🔬 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
