Cryo-Gloves® Cryogenic Liquid Handling Gloves
These gloves are not for use with liquid oxygen!
A note of caution:
As our customers normally handle it, liquid nitrogen is a boiling
liquid; part of the insulation system of liquid nitrogen is the
vapor blanket formed by the gas coming off the boiling liquid, and
this greatly reduces the amount of liquid nitrogen that actually
penetrates into the glove. Liquid oxygen, however, is not necessarily
handled as a boiling liquid, so it is likely to be at a much lower
temperature, with less vapor blanket protection. This allows the
liquid to penetrate into the glove more easily. As a result, gloves
for liquid oxygen are a much more complex system than gloves for
liquid nitrogen. Cryo-Gloves protect against the temperature of
liquid oxygen, but not against exposure to liquid oxygen itself.
That is why we wish to caution against the use of the current SPI
Supplies product offerings of Cryo-Gloves for liquid oxygen.
