Hot Hand Protector From Bel-Art Products Gives A Nod To Fashion

Pequannock, NJ - Solutions in test tubes aren't the only thing changing color in the lab these days. Hot Hand Protector, a no-slip grip mitt from Bel-Art Products is now available in two, new vibrant colors; Lime Green and Sky Blue. Used for handling objects such as beakers, flasks, and bottles at extreme hot or cold temperatures the Hot Hand Protector was originally introduced in Red, a color that will continue to be offered. While one might not think of their lab tools as fashion accessories, Bel-Art Product Manager Robert N. Petersen says 'Color preferences are very individual. It's great when we can take a practical item like a heat protective mitt and infuse it with some fashion sensibility. The bright colors also make it easy to spot in the lab.'

The Hot Hand Protector is one size, 10cmW x 19cmH (3 7/8'W x 7 ½'H) with a 'quick fit' pocket at each end; one for the thumb and one for the other fingers. Concaved tipped studs on the surface provide a secure grip. Made of silicone rubber, the Hot Hand® Protector can withstand temperatures as high as 260°C (500°F) and remains flexible at temperatures as low as -57°C (-70°F) which as Petersen notes, 'makes it ideal for common lab needs like removing items from an autoclave or handling dry ice.'
