Neoprene work gloves are protective gloves designed for users working in chemical and biological environments, thanks to the full neoprene and latex coating.

These chemical protection gloves provide a secure grip and waterproof protection, combining the resistance of neoprene against corrosive substances, solvents, and detergents with the comfort and tactile sensitivity of latex.

Certified according to EN 374-1:2016/A1:2018 (Type B), EN 374-5:2016, and EN 421:2010, neoprene gloves ensure protection against specific chemicals, microorganisms, and radiation, while maintaining lightness and flexibility.

Neoprene gloves are suitable for chemical and pharmaceutical industries, cosmetics industry, professional cleaning, waste management, handling of radioactive materials, and decontamination activities.

Materials

Neoprene coating

Neoprene is an elastic and resistant synthetic rubber, widely used in work gloves for its protection against chemicals, oils, fats, and water. It offers excellent resistance to tears, abrasions, and wear, maintaining elasticity and comfort even at low temperatures. Neoprene guarantees good waterproofness, keeping hands dry in damp or wet environments, and ensures a secure grip thanks to its adherent surface. Additionally, it is flexible and comfortable.

Latex coating

Latex is an elastic and resilient natural rubber, widely used in work gloves for its combination of flexibility, comfort, and protection. It ensures excellent grip and tactile sensitivity, allowing for precise movements even in detailed work. Latex offers good resistance to tears, light abrasions, and everyday wear. Furthermore, it is waterproof, protecting hands from water, dust, and light substances. Its natural elasticity makes it easy to don, adapting to the shape of the hand for an optimal fit.

Performance

Protection against mechanical risks

Gloves that protect against mechanical risks according to EN 388 +A1, evaluated through resistance tests for abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and cut according to the ISO method (TDM).

Chemical protection - Type B

Gloves that protect against chemicals and microorganisms according to EN ISO 374-1 + A1 Type B: resistant for at least 30 minutes against 3 chemical substances: Methanol, n-Heptane, Sodium hydroxide 40%.

Microbiological protection

Gloves that protect against microorganisms according to EN 374-5, evaluated for resistance to penetration by bacteria and fungi.

Protection against ionising radiation and radioactive contamination

Gloves that protect against ionising radiation and radioactive contamination according to EN 421, designed to limit surface contamination and ensure resistance to penetration by radioactive particles and protection against contact with radioactive materials.

EN 388:2016 STANDARD

Cut resistance test

Gauge

Selection guide

EN 388:2016 standard classifies protective gloves according to their resistance against mechanical risks. The resistance against ABRASION - CUT - TEAR - PERFORATION must appear in the pictogram relating to the standard. The revision of the previous standard (EN 388:2003) has made changes to the test procedures, especially for the CUT test, including an additional test.

Test performed to provide an indication about the cut protection. The test is performed using a circular blade that moves on the surface of the gloves with a 5 newton pressure (Coup Test). The evaluation, from 1 to 5, is measured by calculating the number of cycles until the moment in which the blade penetrates the fabric.

For high cut resistance gloves (Coup Test 4 o 5) an additional test (EN ISO 13997) is carried out with a straight blade from which the force required to penetrate the fabric is detected. The value is expressed from A to F (F is the highest value).

The gauge represents the fineness of the knit used to create the glove’s fabric lining. It is a fundamental parameter in determining the dexterity, comfort, and protection level of the glove. The higher the gauge, the finer and more compact the knit.

The gauge directly impacts three key aspects: dexterity, comfort, and resistance.

HIGH GAUGES: 15G > 18G

Characterized by a very thin and lightweight knit, offering high tactile sensitivity and superior ergonomics. Ideal for precision
work, assembly, electronics, and handling small components.

MEDIUM GAUGES: 10G > 13G

Offer an optimal balance between protection, flexibility, and durability. Suitable for logistics, maintenance, light industry,
construction, and general-purpose applications.

LOW GAUGES: 7G > 9G

Characterized by a thicker and more robust knit, designed for heavy-duty use requiring greater mechanical resistance, such as
construction, carpentry, and heavy material handling.

The choice of gauge enables identification of the highestperforming KAPRIOL glove for each activity, optimizing comfort, safety, and dexterity.
In this catalogue, it serves as an essential indicator to guide the customer toward the most appropriate technical solution.
