Frosters Gloves and Gauntlets For Ultra-Cold• For use with materials stored with liquid nitrogen and in other very coldenvironments• Superb insulation needs less thickness giving more dexterity• Synthetic fibre outer for flexibility• Water resistant• Four hand sizes and three lengths, all extending over wrist• Competitively priced

Scilabubʼs Frosters Gloves have been specially developed for the handling of very cold objects. Typically they areused for handling objects stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen (ranging from -120oC to –190oC). At actualliquid nitrogen temperature there is some stiffening of the material, but it still remains flexible enough for use. Thegloves should not be immersed in liquid nitrogen. They are also very useful for other cold situations such as withfreezers, cold rooms, ʻdry iceʼ and microtomes.
Frosters are long gloves which extend well over the wrist and are cut so that
fingers and thumbs retain a high degree of movement. The outer layer, of royal
blue, woven, polyamide, has a waterproof coating to resist condensed water oncold surfaces. Yet it remains permeable to water vapour so that there is no clammy
condensation inside. However, it should be noted that the stitch holes are notsealed (to reduce bulk around the fingers) and, whilst this could allow liquid ingress,
it has not been found to be a problem in normal use.
The middle layer is of special polyolefin/polyester micro-fibre, which is almost twice
as effective in thermal insulation as a similar thickness of down. This minimises
heat transfer without being so thick as to be cumbersome. The inner layer is ofcotton for comfortable wear.

Frosters are available in a choice of four hand sizes: small (7½” to 8) medium(8½” to 9), large (9½” to 10) and extra large (10½” to 11) and in three lengths:
mid-arm(37cm), elbow (50cm) and shoulder (60cm). Each glove has a hanging
loop inside the cuff, so that they may be hung in a convenient place, away frompools of condensation, when not in use.

They are made to EN 420 sizes and have been tested to EN388 (2, X, 2, X,) and EN 511-contact cold 2, convective cold 2,Flexibility PASS.

The tests were made on and apply to unwashed gloves. However, thegloves may be hand or machined washed in water at 40oC. Use ofbiological detergents, detergents containing softeners, fabricconditioners and bleaches should be avoided. Thoroughly rinse andtumble dry or drip dry. If repeated washing diminishes the outer
proofing, the gloves may be re-proofed with a proprietary silicone orfluorocarbon spray. Avoid contact with alcohol-based products.
Although Frosters have superb insulation, they are unsuitable for use
at high temperatures. However, Scilabub has a complementary rangeof non-asbestos gloves for use up to 370oC.

outer layer of waterproof woven polyamide protects, even at the extremely low
temperature encountered with liquid nitrogen, and yet is breathable. Thermal
insulation is given by a polyolefin/polyester micro-fibre middle layer. The innerlayer is of cotton for comfort. Frosters aprons are fitted with quick release clips at
both neck and waist and our adjustable straps give a comfortable fit.
