Glove and Wiper Selection

Your gloves and pre-wetted wiper choices are critical to attaining desires outcomes for your critical environment. It is important that glove and wiper selection match, and that you have the right set. ​
Let's use dinnerware as an example of matched sets. If you are planning an informal super-bowl party for a gang of rowdy teenagers, you won't put out your fine china, crystal stemware, or silver. Paper plates, plastic forks, and plastic cups will be your choice for serving party foods. 
If you are entertaining potential clients and want to make the best impression, then it is the time for the china, crystal, and silver. Paper plates and plastic forks are inferior options and will not achieve your desired objective. ​

Nine and a half-inch, powder free, nitrile gloves are compatible with our Micro Tek, Valutek, polyester wipers. The wipers are knife cut, interlocked and nine by nine inches. Always give equal consideration to your cleanroom glove and your cleanroom wiper. The weakest link is going to be the potential source of contamination in your cleanroom. 

Cleanroom wipers need to have the following qualities to present the best results without contamination.
  • Low particle content of 5 microns or less, found in man-made materials such as polyester.
  • Low electrostatic discharge (ESD) which can also cause contamination. Dry wipers will be hot, with high ESD, unless vacuum sealed. Wet wipers are cool, with low ESD.
  • Edge treatment designed to reduced the particles coming off in the cleanroom. 

Nitrile gloves have certain properties that make them preferable for cleanroom use. 
  • Low ESD
  • High barrier protection
  • Low allergic reaction risk
  • Ease of motion and fatigue relief as nitrile molds to worker's hands. 


Consider matching your cleanroom gloves, and cleanroom wipers, for greatest efficiency and cleanliness. Let us help you match the right products for your needs, download our guide! ​
