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.

Test method context (as published): particle metric references IEST-RP-CC005.4; dimensional targets reference EN 420 / ASTM D3767; AQL references EN 455-1 and ASTM D5151; tensile references ASTM D412. 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.

Build a best-in-class ISO 5 consumables set
SOSCleanroom does not compromise on glove quality in critical environments. Ansell is our best-in-class glove line for customers who need consistent controlled-environment performance and documentation discipline. To reduce overall contamination risk in ISO 5 spaces, match your glove choice with the appropriate wiping and cleaning materials for the same environment.
Texwipe pairing suggestion (ISO 5-aligned wiping)
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. For ISO Class 5 wiping, many customers standardize on Texwipe AlphaWipe® TX1009/TX1009B polyester wipers for general cleaning and spill control, where a low-linting wipe is required (note: no wiper is truly lint-free).

Latex in ISO 5 Work: When Tactile Performance Helps—and When Sensitization and Program Controls Must Be Explicit
The Technical Vault By SOSCleanroom
ISO 14644 Personnel Controls ISO 5 / Class 100 Operations Tactile Sensitivity Residue & Particle Risk Awareness Allergen / Sensitization Controls
Ansell CE5-512 Microflex® Cleanroom Latex Gloves — what this ISO 5 glove is designed to control

Ansell CE5-512 Microflex® cleanroom latex gloves are positioned for Class 100 / ISO 5 and cleaner environments when processes benefit from the tactile performance and elasticity of latex during precision handling, assembly, inspection, and fine cleaning tasks.

Latex can be an excellent tool for dexterity-driven work, but it must be deployed with clear program controls. The two primary controls to manage explicitly are: allergen/sensitization risk (personnel and facility policy) and substitution control (latex vs nitrile performance differences).

Operations takeaway: Latex gloves can improve handling precision, but only when allergen controls and glove selection boundaries are written into the SOP.

ISO-first context: personnel are the dominant contamination source

ISO 14644 operations guidance emphasizes that personnel are a primary contamination source and that cleaning/handling outcomes are strongly influenced by behavior and method discipline. Gloves are the boundary layer between operators and controlled surfaces. What matters operationally: defined donning technique, controlled touch points, and defined glove change triggers to prevent progressive loading and residue transfer.

USP-influenced environments add a similar expectation for repeatability and documentation. Even when sterility is not required, glove-derived residues and handling variability can degrade inspection outcomes and cleaning validation confidence.

Program control note: Latex use should be explicitly permitted by facility policy. If latex is restricted, lock the approved nitrile alternative in the SOP and procurement.

Best-practice use (precision handling, allergen controls, and glove change strategy)

Best practice starts with facility policy: confirm latex is permitted for the work area and that personnel allergen controls are in place. If latex is approved, don gloves according to gowning SOP without snapping or over-stretching. Treat the glove exterior as a controlled surface: hands remain within the defined work zone and avoid contact with carts, drawers, keyboards, phones, or gown surfaces.

Define glove change triggers clearly: after leaving the work zone, after touching non-controlled surfaces, after solvent-heavy tasks, after defined time intervals (risk-based), and immediately after any integrity compromise or visible soiling.

Typical cleanroom failures and how to avoid them (ISO & USP perspective)
  • Allergen policy gap: Latex used in an area where it is restricted. Prevention: facility policy and SOP boundary rules; approved alternatives listed.
  • Unapproved substitutions: Latex swapped for nitrile without evaluation. Prevention: "no substitution without written approval."
  • Residue transfer from extended wear: Progressive glove loading. Prevention: time- and task-based glove change intervals.
  • Particles introduced during donning: Snapping or poor technique. Prevention: trained donning discipline and audits.
  • Technique drift: Different outcomes across shifts. Prevention: "hands in zone" rules and clear touch-point controls.
Suggested companion products and technical rationale

Defensible pairing principle: Standardizing glove + swab + wiper + solution reduces operator-driven variability and strengthens SOP repeatability. For latex programs, add explicit allergen controls and approved alternative SKUs.
