Extreme Temperatures Demand Temp-Gard™ Extreme Temperature Gear

This is the third article in our series of four (3 of 4) regarding cryogenics and personal protection equipment for professions involved with extremely cold temperatures. Today’s installment looks at PIP® (Protective Industrial Products), a great partner MDS has had a relationship with for many years.

A quick glance at job injury stats can lead to some misperceptions. Hand injuries in no way represent the majority of lost-time injuries; however, it is the nature of those injuries that tells the real tale. Looking at the statistics closely tells why - hand injuries are the most preventable. And when it comes to hands, preventable = gloves.

PIP® understands this and designs and manufactures some of the safest gloves on the market. Hand and arm protection is taken to a new level with next generation engineered fibers and yarns, and innovations in engineered fabric technologies put PIP® at the forefront of the safety industry. Innovations like their new Kut Gard® sleeves and G-Tek® gloves are designed to offer you the highest level of performance and comfort.

Temp-Gard™ Extreme Temperature Gloves

Available in elbow, mid-arm and shoulder length styles, Temp-Gard™ extreme temperature gloves are made with liquid-proof silicone fabric, making them impervious to cryogenic liquids and most other liquids and chemicals. They also offer:

• Exceptional grip; does not become slippery, even at extreme temperatures.
• Improved dexterity at all temperatures
• Superior flexibility; will not stiffen at extreme temperatures.
• Easy to clean, will not absorb chemicals and will not stain.
• Greater wear compared to traditional gloves for a longer service life.

PIP® Temp-Gard™ gloves are ideal for use in work environments to protect from extreme temperatures of -321°F (-196°C) to +500°F (+260°C), such as cryogenic cleaning, cryogenic systems maintenance, conservation of food produce. Please note that these gloves are constructed with an Aramid lining system with thermal protective performance; however, they are not intended for immersion in any type of liquid. They only provide short-term protection from accidental contact with liquids. Not be used for temperatures below -321°F (-196°C) or above 500°F (260°C).

Temp-Gard™ Extreme Temperature Aprons

Like their innovative gloves, PIP® also offers Temp-Gard™ 36-in, 42-in, 48-in and 56-in Silicone Aprons to protect workers handling cryogenic materials.

The PIP® Temp-Gard™ Silicone Protective Aprons are made from liquid-proof silicone fabric, with a quick release neck and waist buckles, offering protection to the torso and upper legs in extreme temperature conditions. This apron is impervious to cryogenic liquids and most other liquids and chemicals, and does not become slippery, even at extreme temperatures. Additionally, PIPs cryogenic aprons will not stiffen at extreme temperatures, and they are easy to clean, will not absorb chemicals and don’t stain.

Ideal for use in work environments to protect from extreme temperatures of -321°F (-196°C) to +500°F (+260°C), such as cryogenic cleaning, cryogenic systems maintenance, conservation of food produce, blood banks, biochemistry, chemistry, cord stem storage and more.

In our fourth, and final installment in this series of articles, we’ll take a look at National Safety Apparel and their solutions for cryogenics protective equipment. Meanwhile, please contact MDS Associates to discuss PIP® protective equipment.

Designed for the extreme cold, these gloves and aprons are perfect for cryogenics laboratories and other settings where extremely cold materials are being handled making them ideal hand protection for the handling vaccines. But don’t take our word for it, just tap the link and ...
