- What it is. These accelerator-free nitrile gloves are Ansell Nitrilite 93-401, a non-sterile, powder-free glove for Class 10 (ISO 4) cleanrooms. The nitrile is formulated without latex proteins or chemical accelerators, and Ansell reports very low ionic content and particulate levels. Each glove has textured fingers and a powder-free interior. LabPro lists six glove sizes from X-Small through 2X-Large, with 1,000 gloves in every case, plus an extra 2X-Large SKU.
- Why it matters. Type I and Type IV allergic reactions have different triggers: latex proteins for the first and curing accelerators for the second. Ansell removes both from the 93-401 formulation, which can matter for staff who have reacted to other gloves in the past. The low ionic content and particulate levels also suit work where residue counts, and Ansell lists life sciences and electronics as target applications for this glove.
- How it performs. Freedom from holes is held to a 1.5 AQL. The interior is powder-free and chlorinated, and the glove measures 300 mm (12 inches) long, with a palm of about 4.3 mil and fingers of about 5.1 mil. Ansell lists conformity to EN ISO 374-1 and 374-5, Category III, and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, and the glove is made under ISO 9001:2015 quality management. The cuff is beaded, the fingers are textured, and the color is natural.
- Materials and packing. Gloves are packed 50 to an inner bag, with two inner bags per master polybag and ten master polybags per liner bag, for a total of 1,000 gloves per case. The material is nitrile with no natural rubber latex. Because the glove is non-sterile, it controls particles rather than microorganisms, so pair it with a sterile glove where aseptic work is required. Ansell recommends it for cleanroom cleaning and preparation.
Applications / Common Uses
- Cleanroom cleaning and preparing. Ansell recommends the glove for this task, where the Class 10 (ISO 4) rating and low particulate levels protect the room.
- Life sciences work. Ansell lists life sciences as an application, and the accelerator-free formulation lowers allergy risk for staff gloved all day.
- Electronics handling. Ansell lists electronics as an application, and the low ionic content helps limit residues on sensitive surfaces.
- Biotechnology and medical device settings. Biotechnology and medical device settings are listed uses, where non-sterile cleanroom gloves control particles during handling.
- Staff with prior glove reactions. The formulation is free of latex proteins and accelerators to reduce the risk of Type I and Type IV allergic reactions.
