You will notice that your fingers are tilted toward the palm and slightly curved inward. Your thumb, on the other hand, will spread in a completely different direction, away from your index finger, and it will more or less be in a loose 'C' shape, known as the 'opposition position'. During the development of the uvex rubiflex S, great importance was placed on ensuring that the protective gloves are adapted to this 'resting shape' that is typical of the hand, so that the wearer is not forced to fight against the uncomfortable stiffness of a "board-like" flat protective glove. Wearing stiff, poorly shaped gloves can lead to early onset fatigue, which over the long-term leads to reduced concentration and increases the likelihood of an accident or near miss. The snug fit of the uvex rubiflex S is critical to ensure protection, hand mobility and comfortable gripping dexterity. ![Ergonomic fit](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/Bt384QVwSkEIjeHi8wc2SOL_kFHlPAX-z0MB_JtGWn0/w:345/h:268/fn:Y3NtXzQ1MC1lcmdvbm9taWMtaGFuZC1zaGFwZV8wZGUzMGE5ODMz:t/cb:2118fd7d23348a539311786d13edc141cacfc7dc/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2dsb3Zlcy80NTAtZXJnb25vbWljLWhhbmQtc2hhcGUuanBnPzE2ODY2NzA4NTI "Ergonomic fit") Areas of application ---------------------- The uvex rubiflex S chemical protection gloves enable precise work thanks to the flexible material, enabling a high level of tactile sensation.

This penetration by hazardous substances at a molecular level is called permeation. For example, the maximum permeation time after contact with chemicals is >480 minutes. More information about handling hazardous substances safely can be found in the relevant safety data sheets. uvex rubiflex chemical protection gloves ------------------------------------------ ![uvex rubiflex S NB27B](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/hqrb06bubyr5p2JCmGc7wrwYUUT6_7mpNC4YrVZC42k/cb:1756915690/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvZjQvZDIvZTAvMTc1NjkxNTY5MC82MDI3MV9mMS5qcGc "uvex rubiflex S NB27B") [uvex rubiflex S NB27B](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/uvex-rubiflex-s-nb27b-60271-UK/) ![uvex rubiflex S XG27B](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/ovqNQRthmgexIpw5fcsCtTO55gwNOdofwrmo067qhSU/cb:1756915599/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvY2MvYjUvZmYvMTc1NjkxNTU5OS82MDU2MF9mMS5qcGc "uvex rubiflex S XG27B") [uvex rubiflex S XG27B](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/uvex-rubiflex-s-xg27b-60560-UK/) ![uvex rubiflex S XG35B](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/g5rNOGlm95BJ0EsVAS3yTjaHY7i7IQfbE7TtlRbxPjY/cb:1756915796/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvZzAvM2MvM2IvMTc1NjkxNTc5Ni82MDU1N19tYWluLmpwZw "uvex rubiflex S XG35B") [uvex rubiflex S XG35B](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/uvex-rubiflex-s-xg35b-60557-UK/) ![HexArmor rubiflex S XG27BI](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/SdJVQPoerJ82O9LQd_iW-o-qUQpbx-vFl1if8-POvw4/cb:1756915598/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvZjQvNDQvMGEvMTc1NjkxNTU5OC82MDcwOC1tYWluLXVrLmpwZw "HexArmor rubiflex S XG27BI") [HexArmor rubiflex S XG27BI](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/hexarmor-rubiflex-s-xg27bi-60708-UK/) ![HexArmor rubiflex S XG35BI](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/-zs1FVY_4YKXKkhG8MUx4BJApbZ60Ky_Gt1uCAuKgRQ/cb:1756915580/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvYjEvYmIvN2QvMTc1NjkxNTU4MC82MDcwOS1tYWluLXVrLmpwZw "HexArmor rubiflex S XG35BI") [HexArmor rubiflex S XG35BI](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/hexarmor-rubiflex-s-xg35bi-60709-UK/) ![uvex rubiflex S NB35S](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/EHBt6TP3rSBqPHNvGFcTLbt_Cx3wClC7lsXVDkc_xDI/cb:1756915774/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvMDYvY2MvMzcvMTc1NjkxNTc3NC85ODg5MV9mMS5qcGc "uvex rubiflex S NB35S") [uvex rubiflex S NB35S](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/uvex-rubiflex-s-nb35s-98891-UK/) ![uvex rubiflex ESD NB35A](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/shop-media/1EQBMel6OXAIxeLm9MrjMNT4-rk3U0QnIl4_Yms627E/cb:1756915781/w:540/h:540/bWVkaWEvYTgvZTUvNDcvMTc1NjkxNTc4MS82MDk1NF9tYWluLmpwZw "uvex rubiflex ESD NB35A") [uvex rubiflex ESD NB35A](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/products/safety-gloves/uvex-rubiflex-esd-nb35a-60954-UK/) --- ### Download the brochure (PDF) [ ![Download the uvex rubiflex brochure](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/YQEpicNWwJojpotNPbojTwTbA1zomBA7Nd4vVNA1FjA/w:345/h:259/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtcnViaWZsZXgtYnJvY2h1cmVfOGQ0NDJkMjFiMg:t/cb:4f72b0ed7b4d8794bbb0a1e7c0c90506ad79394d/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2dsb3Zlcy91dmV4LXJ1YmlmbGV4LWJyb2NodXJlLmpwZz8xNjg1MDA0MjQ4 "Download the uvex rubiflex brochure") ](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.uvex-safety.co.uk/Media/catalogues_and_brochures/uvex-rubiflex-210823.pdf?1692615739) ### Manufacturing in Lüneburg [ ![uvex safety gloves Lüneburg, Germany](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/5bng01L87iY5B_H9V65HfqI5ZuhyE_b1y_kzw3pLQkw/w:345/h:259/fn:Y3NtX2dsb3ZlLW1hbnVmYWN0dXJlLXRlYXNlcl9iMTFjOTMxNDIx:t/cb:28d3d4e60fe37878a2187777a1ae9063a61862a5/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL3RlYXNlci9nbG92ZS1tYW51ZmFjdHVyZS10ZWFzZXIuanBnPzE2ODUwMDQ0OTA "uvex safety gloves Lüneburg, Germany") ](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/safety-gloves-manufacturing/) ### Visit the uvex CES database [ ![visit the uvex CES database](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/IHIngqTk5cLuLeEvGx0NsWtr7UW1fmIMG59EpmfQ8fA/w:345/h:259/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtY2VzLWxvZ2luXzNlMmYxOWVhOGQ:t/cb:43fc015e6cc78d0a8b24fff5d6007c7fbd61bc5e/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL3RlYXNlci91dmV4LWNlcy1sb2dpbi5qcGc_MTU1ODUyMzg5OQ "visit the uvex CES database") ](https://ces.uvex.de/)
