Cleanroom Gloves
anti-static cleanroom gloves
| Glove candidates | Qualified nitrile or vinyl barrier constructions; material alone does not establish static performance |
|---|---|
| Hand-size options | XS–XXL selected nitrile families; S–XL vinyl options |
| Total length options (mm) | 300 or 305 according to the approved family |
| Nominal nitrile flat palm widths (mm) | 75 / 85 / 95 / 105 / 115 / 125 |
| Surface and fit | Smooth or textured working area; close usable fit with the selected cuff |
| Static assessment | Application-specific charging behaviour and relevant glove/wearer resistance data |
| Conditions to record | Humidity, conditioning, approved surface treatment and layer arrangement |
| Clean supply | Product-qualified cleanliness, traceable lot and cleanroom packaging |
Anti-static is not a universal resistance rating or a claim of electrical insulation. Acceptance must describe the behaviour needed in your actual controlled-handling operation.
The glove material, size assortment and packaging selection can be customized for your approved static-control and contamination-control procedure.
Anti-static cleanroom glove selection concerns how charge develops and relaxes during the actual handling operation. The intended behaviour must be supported by evidence for the selected glove, wearer and work environment.
Separate charge generation from charge dissipation
Handling materials can generate charge through contact and separation. A useful glove arrangement also needs an appropriate way for charge to relax within the site's control system. These are related questions, but one resistance value cannot describe every interaction with every tray, part or tool.
Start with the real sequence: taking a component from a pack, placing it in a fixture and returning it to a carrier. Identify the surfaces that meet the glove and the point at which the item is most sensitive. The word “anti-static” should lead to a defined requirement rather than replace one.
Watch the conditions that can change performance
The environment
Compare data obtained under relevant conditioning and humidity. A result from one environment should not be assumed to describe all operating conditions.
The working surface
Approved cleaning exposure, residues and material contact can change the surface involved in the task. Do not add an unqualified coating or treatment to a glove to solve a static issue.
The wearing arrangement
Fit and additional layers affect how the glove works with the person. Evaluate a new liner or inner glove as a change to the arrangement.
Keep the clean surface requirement intact
A static-control measure must not introduce unacceptable contamination. Evaluate the proposed glove's particle and residue performance alongside the relevant electrical evidence. Do not trade away process cleanliness merely because a material appears to dissipate charge.
Gloves also need to allow calm, repeatable handling. Loose fingers, an unstable cuff or difficult gripping can cause extra contacts and adjustments, changing the very sequence being assessed.
Specify the outcome and control changes
Record the accepted glove, work arrangement and verification method in the site's procedure. Review changes in product family, cleaning exposure or component sensitivity before assuming that the previous selection remains suitable.

Neither description makes these thin cleanroom gloves electrical-insulating PPE, nor does it qualify them for an explosive atmosphere. shengtongJH coordinates sourcing against the documented application requirements.
