How Thick Is Neoprene When Used For Gloves

Chemstop® black neoprene unsupported flock-lined gloves of a thickness of 30 mils and a total length of 12 in (30 cm). Sold in pairs.

Superior manufacturer’s code: NE3030

This glove has a puncture resistance level 2 according to ASTM and ANSI standards.

These gloves are available in sizes ranging from small (7) to double extra-large (11). Please select the size needed in the drop-down menu above.

GNE3030 peculiarities:This particular Chemstop® model of glove offers an excellent barrier against chemical substances such as oils, grease, acids (including battery acid), caustics, solvents, oxidation and ozone. Neoprene provides as well a good resistance to abrasion, the effects of aging, sunlight, flames and temperature variations.

This model of glove has been flock lined, that is, it has undergone a process of depositing many small fiber particles – in this case cotton – on its inner surface. The thin layer of cotton, about 2 mils thick, eases the donning and duffing of the gloves. In order for the glove to retain a certain grip quality without adhering to object while handling them, most of the palmar surface of the glove has an embossed pattern to offer a good grip on wet or dry objects.

Neoprene properties:Neoprene is a synthetic rubber more resistant to hydrocarbons and temperature fluctuations as natural rubber. It demonstrates heat stability up to 93°C (200°F). It resists well to a 10% concentration of nitric acid, a 36% concentration of hydrochloric acid and a 50% concentration of sulphuric acid. As long as the limitations on use set by the manufacturer are respected, your neoprene glove will remain comfortable and offer a good dexterity.

Use for:This glove is recommended for chemical processing, degreasing applications, oil refineries applications, the production of plastic materials and the automotive and electronics industries.

Do not use for:Neoprene lays down no special restrictions, since it has been designed to address mechanical, chemical and, to a certain extent, biological risks. It is just a matter of knowing which thickness is suitable for your type of application. The thicker, the better against mechanical and chemical hazards. Please note that neoprene is known, although rare allergen.

Maintenance and service life:This glove may be reused, but we strongly recommend doing a periodic maintenance to avoid any contamination. To wash your gloves, wear them as if you were working and wash your hands with soap as you do normally. If need be, use bleach to remove stains or more tenacious agents. Please note that to ensure the quality of your product after wash, you must turn your gloves inside out to dry them completely.
