Gloves for a Variety of High-Tech Industries
Clean room gloves are used for a variety of applications and industries, including medical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, life science, small-parts manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and clean manufacturing. Even certain applications within the same cleanroom may require a specific glove. Various controlled environments carry specific requirements for gloves. Sterile cleanrooms will likely have to follow USP797/UPS800 guidelines, which require ASTM chemo-rated gloves and sometimes Sterile Gloves. Different classes of cleanrooms also have their own recommendations for gloves. Higher-level cleanrooms such as ISO 3, 4 & 5 (formerly Class 1, 10, and 100) would likely need the gloves to be specifically designated for use in those environments.
