Cryogenic Gloves – Liquid Nitrogen Protection to -196°C, Elbow Length
These elbow-length cryogenic gloves are designed for workers handling liquid nitrogen, cryogenic gases, ultra-cold materials, and cold-temperature processing equipment. Built for protection in extreme low-temperature environments, the gloves help protect hands, wrists, and lower forearms from cryogenic splash, cold contact, and thermal exposure when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Engineered for applications down to -196°C / -320°F, these cryogenic safety gloves combine multi-layer thermal insulation with a waterproof barrier liner to help reduce exposure to liquid nitrogen splash and other cryogenic liquids. The abrasion-resistant palm helps improve durability when handling dewars, hoses, valves, cylinders, transfer equipment, and cold metal surfaces.
The elbow-length design provides extended coverage beyond the wrist, making these gloves suitable for laboratory, National Centers for Cryoelectron Tomography (CryoET), industrial, pharmaceutical, aerospace, mining, oil and gas, and cryogenic maintenance applications where workers need reliable cold protection with practical hand movement.
Important Use Note
These cryogenic gloves are intended for splash protection, cold contact protection, and handling of cryogenic materials when used properly. They are not designed for intentional immersion in liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquids. Always confirm glove suitability for the specific cryogenic liquid, exposure duration, task, and workplace hazard assessment before use.

FAQ – Cryogenic Gloves – Ultra-Cold & Splash Protection
Q1: What temperature can these gloves protect against?
These gloves are designed to protect hands from extreme cold, with effective thermal insulation for temperatures as low as -196°C (-320°F), making them ideal for liquid nitrogen, LNG, and other cryogenic applications.
Q2: Are the gloves waterproof?
Yes, they feature a 100% waterproof seamless liner that provides reliable protection against splashes and moisture, keeping hands dry even when handling cryogenic liquids.
Q3: How durable are these gloves?
The gloves have an abrasion-resistant palm, ensuring long-lasting durability in demanding work environments such as mining, oil and gas, and industrial cryogenic handling.
Q4: Do these gloves allow for dexterity?
Yes, the multi-layered construction is engineered to balance thermal insulation with flexibility, allowing safe handling of tools and materials without compromising protection.
Q5: What standards do these gloves meet?
These gloves are CE Cat. III certified and comply with EN 511, EN 388, and EN ISO 4120 standards, ensuring high-level protection against cold, mechanical hazards, and punctures.
Q6: What length are these gloves?
They are elbow-length, offering extended coverage and protection for the forearms in addition to the hands.
Q7: What industries or tasks are these gloves suitable for?
Ideal for cryogenic gas handling, cryogenic system servicing, laboratory work, mining, and oil and gas industries, as well as any application requiring protection from extreme cold and splashes.
Q8: Can these gloves be used for general-purpose work?
While they offer excellent cold and splash protection, these gloves are specialized for ultra-cold environments. For general-purpose tasks at ambient temperatures, standard thermal or chemical-resistant gloves may be more comfortable.
