How Do the Scilabub Frosters Gloves Work?
The Scilabub Gloves feature an outer layer of woven polyamide, which has a special coating that can resist water vapour and water on damp materials. However, the middle layer features a special polyolefin and polyester microfibre that has twice the efficacy of a normal thermal fibre. This then helps to minimise heat transfer without the material being too thick to handle materials.
How Dexterous Are the Scilabub Mid Arm Cryogenic Gloves?
When handling freezing cold materials you can expect to want to retain dexterity, as this helps to retain grip for yourself while minimising any risk. These gloves are designed to stay flexible even when handling materials that are lower than -100°C, helping to ensure that you can do your job with more productivity and more impact.
