Superior Chemstop® heavy duty black neoprene gloves, 12 inches long, 30 mils thick.

Chemstop® black neoprene flock-lined gloves, 12 in and 30 mils

The Chemstop® GNE3030 black neoprene gloves deliver a robust chemical barrier against oils, grease, acids (including battery acid), caustics, solvents, oxidation and ozone, making them a reliable choice for demanding tasks. Their 30 mils thickness and 12 in (30 cm) length protect the hand and wrist, while neoprene also resists abrasion, aging, sunlight, flames and temperature variations up to 93°C (200°F). Unsupported and lightly cotton flock-lined inside, they don and doff easily, and their embossed palm ensures a firm grip on wet or dry objects. Sold in pairs, they offer an ASTM/ANSI puncture resistance level 2. Superior manufacturer's code: NE3030.

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

Features of the flock-lined Chemstop® GNE3030 glove

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 doffing of the gloves. In order for the glove 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.

Black neoprene heat-stable properties

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber more resistant to hydrocarbons and temperature fluctuations than 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.

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

Uses for the neoprene glove in chemical processing and refineries

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

Neoprene glove restrictions and thickness choice

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 a known, although rare, allergen.

Maintenance and service life of the reusable Chemstop® 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.

FAQ about the Chemstop® neoprene GNE3030 glove

Which chemicals does the GNE3030 glove protect against?

It forms a barrier against oils, grease, acids (including battery acid), caustics, solvents, oxidation and ozone; neoprene resists well to nitric acid (≤10%), hydrochloric acid (≤36%) and sulphuric acid (50%) within the manufacturer's limits.

Does it resist heat?

Yes. Neoprene is heat-stable up to 93°C (200°F) and also resists abrasion, sunlight and flames.

How can I improve comfort during prolonged use?

Wear a cotton liner under the glove (G217 for men, G218 for women) to absorb the moisture generated by perspiration.

Complementary equipment suggestions for your neoprene chemical protection

To complete your chemical hand protection, also consider the yellow latex glove with blue neoprene coating, flock-lined and embossed, 12 in and 30 mils for acid and solvent handling (neoprene (GL1224), the Ansell Industrial natural rubber latex glove, 17 mils thick, sold by the pair (GL4540), and the natural yellow latex glove, textured and flock-lined, 12 in and 20 mils for light handling (GL9298).
