Cleanroom Gloves
nitrile cleanroom gloves class 100
| Material and finish | Powder-free nitrile; textured fingertips; beaded cuff |
|---|---|
| Cleanroom selection | Class 100 / ISO 5 compatibility supported by the selected product's glove data |
| Hand sizes | XS, S, M, L, XL; XXL in selected constructions |
| Nominal flat palm width (mm) | 75, 85, 95, 105, 115 or 125, according to size |
| Total glove length (mm) | 300 nominal; minimum length and tolerance specified in the order |
| Single-wall thickness (mm) | Palm 0.11; fingertip 0.17 in one construction, with other thicknesses by selection |
| Sterility | Non-sterile for non-aseptic work; sterile presentation only with separate validation |
| Packing and traceability | Nested cleanroom PE bags; size identification and traceable lot |
Class 100 / ISO 5 describes the intended cleanliness context. Acceptance requires the selected glove's relevant test results and your process qualification; it does not establish sterility or chemical protection.
The glove size mix, approved cuff construction and pack arrangement can be customized for your Class 100 workflow and transfer procedure.
Class 100 nitrile glove selection starts with the contamination sensitivity of the operation. The glove must arrive clean, fit the wearer and remain suitable through the approved transfer and handling procedure.
Read the room class and the glove evidence separately
Class 100 is the legacy terminology commonly associated with an ISO 5 cleanroom. Room classification concerns airborne particles. Glove evaluation concerns what the glove releases or transfers, how intact its barrier is and whether its construction is suitable for the task. A room particle count cannot substitute for a glove test report.
ISO 23464 specifically addresses nitrile cleanroom gloves for several ISO classes. When conformity to a glove specification is required, request evidence for the proposed product rather than inferring it from the words “Class 100” on a quotation.
Compare the evidence on equal terms
Particle release
Check the particle threshold, extraction method and reporting unit. A result expressed per glove and one expressed per square centimetre cannot be compared just by taking the smaller number.
Extractable substances
Identify the substances your process limits. A low total particle result does not describe ionic contamination, non-volatile residues or everything that could transfer to a sensitive surface.
Barrier and use condition
Check the integrity evidence and the intended operation. Cleanliness compatibility does not establish resistance to a cleaning chemical, a sharp edge or repeated high-force gripping.
Protect cleanliness through the bag opening
Nested bags allow packaging layers to be removed at the designated boundaries. That benefit is lost if an outer carton is brought to a critical bench or a contaminated surface touches the inner pack. Decide where each layer is removed and how a partly used bag will be kept between withdrawals.
Choose a pack quantity that fits consumption and the site's approved holding procedure. A very large bag may be inconvenient when only a small quantity is needed at an infrequently used station.
Approve the complete working arrangement
Check donning, sleeve overlap, finger movement and the intended component contact during a controlled trial. Include the disinfectant exposure only if that combination is permitted and evaluated; wiping a glove does not turn an unspecified non-sterile product into a validated sterile one.
For broader material selection, see cleanroom gloves class 100. Send the process limits and current approved glove specification to shengtongJH so the proposed supply can be compared against the same requirements.
