Tempshield CRYO-LNG Elbow-Length Cryogenic Gloves
Tempshield CRYO-LNG elbow-length cryogenic gloves provide thermal and splash protection for industrial work involving liquid nitrogen or liquefied natural gas. This brown CLE-series glove combines multilayer insulation, a waterproof liner and an abrasion-resistant palm. ASA SKU SCLE is available in M, L, XL and 2XL. Tempshield lists applications down to −196°C (−320°F); this does not authorize immersion or establish a safe exposure duration.
Key Features
- Elbow coverage extends protection beyond the wrist.
- Multilayer insulation limits cold transmission.
- Waterproof liner provides a barrier against splashes.
- Abrasion-resistant palm supports industrial equipment handling.
Applications
Tempshield lists cryogenic gas delivery, cryogenic system servicing, LNG filling stations, LNG transport and facilities, and mining, oil and gas work. Select for the actual liquid, task, exposure and required coverage. These gloves are not suitable for handling very small objects.
Fit for Handling and Emergency Removal
Order your true size using Tempshield’s fit guide. The glove should allow rapid removal with a downward shake of the hand and arm. Too tight a fit reduces thermal protection; excessive looseness reduces dexterity. Check movement and removal before entering the work area.
Measure hand length from the wrist fold to the middle fingertip. For the width measurement, make a fist and measure around the knuckles without including the thumb. If the measurements indicate different sizes, Tempshield advises selecting by width. Review sleeve overlap and the rest of your protective equipment before beginning the task.
Use the elbow model when specifying replacements. The manufacturer’s June 2026 instructions identify CLEMWP, CLELWP, CLEXWP and CLEXXWP for medium through 2XL, with corresponding B-prefixed variants. Match the supplied label and required color when reordering.
Applicable OSHA Safety Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 — Hand Protection requires appropriate hand protection for harmful temperature extremes. Selection must consider glove performance, the task, working conditions, exposure duration and identified hazards. Cryogenic splash protection does not authorize immersion.
OSHA 1910.132(d) — Hazard Assessment requires employers to assess hazards and select properly fitting PPE. Section 1910.132(f) requires training on when PPE is needed, how to use it, its limitations, and proper care. These requirements do not constitute OSHA product approval.
OSHA’s cold-environment glove selection guidance advises using manufacturer performance data and employee feedback. Follow Tempshield’s fit instructions so gloves can be removed quickly.
Understand the Ratings
EN 511 code 221 reports convective cold level 2, contact cold level 2 and water impermeability level 1. EN 388 code 2343BX reports abrasion level 2, Coup cut level 3, tear level 4, puncture level 3 and TDM cut level B. X means the impact test was not performed because it is not applicable to the intended use. These are EN results, not ANSI cut ratings or needle-puncture ratings. EN ISO 21420:2020 covers general glove requirements; Tempshield reports dexterity level 0/5. These laboratory results do not guarantee protection against every workplace exposure. Tempshield identifies Category III conformity under EU PPE Regulation 2016/425. See the manufacturer’s notices and declarations for supporting documentation.
