GERF® Double Waterproof Cryogenic Protection Jacket | Torso & Arm Splash Guard | -196°C

🧊 GERF® DOUBLE WATERPROOF CRYOGENIC PROTECTION JACKET
3-Layer Torso & Arm Protection Against Cryogenic Liquid Splashes | EN 511 · ISO 21420 Compliant

🔬 Technical Overview

The GERF® Double Waterproof Cryogenic Jacket is engineered to protect the torso, back, and arms against spills and splashes of cryogenic liquids at temperatures down to -196°C (-321°F), including liquid nitrogen (LN₂), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid argon (LAR), LCO₂, and LNG. Built on the same multi-layer technology as GERF® certified cryogenic gloves, it delivers certified thermal and splash protection without compromising mobility or comfort during extended operations.

⚙️ 3-Layer Construction

• 🔵 Outer layer: Royal blue woven polyamide with waterproof coating — resists condensed water and cryogenic liquid penetration on cold surfaces
• ⚪ Middle layer: Special polyolefin/polyester micro-fibre insulation — nearly twice as effective as equivalent-thickness down, minimizing heat transfer without bulk
• ⚪ Inner layer: Soft polyester lining — comfortable against skin for long-duration wear

🛡️ Key Protection Features

• Protection against cryogenic liquid splashes (LN₂, LOX, LAR, LCO₂, LNG) at -170°C to -196°C
• Double waterproof barrier — outer coating + sealed construction
• High-efficiency insulation reduces bulk while maintaining thermal performance
• Optimized air flow design — prevents clamminess during extended wear
• Antistatic construction — safe for ESD-sensitive industrial environments
• Velcro fastening — adjustable to a wide range of body heights
• Elasticated waist for secure, comfortable fit
• Lightweight and highly flexible — unrestricted range of motion
• Easy-clean outer shell and removable liner
• Does not harden or degrade at cryogenic temperatures

✅ Why GERF® for Cryogenic Risk?

• 🚧 No sponge effect — the outer shell is waterproof polyamide, not cotton or absorbent fabric. Cryogenic liquid splashes bead off the surface instead of being retained against your body
• 🚧 No liquid traps — the jacket is designed without deep pockets or folds where cryogenic liquid could pool and cause freeze burns
• 🚧 No exposed metal zippers — closures are designed to prevent direct metal-to-skin contact, eliminating the risk of metal bonding to skin upon cryogenic liquid contact
• ❄️ Stays flexible at -196°C — the composite materials do not harden or become brittle at cryogenic temperatures, maintaining full range of motion throughout the operation
• 💧 Proven splash protection — engineered specifically against LN₂, LOX, LAR, LCO₂, and LNG splashes, not just ambient cold

🏭 Recommended Applications

• Liquid nitrogen (LN₂) handling and dispensing
• Cryogenic tanker unloading — LOX, LIN, LAR, LCO₂, LNG
• Ultra-low temperature freezer operations
• Cryogenic Dewar filling, transport, and maintenance
• LNG facility operations and refueling stations
• Dry ice handling and cold storage environments
• Cryogenic pipeline defrosting and maintenance
• Oil & gas, mining, petrochemical, and industrial gas sectors

✅ Compliance & Standards

• 🧊 EN 511 — Protection against cold (convective, contact, and water penetration)
• 🛡️ ISO 21420 — General requirements for protective equipment
• ⚡ Antistatic construction — suitable for ESD-sensitive environments

⚠️ Caution: Not intended for full immersion in liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquids.
