KIMBERLY NITRILE HAND GLOVES provide market-leading barrier protection, strength, and tactile cleanliness for critical environments. Engineered from a highly durable synthetic nitrile polymer, these powder-free, latex-free gloves eliminate the risk of Type I allergies while offering superior resistance to chemical splashes, viruses, and cleanroom contaminants.
Key Features
- Distinctive Color Coding: The iconic purple color allows immediate visual verification of premium barrier protection.
- Latex and Silicone-Free: Contains no natural rubber latex or silicone, drastically minimizing skin allergies and process contamination.
- Enhanced Tactile Grip: Micro-textured fingertips ensure a secure wet or dry hold on delicate instruments.
- Beaded Cuff Design: A reinforced beaded rim adds tear strength during donning and prevents continuous roll-down.
- Anti-Static Performance: Extensively tested to ensure no static disruption to sensitive electronics or specialized laboratory equipment.
- RightCycle Program Eligibility:Fully recyclable through Kimberly-Clark’s environmental program to reduce landfill waste.
Product Specifications
- Material Composition: 100% Highly Durable Synthetic Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR).Â
- Available Lengths: Standard 9.5-inch (240 mm) or extended-coverage Purple Nitrile-Xtraâ„¢ 12-inch (300 mm) variants.Â
- Thickness Profile: Typically 5.5 mil to 5.9 mil palm thickness; up to 6.3 mil finger thickness for heavy-duty barrier needs.Â
- Acceptable Quality Level (AQL): Highly strict AQL of 0.65 to 1.0, vastly exceeding standard ASTM 2.5 requirements for pinhole and defect free manufacturing.Â
- Sterility Available: Offered in both non-sterile exam variants and sterile Class 100 / ISO 4 cleanroom configurations (Kimtech Pure* line).
Product Applications
- Life Sciences & Research: Ideal for demanding academic, clinical, and industrial chemical research laboratories.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used extensively in contamination-free drug formulation and biochemical handling.
- Healthcare & Oncology: Cleared for high-risk medical procedures, infectious disease barriers, and handling specialized cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs.
- Cleanrooms & High-Tech: The sterile Kimtech Pure line provides static-dissipative protection for ISO Class 4 or higher electronic cleanrooms.
- Food Processing: Approved for certified food safety environments where grease and incidental chemical contact happen.
Storage & Handling Instructions
- Environment Conditions: Store in their original packaging in a cool, dry area away from moisture.Â
- Light Mitigation: Shield inventory completely from direct sunlight, specialized fluorescent bulbs, and ambient x-ray machines to stop accelerated polymer degradation.Â
- Chemical Exposure Warning: These are thin-gauge disposable barrier options. If an incidental splash or chemical contact occurs, instantly remove and replace the glove.Â
- Proper Disposal: Utilize dedicated biohazard waste bins if contaminated with hazardous compounds.
Conclusion
KIMBERLY NITRILE HAND GLOVES stand out as an industry-standard choice when failure is not an option. Combining an ultra-low pinhole defect rate (AQL 0.65/1.0) with an eco-friendly recycling path, they deliver a highly secure, reliable balance of environmental sensitivity, heavy-duty barrier compliance, and precise user comfort.
