IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT GLOVES & FINGER COTS
General Information
As cleanroom gloves are the only garments that commonly come into contact
with the product, they have to meet particularly high requirements:
the abrasion and particle permeability should be as low as possible.
the sense of touch should be kept as sensitive as possible.
the transmission of fingerprints due to sweat and grease must be prevented.
Each product has different requirements for the type of glove used. Therefore one
cannot assign a glove to all products or processes. So before choosing cleanroom
gloves and finger cots, we recommend testing a selection to enable you to choose
the glove for your particular requirements.
Powder free = cleanroom compatible?
The term "powder free" has historically been poorly defined across our industry.
There are only vague recommendations available and manufacturers have been
able to use the term "powder free" on the packing without adherence to any
minimum standards.
But the manufacturers of disposable gloves make various efforts during the manufacturing and also during the cleaning process and packing in order to guarantee
a certain "purity".
Area of application for disposable or reusable gloves
For the glove user there is often a question mark over the necessity of using disposable gloves, with their associated lower comfort level – if textile gloves would
also satisfy the demands of the workplace.
Generally for usage in cleanroom conditions it is always better to choose a
powder free, post cleaned glove made from Latex, Nitrile, Vinyl or other synthetic
materials such as PE, Neoprene, etc. Only these skin-tight and AQL tested powder
free disposable gloves guarantee the necessary protection for your products
against contamination caused by human skin.
Where operations and processes require less stringent precautions within cleanrooms then textile gloves may provide the solution. Finally the user has to decide
which gloves will meet his requirements.
We would be pleased to help you to make your choice and to put some
test samples at your disposal.
For our range of disposable gloves we work closely with international leading
manufacturers such as for example Ansell, Kimberly & Clark, Mapa, Nitritex and
Shield Scientific.

Latex gloves normally fit closely and offer an extremely good
sense of touch. They are very flexible and therefore also tear
resistant. For aseptic areas some items are offered in a sterile
version, in pairs and hand specific (= left/right). For cleanroom
applications a minimum length of 11"– 12" should be used,
because the gloves then cover the knitted cuffs of the cleanroom garments. It is also important to have plastic packaging
suitable for cleanrooms – in particular for the sterile versions.
Using a paper packing for gloves, as in those used for medical applications, brings a higher risk of contamination purely
from opening the paper packing.
For special applications we also offer additionally 16" long
gloves.

This alternative is becoming increasingly commonplace because Nitrile gloves have
many advantages. They offer the fit and therefore also the sense of touch of Latex
gloves, they are conductive and do not hold the danger of a possible Latex allergy.
In comparison with Latex and Vinyl gloves, Nitrile gloves are considered to be the
most "clean" or "pure" gloves. Nitrile gloves should also have an appropriate
minimum length. They are also available in sterile form packed in PE bags suitable
for cleanrooms.
For special applications we also offer additionally 16" long gloves.

POWDER FREE VINYL GLOVES
Co-Polymer gloves
Vinyl do not have such a tight fit as Latex or Nitrile gloves. In contrast to the Latex
gloves some of the Vinyl gloves are conductive. They should also have a minimum
length of 11" – 12" and be packed in PE-bags suitable for cleanrooms.
Vinyl gloves are much cheaper than Latex or Nitrile gloves, but generally not as
pure. Some publications have already hinted at possible health risks.

DURACLEAN® GLOVES
DURACLEAN® gloves are a combination made from polyurethane and Lycra and
fulfil highest demands. Besides breathability (and hence higher wearing comfort)
these gloves also have extremely low particles and ions dispersion. Additionally the
outgatting (airborne molecular contamination) is excellent. The ESD capability, the
high elasticity and the nearly zero danger of an allergic reaction completes the
profile. The excellent technical characteristics and extremely high wearing comfort
are unfortunately offset by its high costs, which are shown to be a multiple in a
direct comparison with the classical Latex, Nitril and Vinyl gloves.

GLOVES FOR SPECIAL USAGE
All materials to be used in a cleanroom have to be designed such that the products
enjoy highest possible protection. Contamination, for example caused by personnel, has to be avoided by the usage of appropriate appliances. However, there are
always applications where the safety of the human has to be guaranteed as much
as that of the products.
Beside the parameter of using cleanroom suitable gloves, one of course has to
also look out that the chosen model has characteristics which give the user confidence of not being in any danger of contamination himself.
When using cytotoxins a multitude of factors have to be considered when choosing suitable and safe cleanroom gloves.
What can influence the characteristics of gloves? Besides the mode of operation
for the adopted cytotoxins it is mainly the user, the manufacturing process, the
operating time, the surrounding temperature, as well as cleaning and disinfection
products.
In consequence it is questionable if the current testing method for safety gloves,
for example according EN374, goes far enough.
Other additional tests or studies are sensible and essential. The high toxicity of
cytotoxins and the demanded cleanroom classes don’t allow compromises. Can
the ASTM D 6978-5 help further? Hereby gloves are tested at 35 °C and not room
temperature. Permeation is already started at 0.01 µg and not later at 1.0 µg.
Additional praxis oriented differences mark the above mentioned ASTM directive
as superior to the existing recognised parameters .
More and more manufacturers accepting the challenge to offer cleanroom suitable
gloves for the use with cytotoxins.
Some of them are listed below:
Derma – Shield
SHIELDskin™
P-Zero
Ultimate
Emerald
Nitril Critical
Latex Critical
Purple Nitril Xtra
For questions on the above mentioned models and /or any other products, as for
example the appropriate clothing for working with cytotoxins, please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

GLOVES PACKED IN BOXES
In the less sensitive area outside the cleanroom, the use of gloves packed in a box
(light carton) becomes a possibility – and has the advantage of reduced costs.
In general these gloves are shorter than the gloves suitable for cleanrooms and for
health reasons also powder free.
We offer Latex as well as Nitril versions.

0,65. (This means for the user more safety and better quality).
We can also deliver gloves for laboratory areas, which have the required minimum length of 250 and 260 mm respectively (see EN 374-1:2003 and EN 420

Which chemicals are in use, their concentration and duration of contact

Normaly finger cots are made from Latex or Nitril and give a good sense of touch.
Different models distinguish themselves from each other in material thickness,
which makes them usable for sharp products

Finger cots are used in workplaces with low cleanroom demands.
They are differentiated as follows:
non-conductive finger cots
antistatic finger cots with a maximum surface resistance of 1010 Ohms as
declared by the manufacturer
finger cots with high conductivity, mostly in black, with a surface resistance of
