Description
Ultra-Long 400mm Cleanroom Latex Gloves
Elbow-Length Protection | Low-Protein | ISO Class 4 & 5 Compatible
Achieve the perfect balance of maximum coverage and superior dexterity. Our 400mm (16-inch) Natural Rubber Latex Gloves are designed for critical environments where standard cuff lengths fall short. The extended elbow-length cuff ensures complete containment of sleeve garments, providing a robust barrier against particulate migration and chemical splashes during deep-tank processing or aseptic handling.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, our premium latex formulation offers a “second-skin” fit with low modulus, significantly reducing hand fatigue during long shifts while maintaining the highest level of tactile sensitivity.
Key Features
- Elbow-Length Coverage (400mm): The 16-inch cuff extends to the elbow, providing enhanced protection for the forearm and ensuring a secure overlap over cleanroom coveralls to prevent “wrist gap.”2
- Unmatched Tactile Sensitivity: Natural rubber latex provides superior flexibility and elasticity, allowing technicians to feel minute details and handle delicate instrumentation with precision.3
- Low-Protein Formulation: Extensively leached and washed to reduce water-soluble proteins and residual accelerators, minimizing the risk of Type I latex allergies and skin irritation.4
- High-Grip Surface: Fully textured surface (or palm/finger textured) ensures a secure grip on wet glassware, wafers, and instruments, even in double-gloving scenarios.5
- Cleanroom Processed: Chlorinated and washed in high-purity deionized water to ensure ultra-low levels of particles and ionic extractables.6

Ideal Applications
- Aseptic Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Critical for vaccine production and sterile filling lines where maximum arm coverage is required to maintain sterility assurance.
- Wet Bench Processing: Protects operators’ forearms from chemical splashes during cleaning or etching processes in semiconductor fabs.
- Optics & Lens Handling: The soft modulus of latex prevents scratching and allows for the gentle manipulation of sensitive lenses.
- Glove Box Operations: The extra length ensures the glove stays secure when reaching deep into isolation chambers.
⚠️ Allergy Warning: This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions. It is not recommended for users with known latex sensitivity.
Selection Guide: Why choose Latex 400mm over Nitrile?
- Choose Latex 400mm if: Comfort and finger dexterity are your top priorities. If your operators complain of hand fatigue or cramping with nitrile, the elasticity of latex is the solution.
Choose Nitrile 400mm if: You need stronger puncture resistance or if your facility has a strict “Latex-Free” policy due to allergy concerns.
