Introduction New Nomex and Frosters cryostorage gloves from Scilabub have been added. Scilabubs range of gloves are designed to offer highly effective protection against high temperatures yet still provide comfort and outstanding durability. The material used in the construction of their gloves is Nomex, an aromatic polyamide whose outstanding features led to its use in astronauts suits. Infact Scilabubs gloves are very similar to those in regular use by Grand Prix drivers. Scilabub’s Frosters Waterproof Gloves have been specially developed for the handling of very cold objects. Typically they are used for handling objects stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen (ranging from –120°C to –190°C).
Features and benefits Nomex - Heat resistant - Low thermal conductivity - Asbestos free - Double thickness - Knitted fabric for comfort - Does not shrink or melt - Unaffected by washing - Hard wearing - Good chemical resistance - Suitable for cold use too - Available in three hand sizes and two lengths
Frosters - For use with materials stored with liquid nitrogen and in other very cold environments - Superb insulation needs less thickness giving more dexterity - Synthetic fibre outer for flexibility with state of the art membrane for additional protection - Waterproof - Four hand sizes and three lengths, all extending over wrist - Competitively priced

Introduction Scilabub Frosters series of gloves for cryostorage equipment have been added. Scilabub's Frosters Gloves have been specially developed for the handling of very cold objects. Typically they are used for handling objects stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen (ranging from -120oC to –190oC). At actual liquid nitrogen temperature there is some stiffening of the material, but it still remains flexible enough for use. The gloves should not be immersed in liquid nitrogen. They are also very useful for other cold situations such as with freezers, cold rooms, 'dry ice' and microtomes.

Scilabubs 'frosters' range of gloves have been specially developed for the handling of very cold objects. Typically they are used for handling objects stored in the vapour stage of liquid nitrogen (ranging from -120°C to -190°C.
At actual liquid nitrogen temperature there is some stiffening of the material, but it still remains flexible enough for use. These gloves are also very useful for other situations where low temperatures are an issue such as storage freezers, cold rooms, the handling of 'dry ice' and microtomes. The 'frosters' range is available in three styles; mid-arm, elbow and shoulder length and in small, medium and large sizes. Manufactured to European standard EN511.
