Liberty 2570SP Neoprene/Latex Chemical-Resistant Gloves — Flock Lined

Reading a cut level, and why the letter matters

Industrial hand protection is rated to ANSI/ISEA 105, which scores cut resistance A1 to A9 by the gram load required to cut through at a fixed distance — and the scale is not linear. A9 withstands roughly nine times the load of A1, and the jump from A4 to A5 is far larger than A1 to A2. The European equivalent, EN 388, uses letters A–F on a different test, so an EN rating does not map cleanly onto an ANSI level.

ANSI/ISEA 105 also scores abrasion, puncture and, where relevant, impact — which is a separate rating from cut and is the one that matters for back-of-hand protection. OSHA 1910.138 requires hand protection selected for the specific hazard, which is why a cut level alone is not a specification.

⚠ Cut resistance is not cut proof, and no glove rating covers a moving blade drawn under load. Ratings also degrade with wear, contamination and laundering.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Liberty 2570SP?

A flock-lined chemical-resistant glove that blends neoprene over latex, built for the acids-and-caustics side of the chemical chart. It is the classic maintenance and janitorial-chemical format, with neoprene's broad acid and base coverage in a comfortable flock-lined glove.

Does it contain latex?

Yes - it is a neoprene-over-latex construction, so it contains natural rubber latex. It is not suitable for latex-sensitive workers; if latex is a concern in your workplace, choose a nitrile or neoprene-only chemical glove instead.

What chemicals is it for?

Neoprene offers broad resistance to many acids and bases (caustics), which is why the 2570SP suits mixed-hazard maintenance and janitorial chemical work. It is a general-purpose pick rather than a solvent-specific glove - confirm your chemical on the permeation chart.

Why neoprene over latex?

Neoprene provides the acid and base chemical resistance on the working surface, while the latex adds elasticity and fit. The blend aims for broad chemical coverage with good flexibility and grip.

How do I know it protects against my chemical?

Check your specific chemical against the manufacturer's permeation and breakthrough-time data for the 2570SP. Chemical resistance is chemical-specific; a glove excellent for one substance can break through quickly with another.

Is it cut- or heat-resistant?

No - the 2570SP is a chemical-resistant glove. It is not rated for cut or heat protection unless the listing states it; for those hazards use a cut-resistant or heat/welding glove.

What does the flock lining do?

The flocked cotton lining absorbs sweat and makes the glove easier to don and doff during long wear. Note that a flock lining sheds some lint, so it is less suited to cleanroom or precision processes than an unlined glove.

When should I choose nitrile or butyl instead?

For oils, greases, and many solvents, nitrile like the Solvex line fits; for aggressive polar solvents, butyl like the SHOWA 874 is required; and where latex must be avoided, a nitrile or neoprene-only glove. Match the polymer to the chemistry and any allergy concerns.

Is it reusable?

Yes - the 2570SP is a reusable glove. Inspect it before each use and retire it when it shows swelling, cracking, hardening, or discoloration from chemical contact.

What sizes does it come in?

Size and length options for this listing are shown on the linked Amazon product page. A proper fit matters for dexterity and for keeping chemicals from entering at the cuff, so size carefully.

How do I care for it?

Rinse off chemical residue per the safety data sheet, dry inside and out, and store away from heat and sunlight. Retire the glove at the first sign of degradation - a compromised chemical glove no longer protects.

How do I order for a crew?

Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
