What kind of gloves do you guys use for clean room operations?

I have used the standard powder-free (of course 8) ) latex gloves but was looking for something better.

I have seen other people sell nitrile gloves. What kind of material is this? Would this be better for our operations? Pros and cons?

Share yer thoughts :D

I use Nitrile gloves.

I use gloves only sometimes, much of time I use 'Finger Cots' which just cover the fingers. This does not restrict your movement during crucial repairs.

But am interested to see others response here... :)

I started off with powder free latex gloves but I found they actually give off tiny particles of latex as you work, almost like tiny specs of dust. I've since moved to nitrile gloves, they are brilliant. The ones I use are blue, I haven't seen them in any other colour. They do tend to tear fairly easily so be careful when putting them on. I always get a small size so that the fingers tips fit nice and tight.

Same here, but they do tear easily.

I also use some acetone based solvents for cleaning HSA, melts right through the gloves also, this is why I use the finger cots at times :D

It must be interesting to have it eat through the gloves :D Do you want to share what solvent you use?

There are several studies which show that latex gloves can cause ESD damage - especially, but not only, damaging GMR heads (which are very ESD-sensitive). Many of the studies are in books & IEEE papers, but here is a public website which mentions the same thing:

http://www.esdjournal.com/techpapr/glov ... gloves.htm

Therefore I do not allow latex gloves in my lab.

When nitrile gloves (or finger cots) are worn for a few minutes, their hygroscopic nature makes them static dissipative, and currently that is the standard type of glove / finger cot that we use.

Found these guys some time ago http://www.justgloves.co.uk/nitrile-gloves/indigo-nitrile-gloves.aspx. They really work well, and dont seem to make your hands sweat. They are thin enough to have a sensitive feel to them but also have a very fine textured grip to the fingertips which makes them ideal..

+1 for Nitrile.

We buy them in bulk and change after each drive/set of heads.

Agreed, I like these nice purple ones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQD ... ge_o06_s00

I only wish they had ones that were slightly longer up the arms.

Edit: Nevermind, they do make them in 12" length: http://www.amazon.com/Kimberly-Clark-Sa ... tra+medium

In the past I couldn't find these ones in a longer size. :D

I use these from Walmart and they are fine, but my hands get sweaty in them after a while and I wish they were a little shorter in finger length.
