The Mapa Ultranitril 480 are a nitrile chemical handling glove with an extended cuff length, designed for use during heavy cleaning tasks where staff need protection from chemical splash, detergents, and cleaning agents. The flexible nitrile construction provides a good level of dexterity, which matters when staff are working quickly through end-of-service cleaning routines rather than standing still at a sink.

The chlorinated inner lining makes these gloves considerably easier to pull on and remove, particularly when hands are damp — a practical detail that makes a real difference at the end of a busy service. The embossed exterior surface maintains grip on wet, oily, or slippery objects, and the gloves are silicone-free, which is worth noting for kitchens that work with glass or polished metal surfaces where silicone contamination can cause finishing defects.

For workplaces where compliance documentation is required, these gloves are certified to EN 374 for chemical protection, EN 388 for mechanical risks, and EN 420 for general protective glove requirements.

• Suitable for dishwashing, deep cleaning, and chemical handling tasks
• Extended cuff gives additional forearm protection during heavy cleaning
• Silicone-free construction avoids contamination on glass or metal surfaces
• Chlorinated lining allows quick donning and removal during busy service periods

These are a practical everyday choice for most commercial kitchen cleaning operations. Sold as one pair, available in sizes 7 (Small), 8 (Medium), and 9 (Large). If you're equipping a full brigade or need to assess the right size split for your team, we're happy to advise.

The Mapa MAP glove is a general-purpose cleaning and maintenance glove constructed from a combination of neoprene and natural latex. It is designed to provide a reliable barrier during routine cleaning tasks, handling of cleaning chemicals, and light maintenance work in commercial kitchen environments.

In day-to-day kitchen use, gloves of this type are typically called upon during end-of-service cleans, degreasing work, and general janitorial tasks. The neoprene and natural latex construction offers a reasonable level of resistance to common cleaning agents and provides a degree of grip when handling wet or slippery surfaces.

• Neoprene and natural latex construction for chemical resistance during cleaning tasks
• Suitable for routine kitchen cleaning, degreasing, and general maintenance
• Available in small, medium, and large to suit different hand sizes
• Sold singly, allowing replacement of individual gloves as needed

It is worth noting that this glove is intended for general cleaning and maintenance rather than specialist chemical handling. If your site uses particularly aggressive cleaning compounds or requires certified chemical protection to a specific EN standard, it is worth confirming suitability before relying on these gloves for that purpose.

This glove suits kitchens of any size where staff need basic hand protection during cleaning shifts. It is a practical, everyday option for general back-of-house use rather than a specialist safety glove.

If you have questions about which glove specification is appropriate for the cleaning products used in your kitchen, our team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

The Mapa Alto 405 is a heavy-duty janitorial glove constructed from neoprene and natural latex, designed to provide reliable liquid-proof protection when working with industrial cleaning chemicals. The two-material construction combines the chemical resistance of neoprene with the flexibility and grip of natural latex, making these gloves a practical choice for routine cleaning tasks in commercial kitchen and hospitality environments.

In daily kitchen use, these gloves hold up well across the range of tasks that cleaning staff face — from degreasing kitchen surfaces and equipment to handling chemical sanitisers, drain cleaners, and dishwasher chemicals. The liquid-proof construction means cleaning staff are properly protected during prolonged contact with wet or chemical-heavy tasks, which is particularly relevant in high-throughput kitchens where cleaning schedules are demanding.

• Liquid-proof barrier suitable for use with industrial cleaning chemicals
• Neoprene and natural latex construction balances protection with dexterity
• Available in medium, large, and extra-large to suit different hand sizes
• Colour-coded blue and yellow to support cleaning protocol compliance
• Heavy-duty build suitable for repeated daily use in commercial kitchens

It is worth noting that these gloves are intended for janitorial and cleaning use rather than food handling. Anyone with a latex sensitivity should not use these gloves, as they contain natural latex. Sizing matters for both comfort and safety — an ill-fitting glove reduces dexterity and increases the risk of accidents, so it is worth checking hand measurements against the available sizes before ordering in bulk.

If you are equipping a team and unsure how many pairs to stock or whether this specification suits your cleaning chemical regime, we are happy to help you work that out.

The Mapa Vital 117 is a light-duty latex janitorial glove designed for routine cleaning tasks in catering and food service environments. The liquid-proof construction keeps hands protected during everyday wet work, and the blue colouring supports colour-coded cleaning protocols commonly used in commercial kitchens to prevent cross-contamination between areas.

At 50g, these are lightweight and comfortable enough for extended use without causing hand fatigue — a practical consideration when cleaning duties are spread across a full shift. The latex material provides a reasonable level of dexterity for handling cloths, brushes, and spray bottles without the bulk of heavier-duty alternatives.

• Liquid-proof construction protects hands during wet cleaning tasks
• Blue colour supports colour-coded hygiene zoning
• Lightweight latex build allows comfortable extended wear
• Suitable for general surface cleaning, wiping down equipment, and handling cleaning chemicals at light-duty concentrations

These gloves are suited to front-of-house cleaning, bar and counter wiping, and general kitchen hygiene routines. They are not designed for heavy chemical handling or tasks involving sharp implements — for those applications, a thicker or cut-resistant glove would be more appropriate.

Available in size 7 (medium), size 8 (large), and size 9 (extra large). If you are equipping a larger team or are unsure which glove specification suits your cleaning regime, we are happy to help you choose the right option.

The Mapa Vital 115 is a light-duty latex janitorial glove designed for routine cleaning tasks in commercial kitchens and food service environments. The pink colouring supports colour-coded cleaning protocols, helping staff distinguish these gloves from those used in food preparation or other designated areas.

Made from latex, these gloves provide a reasonable liquid barrier for everyday tasks such as wiping down surfaces, handling cleaning chemicals, and general kitchen hygiene work. They are not intended for heavy-duty or prolonged chemical exposure — for more demanding applications, a thicker or chemically resistant glove would be more appropriate.

Practical benefits for day-to-day kitchen use include:

• Liquid-proof construction keeps hands dry during routine cleaning
• Pink colour supports colour-coded hygiene systems
• Lightweight latex construction allows reasonable dexterity for general tasks
• Available in medium and large to suit different staff
• Low cost per pair makes them practical for regular replacement

These gloves are well suited to front-of-house and back-of-house cleaning teams in cafés, restaurants, care homes, and similar sites where a disposable or frequently replaced light-duty glove is required for general janitorial work. Sites with more intensive cleaning regimes or stronger chemical use should consider a heavier-duty alternative from the range.

If you are unsure which glove specification is right for your cleaning protocols, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Mapa Krytech 838 is a cut resistant protective glove designed specifically for food industry use. The long-cuff construction extends coverage beyond the wrist to offer additional forearm protection — a practical feature when working with blades, mandolines, or other sharp-edged equipment during prep.

In a busy kitchen environment, gloves need to hold up through repeated use and regular cleaning cycles without deteriorating quickly. The Krytech 838 is washable at 90°C for up to 20 cycles, which makes it straightforward to maintain hygiene standards without running through pairs frequently. The silicone-free construction is worth noting for food preparation contexts where silicone contamination is a concern.

• Long-cuff design provides forearm coverage beyond standard glove length
• Silicone-free construction suitable for direct food contact environments
• Washable at 90°C, supporting commercial hygiene and laundering routines
• Rated for cut resistance, reducing injury risk during prep work

These gloves are well suited to prep kitchens, butchery, fish preparation, and any role involving regular handling of sharp equipment. They are available in sizes 6 (Small), 7 (Medium), and 8 (Large) — selecting the correct fit is important both for comfort and for maintaining the protective properties of the glove. A glove that is too loose can bunch and reduce dexterity; one that is too tight may limit movement and wear more quickly.

If you are outfitting a team and need guidance on sizing or volume requirements, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Mapa Ultrane 641 is a nitrile-coated precision work glove designed for tasks where dexterity and grip matter as much as protection. The glove uses a RESICOMFORT coating — a breathable, flexible nitrile formulation — that allows it to conform closely to the hand without the stiffness that makes some protective gloves impractical for fine or repetitive work. It is approved for contact with all food types under European Regulation (EC) 1935/2004, making it appropriate for food preparation and handling environments.

In a commercial kitchen context, these gloves are most useful for light to medium-duty tasks where bare-hand sensitivity is normally preferred but some protection or grip assistance is needed — vegetable prep, portioning, plating support, or handling equipment with awkward surfaces. The breathable construction helps with comfort during longer-wearing periods, which is relevant in kitchens where glove use is continuous across a service.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Washable and reusable, which reduces per-use cost compared to disposable alternatives
• Touchscreen-compatible fingertips allow device use without removal
• Food-safe construction compliant with EC 1935/2004
• Flexible nitrile coating supports grip on both dry and lightly damp surfaces
• Available in size 7 (Medium) and size 8 (Large) — select from the drop-down

These are not cut-resistant or heat-resistant gloves and should not be used where either protection type is required. They are also a single-pair product, so kitchens with high glove turnover may want to consider buying in quantity.

If you are unsure whether these are the right glove type for your specific tasks, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Mapa Ultranitril 377 gauntlets are a pair of extended-length chemical protective gloves made from 100% synthetic rubber. They are designed to protect the hands and lower forearms from contact with oils, acids, solvents, and other potentially harmful substances encountered during cleaning and chemical handling tasks.

In a commercial kitchen environment, staff regularly handle concentrated cleaning chemicals, degreasers, and sanitising agents that can cause skin irritation or more serious harm with repeated exposure. These gauntlets provide a practical barrier for those tasks, particularly during deep cleaning sessions, dishwash area work, or when handling drain treatments and descaling solutions. The extended cuff length offers more forearm coverage than a standard latex glove, which is useful when working with buckets or sinks filled with chemical solutions.

• Protects against oils, acids, solvents, and chemical cleaning agents
• Extended gauntlet length covers the forearm during immersion tasks
• Synthetic rubber construction resists degradation from common kitchen chemicals
• Textured grip aids control when handling wet or slippery surfaces
• Suitable for repeated use across cleaning shifts

These are a standard consumable item for any kitchen where chemical cleaning protocols are followed. They are available in sizes M and L, each sold as a single pair, so if your team requires larger quantities for shift use, it is worth checking whether the pack format suits your operation before ordering.

If you are unsure which glove specification is appropriate for the chemicals in use at your site, or need to discuss bulk requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Mapa Temp Ice 700 is a cold-resistant protective glove designed for handling duties in low-temperature environments. Constructed from 100% synthetic rubber, the glove is intended to provide hand protection during work in cold stores, walk-in freezers, or any task that involves prolonged contact with chilled or frozen goods.

In a commercial kitchen context, these gloves are most commonly used by staff working in refrigerated storage areas or handling frozen product during prep. They offer a reasonable balance of grip and flexibility for their category, allowing operators to handle packaged goods, trays, and containers without the clumsiness associated with heavier insulated mitts.

• Protects hands during cold store and freezer work
• Synthetic rubber construction provides a reliable grip on chilled surfaces
• Maintains dexterity for general handling tasks in low-temperature areas
• Suitable for regular use during goods-in, stock rotation, and frozen prep work

These gloves are available in sizes M and L, so you can choose the right fit for staff with varying hand sizes. Cold-environment gloves are not a substitute for cut-resistant or heat-resistant PPE; ensure the right glove type is matched to each task in your kitchen.

Well suited to smaller catering operations, food retail environments, and any site where staff regularly access refrigerated or frozen storage. For sites with more demanding cold-chain handling requirements or extended freezer exposure, a heavier insulated glove may offer better protection.

The Mapa Titan 850 is a heavy duty protective glove designed for handling tasks that involve exposure to liquids, rough surfaces, or contaminants. Made from 100% synthetic rubber, the glove provides a liquid-proof barrier across the hand while maintaining enough dexterity for practical use in food handling, cleaning, and waste management environments.

In a busy commercial kitchen or food production setting, gloves take a considerable amount of abuse. The Titan 850 addresses this with reinforced sections across the upper thumb, knuckles, base of the fingers, and palm — the areas most prone to wear during heavy or repetitive handling. This targeted reinforcement extends the working life of the glove without adding unnecessary bulk.

Key practical advantages include:

• Liquid-proof synthetic rubber construction resists spills and contaminants
• Reinforced palm and knuckle areas for extended durability under regular use
• Suitable for wet or contaminated handling tasks in kitchen and cleaning roles
• Available in sizes L and XL to suit different hand sizes without restricting movement

These gloves are well suited to kitchen porters, cleaning staff, and food production operatives who need reliable hand protection throughout a shift. They are a practical everyday option rather than a specialist chemical-resistant glove, so operators working with strong cleaning agents or hazardous substances should confirm the Titan 850's suitability for their specific chemicals before use.

Available in sizes L and XL. Select your size from the drop-down menu.

The MAPA Vital 124 is a light-duty janitorial glove designed for routine cleaning tasks in commercial and catering environments. Yellow-coloured for easy colour-coding compliance, these gloves provide a liquid-proof barrier suitable for general-purpose cleaning work where a full chemical-resistant glove would be unnecessary.

In a busy kitchen environment, staff are handling cleaning chemicals, wiping down surfaces, and dealing with food waste throughout the day. A glove at this duty level suits those tasks well — it keeps hands dry and protected during everyday cleaning without the bulk or cost of a heavier industrial glove. The fit is close enough to allow reasonable dexterity for tasks like wringing cloths or handling cleaning equipment.

Practical benefits include:

• Liquid-proof construction keeps hands dry during general cleaning
• Yellow colour supports kitchen colour-coding systems
• Lightweight and flexible for routine janitorial tasks
• Suitable for use with mild cleaning agents and detergents
• Disposable-friendly sizing supports hygiene protocols

These are light-duty gloves, and that distinction matters. They are not suited to handling concentrated chemicals, prolonged immersion, or heavy-duty degreasing work — for those tasks, a heavier chemical-resistant glove would be more appropriate. Stock levels across multiple sizes is worth considering if you are equipping a full team.

The Vital 124 is well suited to catering assistants, front-of-house cleaning staff, and general porters carrying out day-to-day hygiene tasks. Sites with more demanding chemical handling requirements should consider a higher-specification option from the range.
