🔬 Technical Overview

The GERF® Double-Sided Waterproof Cryogenic Apron is engineered for professionals handling cryogenic liquids during tanker loading/unloading, LNG refueling, and cryogenic system servicing. It delivers certified protection against cryogenic liquid splashes at temperatures down to -196°C (-320°F) — including LN₂, LOX, LAr, and LNG — covering the torso, abdomen, and upper legs.

⚙️ Construction & Materials

  • King blue woven fabric with inner laminated padding and lining
  • Multi-layer insulation system with double-sided waterproof barrier on both faces
  • High-tenacity nylon stitching with double-stitched seam reinforcement
  • Certified flexible at -50°C — PASS on ISO 4675:2017 low temperature bend test
  • Available lengths: 36/90 cm · 42/110 cm · 48/120 cm · 54/140 cm

🛡️ Ergonomics & Fit

  • Adjustable neck and waist straps for anthropometric fit adaptability
  • Quick-release buckles at neck and waist — fast donning and doffing in emergency situations

✅ Why GERF® for Cryogenic Risk?

  • EN 511 Contact Cold Level 4 — Maximum rating — independently certified by AITEX, the highest achievable level for contact cold protection under European standards
  • 🚧 No sponge effect — double-sided waterproof outer shell repels cryogenic liquid splashes instead of absorbing them against your body
  • 🚧 No liquid traps — flat apron design without deep pockets or folds where cryogenic liquid could pool and cause freeze burns
  • 🚧 No exposed metal hardware — quick-release buckles designed to prevent direct metal-to-skin contact at cryogenic temperatures
  • ❄️ Certified flexible at -50°C — PASS on ISO 4675:2017; composite materials maintain full flexibility without becoming brittle
  • 💧 Proven splash protection — engineered specifically against LN₂, LOX, LAR, LCO₂, and LNG splashes, not just ambient cold

⚠️ Limitations / Out of Scope

  • Does NOT cover arms, hands, or lower legs — complement with GERF® gloves and gaiters
  • Not designed for pressurized cryogenic gas or vapor exposure
  • Not suitable for immersion or prolonged submersion in cryogenic liquids
  • Not a substitute for a full cryogenic suit in high-volume spill environments
  • The PPE does not allow washing

🏭 Recommended Applications

  • Dispensing and transferring cryogenic liquids (LN₂, LOX, LAR, LCO₂, LNG)
  • Cryogenic tanker loading and unloading
  • Handling cryogenic samples from storage Dewars
  • Cryogenic system servicing and maintenance
  • LNG refueling station and filling station operations
  • Mining, oil & gas, petrochemical, and industrial gas sectors
