Green nitrile unsupported textured & flock-lined safety glove for chemical protection. 18 in long and 22 mils thick.

Long green Ansell nitrile gloves, 18 in and 22 mils

The GL37185 long green Ansell nitrile gloves deliver latex-free chemical protection over an 18 in (45.7 cm) length, shielding the hand and a good part of the forearm when handling acids, caustics and greasy substances. Their 22 mils thickness and EN388 4102 rating provide solid mechanical resistance (abrasion 4/4, cut 1/5, tear 0/4, puncture 2/4), while the embossed diamond-pattern palm gives a firm grip on wet or dry objects. Unsupported and cotton flock-lined inside, they don and doff easily and suit demanding tasks where cuff length and chemical barrier matter. Sold in pairs and CFIA approved, they are versatile for chemistry, agri-food, refineries and the automotive industry. Ansell-Edmont manufacturer's code: 37-185.

These gloves are available in sizes ranging from medium (8) to double extra-large (11). Please select the size needed in the field located above. This glove is also approved for food handling by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

EN388 4102 mechanical resistance of the Ansell GL37185 glove

This glove meets EN388 standards as for protection against mechanical hazards. This level of protection is expressed by a pictogram followed by four numbers, in this case 4102, where the resistance to abrasion is 4/4, the cut resistance is 1/5, the tear resistance is 0/4 and the puncture resistance is 2/4. This glove is flock-lined inside, which eases donning and doffing, and in order for it to retain a certain grip quality without adhering to objects 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.

Latex-free green nitrile properties

Nitrile is the best alternative to latex since it offers an excellent flexibility, a secure fit and unequalled toughness and comfort. Nitrile is in fact an elastomer synthetized by copolymerizing butadiene with acrylonitrile. This material is quite resistant to domestic products such as ammonia, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, paints, solvents, oils, greasy substances and hydrocarbons.

We recommend wearing cotton liners under these gloves to help absorb the moisture generated by perspiration (mens G217 and womens G218).

Uses for the long nitrile glove in chemical work and refineries

This glove is recommended for work requiring the use of chemical products, acids, caustics, greasy substances. It may also be used in agri-food and food processing industries, petroleum refineries, car industry, gardening, maintenance, aerospace industry, printing press, furniture manufacturing, electronics industry, etc. These gloves must be kept at a room temperature ranging from -4°C and 149°C (25°F and 300°F).

Nitrile glove restrictions and thickness choice

Nitrile lays down no special restrictions, since it has been designed to address mechanical, chemical and biological risks. It is just a matter of knowing which thickness is suitable for your type of application. The more the glove is thick, the more it offers mechanical and chemical resistance, but it is never flame-proof.

Maintenance and service life of the reusable nitrile glove

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.
