Ansell HyFlex® 11-819 ESD Nitrile Foam Coated Gloves - SOSCleanroom Standard Specification
Ansell HyFlex® 11-819 ESD is an 18-gauge, touchscreen-compatible industrial handling glove designed for dexterity, grip, and electrostatic-discharge (ESD) control. Its knitted nylon, spandex, and carbon liner is paired with a thin FORTIX™ foam nitrile palm coating. Certified to EN 16350:2014, it is used for electronics handling, inspection, and precision assembly in ESD-controlled operations when approved by the facility's ESD control program.
Selection note: Choose 11-819 when both electrostatic control and fine-part handling matter. ESD suitability does not itself establish cleanroom processing, sterility, or an ISO cleanroom classification.

Where HyFlex 11-819 Fits in ESD-Controlled Work Areas (and Why)
Electrostatic discharge can affect sensitive components during ordinary handling. An ESD Protected Area (EPA) manages those risks through a coordinated system of personnel grounding, worksurfaces, flooring, handling methods, and verification. ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340-5-1 are program-level references; a glove's individual ESD certification is not a substitute for evaluating the whole system.
HyFlex 11-819 combines an ESD-oriented liner with an ultra-thin nitrile foam palm coating so operators can maintain tactile control without routinely removing gloves to operate touchscreens, scanners, and work-instruction terminals. FORTIX™ technology is promoted by Ansell for enhanced grip and durability, while ZONZ™ Comfort Fit knitwork supports comfortable repetitive handling.
Typical program fit: Electronics assembly, inspection, quality assurance, precision handling, and logistics tasks involving ESD-sensitive devices, where glove performance has been assessed in the facility's EPA program.
An EN 16350 rating does not qualify the glove for every EPA, define its resistance when worn, or certify it as cleanroom-compatible. Follow the ESD coordinator's approved glove selection and test procedures.
About the Manufacturer:
Ansell manufactures protective gloves for industrial, medical, laboratory, and specialized work environments. Its HyFlex® range focuses on task-specific combinations of dexterity, grip, mechanical protection, and comfort. For 11-819 ESD, Ansell identifies EN 16350:2014 electrostatic properties, EN 388 mechanical performance, and touchscreen-compatible handling as key attributes.
SOSCleanroom supplies Ansell products with support for correct size and packaging selection, application questions, and sourcing consistency. Technical suitability and program acceptance should be confirmed against current Ansell documentation and the facility's requirements.
HyFlex 11-819 Features:
- EN 16350:2014 ESD-certified glove construction
- 18-gauge nylon/spandex/carbon knitted liner
- FORTIX™ foam nitrile palm coating with a knitwrist cuff
- Touchscreen-compatible fingertips and high-tactility design

- OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and Dermatest® recognition as listed by Ansell
HyFlex 11-819 Benefits:
- ESD-focused handling: EN 16350 certification supports selection for documented electrostatic-control applications; site verification is still required.
- Fine-part control: Thin, 18-gauge construction helps operators perform dexterous inspection and assembly tasks.
- Grip and durability: Ansell describes FORTIX™ technology as providing 2x more grip and up to 20% more durability under its comparison conditions; results depend on the task.
- Digital workstation efficiency: Touchscreen compatibility can reduce glove removal when operating tablets, scanners, and terminals.
- Comfort in repeat work: ZONZ™ knitwork is designed to relieve strain in stress-prone areas.
Common Applications:
- Handling ESD-sensitive electronics and assemblies in approved EPA workflows
- Quality inspection and precision assembly
- General handling, mounting, and dismantling tasks
- Machine-tool operation where the assigned hazard assessment permits this glove
- Warehouse and logistics handling of electronics and sensitive equipment
- Touchscreen workstations and handheld scanning devices
Best-Practice Use:
- Verify the EPA setup: Use only with approved grounding, worksurface, flooring, and verification controls.
- Fit correctly: Choose a snug but comfortable size so loose fingertips do not interfere with part handling.
- Inspect before use: Replace gloves with tears, deteriorating coatings, heavy contamination, or compromised grip.
- Control contamination: Keep unapproved tapes, adhesives, lotions, and residues away from glove and workstation contact areas.
- Follow site testing: Apply the facility's ESD compliance verification schedule and test methods; do not assume glove certification verifies the complete personnel-grounding path.
- Use only for assessed hazards: Do not treat these gloves as electrical shock insulation, general chemical protection, or cleanroom gloves without separate qualification.
Selection Notes (HyFlex 11-819 vs. Other Options)
- ESD-rated vs. non-ESD handling gloves: Select 11-819 where the site's qualification requires EN 16350 electrostatic properties; do not assume ordinary nitrile-coated gloves offer equivalent performance.
- Industrial ESD vs. cleanroom gloves: If low particles, extractables, or sterility are mandatory, qualify a glove specifically designed and documented for that controlled environment.
- Mechanical protection: 11-819 is for light-duty precision handling. Confirm EN 388 / ANSI ratings against actual abrasion, cut, puncture, and task hazards before selecting a higher-protection option.

Recommended ESD Workstation Pairings for HyFlex 11-819
The Ansell HyFlex® 11-819 is an industrial ESD handling glove. Pair it with grounded and verified ESD workstation components according to the EPA's procedures; a single ESD-labeled product does not independently establish compliance for a workstation or operator.
Additional Verification and Maintenance Options:
Workflow note: ESD performance, cleanroom contamination control, and personnel electrical safety are distinct requirements. Qualify each separately.
