Cleanroom Glove Covid-Impact White Paper And Survey Reveal Alarming Results, Offer Solutions.
There is little doubt that the global market chaos is compromising cleanroom glove standards and challenging SOP compliance in your controlled environments.
COVID has interrupted supply chains and disrupted manufacturing production/quality control on a global scale. Faced with these challenges, some are responding by substituting subpar materials (filler) into their product without any product change notifications.
These deviations can jeopardize the integrity of your cleanroom gloves and controlled environments, putting your organization at risk whenever gloves make critical product or process contact.
A recent survey of cleanrooms in the US uncovered these shocking statistics:
- Over 66% said COVID has affected their organization very significantly
- Over 63% said there has been a time in the last twelve months they were stocked out of gloves
- Over 90% reported they have had to source alternate gloves
- More than 81% of respondents have observed a change in their incumbent glove.
