Cleanroom Gloves & Vendor Selection: Recommended Practices
Cleanroom Gloves & Vendor Selection: Recommended Practices
Overview
Gloves are the most frequently used cleanroom consumable and act as the direct barrier between operators and critical products. Their primary function is to protect products and processes from contamination while ensuring operator safety and comfort during extended wear periods.
Selecting the right gloves requires balancing protection and comfort. Gloves must fit well, provide sufficient dexterity, and comply with contamination control standards to minimize particle shedding and chemical residue.
In Chapter 2, you will learn:
- The critical role gloves play in contamination control
- Key performance criteria for cleanroom gloves
- Challenges in balancing glove cleanliness with operator comfort
- How to interpret testing methods and certification data
“Selecting a glove that is both clean—to prevent product cross-contamination—and comfortable—to drive operator efficiency—is mission critical.”
— Jan Eudy, Cleanroom and Contamination Control Consultant
