloves be used to handle liquid nitrogen

Yes, however, we recommend the waterproof styles when working with liquid nitrogen to protect against splashes. Gloves should fit properly with adequate cuff length to protect as much of the arm as necessary during different operations.

No gloves, including Cryo-Gloves, are recommended for immersion in liquid nitrogen.

Can the gloves be used with liquid oxygen

Cryo-Gloves will protect to the necessary temperature range and can be used for closed systems.

Antistatic protection should be worn while handling free-flowing liquid oxygen. Cryo-Gloves are NOT static-free.

For which applications would you recommend Cryo-Gloves over Waterproof Cryo-Gloves

Standard Cryo-Gloves provide protection when working with closed cryogenic systems where there is no risk of exposure to cryogenic fluids, ie,

• Dry Cold
• Low Temperature Freezers
• Closed cryogenic systems

When would you recommend Waterproof Cryo-Gloves

Waterproof Cryo-Gloves are necessary when there is the possibility of exposure to cryogenic liquids.

No gloves, including Cryo-Gloves, are recommended for immersion in liquid nitrogen.

What makes Waterproof Cryo-Gloves waterproof

Thin enough that it is essentially an undetectable addition to the glove, a breathable, heat-sealed glove inserted between the outer shell and the insulation makes the gloves waterproof. These inserts are in all styles of Waterproof Cryo-Gloves and in all Cryo-Industrial Gloves.

When would you recommend using Cryo-Industrial Gloves

Cryo-Industrial Gloves were designed for use in any environment where durability and high abrasion resistance are necessary, i.e,

• Delivering cylinders of cryogenic liquids
• Attaching metal mesh-covered hoses
• Maintaining cryogenic systems
• Cold treating metals
• Driving forklifts or stocking shelves in freezers
