• What it is. These powder-free latex gloves are the Ansell Microflex CE5-512, a non-sterile natural rubber latex glove built for Class 100 (ISO 5) cleanrooms. Ansell describes a soft latex formulation with textured fingers, a powder-free interior, an ambidextrous shape, and a 12-inch (300 mm) length. Because the glove contains natural rubber latex, it carries an allergy caution. LabPro sells five sizes from XS to XL, and each SKU is a polybag of 100 gloves.
• Why it matters. Ansell positions the CE5-512 on comfort and dexterity: the soft latex formulation gives the stretch and feel many handlers expect from latex, and the textured fingers add grip. The glove is silicone-free, which Ansell says lowers the risk to product and component integrity. Natural rubber latex can cause allergic reactions, and safe use by latex-sensitized individuals has not been established, so keep these gloves apart from latex-free stock.
• How it performs. Ansell lists Class 100 (ISO 5) as the cleanroom class, a 1.5 AQL for freedom from holes, and notes that the glove is not antistatic. The palm measures 5.1 mil, and the fingers 6.3 mil, and the glove is off-white with a beaded cuff. The glove is also described as low in surface particulates, ionic extractables, and non-volatile residues, with a lot-specific certificate of analysis available on request. Ansell's sheet lists ISO 9001:2015 as the quality standard for the product.
• Materials and packing. The glove is natural rubber latex with textured fingers and a powder-free interior. Ansell packs 100 gloves in each inner polybag, one inner polybag in each outer bag, and ten outer bags in a lined carton, while LabPro sells each SKU as one polybag of 100 gloves. Ansell recommends the glove for cleanroom cleaning and preparation, transferring liquids and solids, and assembly of parts, so one polybag size can serve several cleanroom tasks.

Applications / Common Uses

• Cleanroom cleaning and preparing. Ansell lists this task, and the Class 100 (ISO 5) rating with a powder-free interior keeps loose powder out of the room.
• Weighing and dispensing raw materials. Ansell lists weighing and dispensing of solid and liquid raw materials, where latex's soft stretch supports fine handling of scoops and containers.
• Loading centrifuges and chromatography columns. Ansell lists this task, where textured fingers help maintain a secure grip on tubes and column parts.
• Assembly of parts. Ansell lists assembly work and names electronics among its primary industries, where the silicone-free formulation prevents component contamination.
• Transferring and blending liquids and solids. Ansell lists transferring, blending, and compounding, and the 12-inch length covers the wrist during pouring.

Storage, Handling & Shipping

The CE5-512 is supplied non-sterile and for single use. Ansell lists a shelf life of three years and asks that cartons be kept out of direct sunlight, stored in a cool, dry place, and kept away from sources of ozone or ignition. Because it contains natural rubber latex, handle and store it with that caution in mind.

• Keep gloves in their sealed polybags until use to protect cleanliness.
• Keep this latex product separate from latex-free stock to avoid issuing it to sensitized staff.
• Use each glove once, then discard it.
• Order by size: each SKU is one polybag of 100 gloves of one size.
