Rigid Glove Boxes

These Glove Boxes are an economical way to perform and maintain a wide range of atmospheres and functions from simple dry gas purge to isolation/containment. The polymer glove boxes’ modular design lets you select the options you need for your operation. Hermetically sealed enclosures with over 20 different optional accessories allow you to build the ideal glove box for your application.

The standard configuration is designed to allow simple gas purge operations with a gas inlet valve and an automatic pressure relief valve. The Coy polymer glove box can also easily and affordably be customized to your needs.

Aluminum Glove Boxes have the same features but are slightly larger and ideal if harsh chemicals are used.

Polymer Glove Box Details

All glove boxes are fabricated to meet rigorous standards for cleanliness and durability. Solvent welding ensures a strong, airtight structure that won’t leak. The gaskets on the side doors provide a safe, positive seal without interfering with full access to the internal chamber.

The front viewing angle allows the operator an uninterrupted view of work in progress. Contact Coy about custom viewing angles for specific requirements.

Standard Features:

  • Neoprene sleeve with replaceable cuff length latex glove
  • Inlet valve with 1/4″ (6mm) quick disconnect fitting
  • Automatic pressure relief valve
  • Large side door
  • Patented diaphragm top*
  • 6-outlet internal power supply

*The patented diaphragm top increases the ease with which the operator’s hands enter and exit the glove box

For isolation systems, the pressure relief valve that vents to room air can be sealed and equipped with tubing for routing to a fume hood or house evacuation system or Coy supplied capsule HEPA Filter.
