Powder-free natural rubber latex disposable gloves for automotive, construction, food handling, and assembly tasks requiring precise fit, tactile sensitivity, and reliable barrier protection without powder contamination risk.
.
Powder-free natural rubber latex disposable gloves for automotive technicians, construction operatives, food handlers, and assembly workers who need a precise-fitting, tactile, and reliable barrier glove without the powder contamination risk of a lightly powdered alternative. The absence of powder makes these suitable for food contact environments approved under EU Regulation 10/2011 and for precision tasks where powder residue on components or materials is unacceptable. Micro textured fingers provide improved grip compared to a smooth finish latex glove. Beaded cuff, ambidextrous, 240mm length. CE marked Minimal Risk. EN ISO 374-1:2016+A1:2018 Type B. Supplied in a box of 100 gloves.
A lightly powdered latex glove is practical for high-turnover donning but introduces powder residue onto every surface the glove contacts. In food processing and food handling environments, powder contamination is a food safety risk. In precision assembly and electronics tasks, powder residue contaminates components and assemblies. In clean environments and pharmaceutical applications, powder is an airborne contaminant. The powder-free construction on these gloves removes that risk entirely, extending the application range of natural rubber latex into environments where a powdered glove would be inappropriate. The micro textured finger surface compensates for the absence of powder by providing mechanical grip on components and materials where a smooth powder-free surface would lose traction.
Powder-free construction: No cornstarch powder eliminates contamination risk in food contact, precision assembly, clean environment, and pharmaceutical applications where a powdered glove is unsuitable.
Natural rubber latex construction: Superior elasticity and close fit compared to nitrile and vinyl alternatives at the same thickness. Conforms closely to the hand for enhanced tactile sensitivity during precision handling, assembly, and inspection tasks.
Micro textured fingers: Raised texture on the finger surfaces provides mechanical grip on components, materials, and tools where a smooth powder-free surface would lose traction. A practical performance advantage over smooth powder-free latex alternatives.
Food contact approved to EU Regulation 10/2011: Suitable for food processing, food handling, and food preparation environments. A confirmed credential that extends the application range beyond automotive and construction into food sector procurement.
EN ISO 374-1:2016+A1:2018 Type B: Chemical splash protection tested against a minimum of three chemicals from the standard test list. Provides a barrier against chemical splash contact with oils, greases, mild cleaning agents, and similar substances.
EN ISO 21420:2020: General requirements for protective gloves met and confirmed.
CE marked Minimal Risk, AQL 4.0: CE marked PPE Category I for protection against contamination, dirt, and potential irritants in low risk situations. AQL 4.0 appropriate for industrial grade applications.
Beaded cuff, ambidextrous, 240mm length: Beaded cuff provides secure wrist fit. Ambidextrous design fits either hand. 240mm length provides consistent wrist coverage.

Q: What is the difference between these powder-free latex gloves and the powdered latex version?
A: Both gloves are natural rubber latex disposables for automotive, construction, and general handling tasks. The key differences are powder status and finger texture. The powder-free version eliminates powder contamination risk for food contact, precision assembly, and clean environments where powder is prohibited. The micro textured fingers on the powder-free version compensate for the absence of powder by providing mechanical grip on components. The powdered version uses cornstarch powder for faster donning with a smooth finish suited to high-turnover tasks and double gloving. Both carry the same CE Minimal Risk certification and AQL 4.0.
Q: Are these gloves suitable for food handling?
A: Yes. These gloves are approved for food contact under EU Regulation 10/2011, making them suitable for food processing, food handling, and food preparation environments alongside their automotive and construction applications.
Q: Are these gloves suitable for operatives with a latex allergy?
A: No. These gloves contain natural rubber latex and must not be used by any operative with a confirmed or suspected latex sensitivity. Natural rubber latex may cause allergic reactions including anaphylactic response. For latex-sensitive operatives, specify a nitrile disposable alternative such as the orange or black nitrile diamond grip gloves.
Q: What does EN ISO 374-1:2016+A1:2018 Type B mean for these gloves?
A: EN ISO 374-1 is the standard for protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms. Type B means the glove has passed penetration testing against at least three chemicals from the standard test list, providing a barrier against chemical splash contact. This covers splash contact with oils, greases, mild cleaning agents, and similar substances in automotive and industrial environments. Type B is a splash protection rating only, it does not cover prolonged chemical immersion.
Q: What is this glove NOT suitable for?
A: Not suitable for operatives with a confirmed or suspected latex allergy. Not suitable for high risk chemical exposure or sustained chemical immersion. Not cut-resistant rated, do not use for sharp blade, sheet metal, or rebar tasks. PPE Category I Minimal Risk only, do not use where a higher protection category is required.
Q: How does powder-free differ from latex-free?
A: Powder-free means the glove contains no cornstarch or other donning powder. Latex-free means the glove contains no natural rubber latex. These are entirely separate properties. These gloves are powder-free but contain natural rubber latex. An operative with a latex allergy must not use them regardless of their powder-free status. For latex-free alternatives, specify the nitrile disposable range.
Q: How quickly can I get these gloves delivered to site?
A: Order by 7pm for next-day delivery to UK mainland sites. CMT Group operates its own fleet covering over 95% of the UK mainland with live order tracking and What3Words integration for precise delivery.
