✅ Certified Standards

- 🛡️ EN ISO 21420:2020+A1:2024 — General requirements for protective gloves — ergonomics, innocuousness, comfort, and marking
- 🔧 EN 388:2016+A1:2018 — Level 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / X — Protection against mechanical risks (abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture, impact)
- ❄️ EN 511:2006 — Level 3 / 3 / 1 — Protection against cold (convective cold, contact cold, water penetration)
❄️ EN 511 Cold Protection — Maximum Certified Levels
The EN 511 standard measures three critical dimensions of cold protection. The GERF® Extra Grip line achieves Level 3 in both convective and contact cold — the highest levels attainable under this standard for cryogenic gloves:
| EN 511 Parameter | Level Achieved | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Convective Cold (a) | 3 — Maximum | Highest resistance to cold air and gas transfer through the glove |
| Contact Cold (b) | 3 — Maximum | Highest resistance when touching ultra-cold surfaces, pipes, and equipment |
| Water Penetration (c) | 1 — Impermeable | No water or cryogenic liquid penetrates the glove |
🔵 EN 511 Contact Cold Level 3 is one level above the GERF® Standard Line — making the Extra Grip the preferred choice for high-intensity industrial operations.
🔧 High Dexterity + Maximum Forearm Coverage Before the Elbow
The BEB Extra Grip delivers maximum hand mobility and dexterity combined with the longest forearm coverage in the Extra Grip line before the elbow — the ideal choice for operations with high splash risk above the mid-arm:
- Black palm-coated grip surface — precision grip on pipes, hoses, valves, and small components without removing the glove
- Reinforced thumb and index finger — the two most-used fingers in precision tasks, reinforced for durability and tactile feedback
- Before-elbow length (BEB) — extends protection up to just below the elbow, maximizing forearm coverage against splashes and cold exposure
- Multi-layer flexible construction — protection layers engineered to flex with hand movement, not against it
- Lightweight build — reduces hand and arm fatigue during extended operations
🔵 Key Features
- Black palm-coated grip surface — enhanced dexterity for handling small objects, pipes, hoses, and industrial equipment
- Reinforced palm for heavy work — ideal for dry ice, metalworking, and industrial cryogenic operations
- Double waterproof protection — internal and external lining for 100% waterproofing against fluids and splashes
- High thermal protection — rated for cryogenic applications down to -196°C (-320°F)
- Multi-layer construction — maximum protection against extreme cold with flexibility and dexterity
- Before elbow length (BEB) — maximum forearm coverage for high splash-risk operations
✅ GERF® Extra Grip — Choose Your Length
| Length | Coverage | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| WR — Wrist | Hand only | Maximum mobility, precision tasks |
| MA — 38 cm | Hand + mid forearm | Moderate splash risk, tank discharge |
| BEB — Before Elbow | Hand + full forearm to elbow | High splash risk, maximum forearm coverage |
🏭 Recommended Applications
- Dispensing and transferring cryogenic liquids (LN₂, LOX, LAr, LCO₂, LNG)
- Discharging cryogenic tanks, dewars, and containers
- Sampling cryogenic liquids from open containers
- Handling hoses, pipes, valves, and cryogenic equipment with high splash exposure
- Heavy industrial, metalworking, dry ice, LNG refueling, and petrochemical operations
⚠️ Limitations / Out of Scope
- Not suitable for immersion or prolonged submersion in cryogenic liquids
- For elbow and above coverage, see GERF® Extra Grip EB or SH lengths
⚠️ Caution: Not intended for full immersion in liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquids.
