New thinner but stronger Nitrile gloves

Published: 29-Oct-2008

Kimberly-Clark Professional has introduced Kimtech Pure Sterling Nitrile G3 and G5 Cleanroom Gloves. The G3 Glove is suitable for Critical (Class 10) cleanroom environments while the G5 Glove is suitable for Controlled (Class 100) cleanroom environments. Both are for use in semiconductor, flat panel, electronics, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device manufacturing.

Kimtech Pure Sterling Nitrile is a new platform in nitrile glove technology that allows the production of gloves with a tip thickness of only 0.09 mm but with excellent tensile strength. The patented physical properties of the glove offer the fit and feel of latex while providing the chemical and mechanical protection of nitrile.

Eliminating employee exposure to latex helps to reduce employee lost-time and employer health costs due to allergic reactions. The gloves have a beaded cuff for added strength and ease in donning. Their textured fingertips offer excellent tactile sensitivity for easy handling of delicate instruments. The ambidextrous gloves are static dissipative in use.

All gloves are double-bagged to maintain cleanliness. The new gloves also provide environmental benefits because the packaging provides 50 % more gloves per case. The packaging gives users approximately 33% more storage space and reduces waste packaging by 50%.
