EN 388

Hazard Level of Resistance
Abrasion Resistance Level 2
Cut Resistance N/A
Tear Resistance Level 2
Puncture Resistance N/A

EN 511

Hazard Level of Resistance
Contact Cold Level 2
Convective Cold Level 2
Water Permeability N/A

Applications of the Frosters Cryogenic Gloves

The Frosters Cryogenic Gloves offer protection against the extreme cold, including when handling materials that have a temperatures that typically range from -120°C to -190°C. As their polyolefin and polyester micro fibre middle liner works with a polyamide coating, the gloves offer effective thermal insulation that doesn't become stiff even when temperatures are extremely low. Some tasks where we would recommend these gloves include:

  • Bottle handling
  • Cryogenics
  • Dry ice handling
  • Freezer work
  • Scientists
  • Sub zero work

Please note that this gloves are designed for handling extremely cold materials. We wouldn't recommend them for simple, cold outdoor work. However, if you work means that you have to handle items that are far below freezing, then these gloves are ideal.

Sizing of the Elasticated Cuff Gloves

The Frosters Gloves are available in four sizes that should be suitable for most users. To find your perfect pair, please measure the circumference and length of your palm and match the results to the table below.

Glove Size Palm Circumference Palm Length Min. Length of Glove

Size 9 (Medium) 229mm 192mm 250mm
Size 10 (Large) 254mm 204mm 260mm
Size 11 (Extra Large) 279mm 215mm 270mm

What Temperatures Can They Protect Against?

These gloves are designed for people who work with materials that are far below freezing. This can include cryogenics, dry ice handling, bottle handling and scientific work where you can expect to experiment with freezing materials. These gloves are suitable when handling solid materials that are typically between -120°C and -190°C, without becoming stiff.

What Are the Main Uses of the Frosters Range?

One of the main uses of the Frosters range is to protect against spills and splashes of cryogenic materials, including liquid nitrogen. This can occur when pouring, or just generally working with, ultra-cold cryogenic materials. Please note that these gloves are not suitable for immersion in liquid nitrogen.

Scilabub Gloves are designed for handling items that have been submerged in liquid nitrogen. This includes in vaccine research, where Prime Minister Boris Johnson was seen visiting a vaccine research facility in September 2020. You can see scientists use Scilabub to protect their hands towards the end of the below video.

How Waterproof Are These Gloves?

The Frosters Cryogenic Gloves feature a polyamide waterproof coating that can resist condensed water on cold surfaces. Please note that this is not completely waterproof, and will only protect your hands when handling damp materials or in an environment with cold water vapour.

How Do The Frosters Cryogenic Gloves Work?

The Scilabub Gloves feature an outer layer of woven polyamide, which has a waterproof coating that can resist water vapour and water on damp materials. However, the middle layer features a special polyolefin and polyester micro fibre that has twice the effectiveness of a normal thermal fibre. This then helps to minimise heat transfer without the material being too thick to handle materials.

What Does the Frosters Gloves Fit Feel Like?

The Frosters Gloves with Elasticated Wrist are designed to be comfortable, with a cotton interior coating that keeps the hands cosy and warm during use. The elasticated wrist also protects the hands from external risks, preventing debris from entering the gloves.

Are These Gloves Available in Different Lengths?

Will I Retain Dexterity in Freezing Conditions?

When handling freezing cold materials, it is important to retain dexterity in order to minimise risk. These gloves are designed to stay flexible even when handling materials that are lower than -100°C, helping to ensure that you can do your job with more productivity and more impact.
