SP Bel-Art The Original Hot Hand Protector; Silicone, 10 x 19cm, Red (F38000-0000)

This hand protector is a great improvement over the knitted insulated gloves that I used to use for making agarose gels. The silicone material is impervious to steam, so it is an effective barrier to scalding. The little nubs also provide much more grip than our old insulated gloves, as well as put extra airspace between the hot object and the inside grip of the protector. Overall, it's a nice improvement to our previous PPE.I bought the green version and drew cartoon eyes on it with a marker pen, so it looks like a little green monster whenever I hold something with it. The students get a kick out of it.

Great shipping speed and product. I used this product, where it was provided for me, in another chemistry lab in college. I had to return this particular one that I brought for this semester since I didn't need it for my organic chemistry lab. But I would highly recommend this product for anyone taking an undergraduate chemistry lab that includes boiling flasks or beakers and where one of these is not provided.

it is a good item, but it is best for real small beakers! if larger than 500ml then i would suggest to get a 2nd one and use it as pair.
