Ansell MICROFLEX® CE5-512 Cleanroom Latex Gloves (Natural) — Class 100 / ISO 5 Comfort, Dexterity and Silicone-Free Protection
Class 100 / ISO 5 Natural rubber latex Powder-free Textured fingers Silicone-free 12" extended cuff Non-sterile 1000 gloves / case
Product overview
MICROFLEX® CE5-512 is a comfortable, powder-free cleanroom latex glove designed for Class 100 / ISO 5 controlled environments where operators need a soft latex feel, reliable dexterity and confident grip. Textured fingers help with fine handling, and a silicone-free formulation helps protect sensitive products and components from silicone transfer.
Why customers choose CE5-512
  • Cleanroom-compatible for Class 100 / ISO 5 operations, supporting contamination control discipline where gloves are a primary product-contact risk.
  • Soft latex formulation helps reduce hand fatigue while maintaining tactile response for delicate assembly and handling tasks.
  • Textured fingers improve grip on tools, fixtures, containers and components, including when wiping down or handling lightly wetted parts.
  • Silicone-free design reduces the risk of silicone-related defects (common concern in electronics, optics and precision manufacturing).
  • Extended cuff coverage (12" overall glove length) supports gowning interfaces and helps reduce wrist/forearm exposure during routine work.
Recommended applications
  • Cleanroom cleaning and preparing (non-sterile environments)
  • Blending and compounding solids and liquids
  • Spill or leakage cleanup
  • Transferring liquids and solids
  • Loading centrifuges and chromatography columns
  • Assembly of parts
  • Weighing and dispensing of solid and liquid raw materials
Note: CE5-512 is non-sterile. If your process requires sterile gloves for aseptic manipulations (for example, within ISO 5 critical zones in regulated sterile processing), ensure your gowning program specifies the appropriate sterile glove solution.

Always validate glove selection in your process, including chemical compatibility, product contact risk and operator technique.
Cleanroom program guidance (U.S. first, global context second)
In U.S.-based cleanroom and regulated manufacturing programs, gloves are typically treated as a primary contamination control and mix-up risk. Build glove selection and use into your contamination control strategy: consistent sizing, defined change frequency, controlled donning/doffing, and line-of-sight accountability at points of use. For terminology and classification alignment, ISO 14644 cleanroom language is commonly used in the U.S. alongside internal quality systems and risk-based controls.
As a secondary/global benchmark, EU GMP Annex 1 reinforces risk-based contamination control strategy (CCS) thinking: material transfer discipline, glove integrity/changes at critical steps, and documentation that supports traceability and investigation readiness. Use it as a continuous improvement lens where it fits your business, without treating it as a U.S. legal requirement.

Product image shown for identification. Always qualify gloves within your site contamination control strategy.
1) Practical solutions in a critical environment
In Class 100 (ISO 5) work, glove choice is rarely about comfort alone. It is about controlling the highest-risk contamination pathway: the operator. MICROFLEX® CE5-512 is built for ISO 5 handling steps where dexterity, grip, and consistent cleanroom cleanliness matter, while also keeping silicone out of the process stream for better product and component protection.
This glove is non-sterile. If your process requires sterile transfer or direct contact with sterile product pathways, select a sterile glove validated for that workflow and document the change within your CCS (Contamination Control Strategy).
2) What it’s for
CE5-512 is designed for Class 100 (ISO 5) controlled environments where operators need tactile feel and reliable grip while managing particulate risk.
  • Clean room cleaning and preparing
  • Blending and compounding solids and liquids
  • Spill or leakage cleanup
  • Transferring liquids and solids
  • Loading centrifuges and chromatography columns
  • Assembly of parts
  • Weighing and dispensing of solid and liquid raw materials
Primary industries noted for this glove include life sciences and electronics. In practical use, it is a strong fit anywhere ISO 5 handling steps combine high touch sensitivity with controlled cleanliness expectations.
3) Why should customers consider this glove
  • ISO 5 intent: Listed as compatible with Class 100 / ISO 5 environments.
  • Dexterity-forward latex feel: Soft natural rubber latex formulation supports fine handling tasks.
  • Textured fingers + beaded cuff: Helps grip and provides donning stability for extended cuff gloves.
  • Silicone-free: Reduced risk of silicone-related interference where product/component integrity matters.
  • Documentable quality signals: ISO 9001:2015 audit standard listed; particle count method referenced to IEST-RP-CC005.4; AQL provided.
  • Consistent pack configuration: Case and inner pack scheme supports controlled dispensing and inventory discipline.
Note: Natural rubber latex may not be appropriate for latex-sensitive users or facilities with latex restrictions. Qualify glove material against your EHS, HR/medical, and customer requirements before standardizing.
4) Materials and construction
Material: Natural rubber latex. Color: Natural. Shape: Ambidextrous. Cuff: Beaded; extended cuff length.
Surface design: Textured fingers for grip. Internal surface: Powder-free. Silicone: Silicone-free design called out for product protection.
Electrostatic note: Antistatic is listed as “No.” If your process includes ESD-sensitive assemblies, ensure your glove choice and grounding strategy are aligned with your site ESD program and validation expectations.
5) Specifications in context
In ISO 5 work, you want a glove that controls two things at once: what it releases (particles, residues) and what it allows you to do (grip, precision, fatigue reduction). CE5-512 publishes a particle-count cleanliness target tied to an IEST test method reference, alongside typical glove thickness targets and an AQL for holes. Together, these are the kinds of values quality teams can translate into receiving inspection, supplier qualification, and ongoing performance trending.
Specification Value (published) Why it matters in ISO 5
Cleanroom class Class 100 / ISO 5 Aligns glove intent with controlled-environment cleanliness expectations.
Typical glove length 300 mm / 12" Extended cuff helps cover gown interface and reduces wrist exposure during reaches.
Freedom from holes 1.5 AQL Supports barrier confidence; important for operator protection and product protection.
Target palm thickness 0.14 mm / 5.5 mil Balances tactile feel and durability during repetitive handling.
Target finger thickness 0.18 mm / 7.1 mil Higher finger robustness where abrasion and pinch points are common.
Protein level 50 µg/g or less (total extractable protein) Helps facilities manage latex protein control objectives; still requires allergy risk evaluation.
Country of origin Malaysia Useful for supplier risk assessment, continuity planning, and customer disclosure needs.
Shelf life 3 years Supports inventory controls, FEFO rotation, and audit-ready stock management.
6) Cleanliness metrics
Published cleanliness and integrity signals (glove-specific)
Metric Typical / stated value Test method / reference (if stated)
Typical particle count (≥0.5 µm) < 2,000 particles / cm² IEST-RP-CC005.4
Freedom from holes 1.5 AQL EN 455-1; ASTM D5151-06 (2011) (as listed)
Protein level (latex) 50 µg/g or less (total extractable protein) Not stated in the published PDS excerpt beyond value
Typical ion extractables and typical NVR
For this glove, typical ion extractables and nonvolatile residue (NVR) values are not stated in the published product data sheet. If your process is residue-sensitive (optics, precision coating, certain biologics workflows), consider pairing glove qualification with residue-focused cleaning materials and documented wipe-down steps.
When you need a complementary ISO 5 wiping system, select a low-linting cleanroom wiper (nothing is truly lint-free) and qualify it for your surfaces and solvents. For ISO 4–5 environments, Texwipe AlphaWipe® TX1009 is a widely used baseline for controlled wiping steps.
7) Packaging, sterility, and traceability
Packaging (case unit): 10 polybags per 1 master bag; 1 master polybag per case; 100 gloves per double polybag (1,000 gloves per case).
Sterility: No (non-sterile). If sterile processing requires sterile gloves, use a sterile glove and document gowning and disinfection steps per your CCS.
Storage: Keep out of direct sunlight; store in a cool and dry place; keep away from sources of ozone or ignition (as stated).
Quality system: Manufacturing/QMS audit standard listed as ISO 9001:2015. This supports supplier qualification conversations and audit readiness when paired with incoming inspection and lot control practices.
8) Best-practice use
ISO 5 donning discipline (operator-level): The most common failure is rushing glove changes. Treat glove donning as a controlled step.
  • Stage the pack: Keep outer cases out of the clean area; introduce only the required inner packs per your material transfer rules.
  • Don with the cuff in mind: Use the beaded cuff to avoid tearing; pull from the cuff, not the fingers, to reduce micro-tears and surface stress.
  • Glove-to-gown interface: Ensure the 12" extended cuff overlaps your gown cuff; if your SOP uses cuff tape or cuff sealers, apply after confirming proper overlap.
  • Glove change triggers: Change gloves after touching non-controlled surfaces, after any visible compromise, after spill response, and at defined time intervals if your CCS requires it.
  • Wipe-down steps: If your SOP includes glove surface wipe-down prior to ISO 5 manipulations, use a validated disinfectant/solvent and a low-linting wiper. (Nothing is truly lint-free.)
  • Latex sensitivity control: Ensure your site has a defined escalation path for latex sensitivity and substitute materials when required.
EU GMP Annex 1 alignment tip (global benchmark): Annex 1 pushes risk-based contamination control and strong operator discipline. In U.S. contexts, treat Annex 1 as a useful benchmark for continuous improvement — while anchoring your formal compliance to applicable U.S. expectations (FDA cGMP and, where applicable, USP compounding standards).
9) Common failure modes
  • Micro-tears from aggressive donning: Pulling from the fingertips can overstress the material and compromise integrity.
  • Contamination from poor pack handling: Bringing outer cartons too close to critical areas or storing opened bags improperly.
  • Grip loss leading to drops: Wet handling or incompatible solvents can reduce grip; textured fingers help, but process discipline still matters.
  • Latex restriction conflicts: Introducing latex into a latex-restricted facility can create compliance and EHS issues.
  • ESD mismatch: Using a non-antistatic glove where ESD controls are mandatory can create product risk if not managed by a validated grounding strategy.
  • Improper storage: Heat, ozone, and sunlight exposure can accelerate material degradation and shorten usable life.
10) Closest competitors
The best comparison set stays inside the same ISO 5 intent and operational reality (dexterity, particle control, documentation, supply continuity). These are commonly cross-shopped alternatives on SOSCleanroom for ISO 5 environments:
  • Ansell CE5-755 MICROFLEX cleanroom nitrile gloves (Class 100 / ISO 5): Consider when latex restrictions apply or nitrile is preferred for chemical compatibility and allergy control.
  • Ansell BIOTAC BioClean cleanroom nitrile gloves (Class 100 / ISO 5): Consider when the facility standardizes on BioClean family documentation or has specific nitrile handling preferences.
  • Ansell 93-311 Nitrilite cleanroom nitrile gloves (Class 100 / ISO 5): Consider when you want ISO 5 intent in a nitrile platform with established cleanroom market adoption.
If your workflow requires sterile glove transfer into ISO 5 operations, evaluate sterile glove options validated for that use case and align them to your CCS and gowning SOP.
11) Program fit
Ansell + SOSCleanroom: SOSCleanroom focuses on best-in-class glove lines for critical environments and does not compromise glove quality to chase short-term cost savings. Cleanroom operators live with the consequences of poor glove selection: contamination events, rejected lots, and rework. This is why Ansell remains a preferred glove platform for many ISO-classified operations.
Matching the glove to the ISO 5 consumables stack: Gloves are one part of the contamination control system. For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. In ISO 5 operations, customers commonly pair CE5-512 with:
  • Texwipe AlphaWipe® TX1009 (ISO Class 4–5 wiper family): A widely used low-linting baseline for controlled wiping steps. (Nothing is truly lint-free.)
  • Texwipe CleanFoam® Series B swabs (example: TX742B): Cleanroom processed and lot coded for traceability; thermal bond construction eliminates adhesive contamination; contamination characteristics (ions and NVR) are published for the Series B platform.
  • Validated cleaning/disinfection rotation where required: If you operate under aseptic expectations, your CCS may include a documented disinfectant strategy (including sporicidal use/rotation where applicable) and technician-focused handling discipline.
Procurement signal: CE5-512 is available in standard sizes (XS through XL) and a consistent 1,000-glove case configuration. That supports steady-state consumption planning, auto-ship scheduling, and audit-ready inventory controls.
