VWR Protection Nitrile Gloves are manufac-
tured from a synthetic copolymer of acry-
lonitrile, butadiene, and methylacrylic acid
(components that comply with FDA CFR 21).
These gloves exhibit high tensile strength and
strong permeation resistance against a wide
variety of solvents, acids, and bases. Non-stain-
ing, non-smudging gloves reduce the risk of
contamination to parts or components being
handled by the user, even during prolonged wear.
To support cleanroom donning protocol, gloves are double-
bagged in sealed polyethylene cleanroom bags (100 per bag,
10 bags per carton liner). Each carton is double-walled. IPA-
resistant ink is used on bag and carton labels.
Gloves are rigorously tested and manufactured in an ISO
Certified facility under stringent process controls to
ensure that each product meets exacting quality stan-
dards and performs to specification.

Latex Allergies
& Protective
Gloves
What You Need to Know
By: Carolina Krevolin, Category Manager,
Scientific Gloves, Kimberly-Clark Professional
There are many different types of glove technologies, and perfor-
mance and comfort are the factors that need to be considered when
selecting a cleanroom glove. Many individuals have latex allergies,
and being aware of these allergy issues is important, especially when
it comes to selecting protective gloves for the workplace.
GLOVE TECHNOLOGY
Cleanroom gloves are typically made from vinyl, natural rubber latex,
nitrile, or chloroprene. The Global Society for Contamination Control
outlines advantages and disadvantages of each:
•
Vinyl
– Known for being very clean, inexpensive, and static
dissipative. However, vinyl gloves retain heat and have poor
moisture vapor transmission.
•
Natural Rubber Latex
– Durable and easy to manufacture.
However, it has no inherent static-dissipative features. Some
people have allergies to the proteins found in natural latex,
which can result in painful rashes.
•
Nitrile
– Offers very good puncture resistance and exhibits
broader chemical resistance than natural latex, especially with
solvents. Nitrile also has very good static dissipative features
not found in natural rubber latex.
•
Chloroprene
– Not widely used in the cleanroom industry,
but has characteristics similar to those of nitrile.
A glove’s material can have a dramatic influence on its comfort. For
example, latex gloves are typically viewed as being more comfortable,
while vinyl gloves tend to be uncomfortable due to the rigid nature of
vinyl. Nitrile gloves are now becoming comfortable, however. In fact,
some suppliers are using new nitrile-based production technologies to
combine the sensitivity of latex with the protection of nitrile for gloves
that provide the best of both worlds.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF LATEX IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Type 1 latex sensitivity develops when genetically predisposed
individuals are repeatedly exposed to natural rubber latex. Symptoms
appear when the exposure reaches an individual’s unique threshold
level. Those with latex sensitivity risk a life-threatening reaction and
should be treated as latex-allergic.
Latex protein sensitivity is on the rise due to repeated exposure to
latex products. In the U.S., the number of those prone to allergies is
currently more than 50 million. A direct link has been made between
a reduction in exposure to latex and a reduction in latex allergy in the
healthcare industry. At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, cases
of latex allergy have dropped from 150 to 27 per 100,000 workers
since 1993. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, reasonable
accommodations must be made for workers deemed to be unable
to perform essential job functions. If exposure cannot be prevented,
sensitized workers must be removed from the workplace.
The cost of treating a latex allergy case is high. About 70% of reported
workers’ compensation claims resulting from latex allergy sensitivity
have resulted in awards to the workers, and the rate is on the rise.
OSHA has indicated that a “safe zone” may be needed to protect
workers sensitized to latex. And NIOSH, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, has published recommendations
for minimizing latex-related health problems in workers, while still
protecting them from infectious materials. These include reducing
exposures, using appropriate work practices, training and educating
workers, monitoring symptoms, and substituting non-latex products
when appropriate.
WHAT’S THE KEY TAKEAWAY?
To reduce the risk to latex sensitive employees, labs, cleanrooms, and
other workplaces should take steps to become latex safe. Switching
to a synthetic glove like nitrile is an important step. Nitrile gloves are
equal to latex in barrier protection and comparable in fit and feel.

Sterile Wipers.
Manufactured HandsFree
™
for the lowest possible risk.
Cleanroom wipers look white but are they really clean?
Cleanroom wipers are made by hand, but people are the greatest source of
contamination. A standard wiper adds great risk through introduction of dirt,
particles and other unwanted intruders into your cleanroom.
Sterile Vertex, The Ultra-Clean Wiper.
Texwipe developed a patent-pending, fully-automated system to wash, cut and pack
wipers without human hands. The robotic technology guides each wiper through its
production and ensures consistency from wiper to wiper, bag to bag and lot to lot.

Cleaning the Cleanroom:
Guidelines for Achieving Consistent
Results and Preventing
Recontamination
By: Kathy Miscioscio, Contec, Inc.
Whether you are working in an ISO Class 1, an ISO Class 8, or
anything in between, the first step in maintaining cleanrooms is
controlling the introduction of contaminants into the environment.
The next step in maintaining cleanrooms is choosing the appropriate
cleanroom consumables for routine cleaning of the environment. The
third step is using the appropriate materials in a consistent manner.
To be effective, the cleaning process used must remove as much of the
unwanted contaminants as possible. It should also be consistent and
repeatable. Lastly, an effective cleaning process should not spread or
add contaminants.
There are some basic guidelines to help you clean walls, ceiling and
floors to achieve consistent results and to prevent recontamination of
the areas you have cleaned.
The first consideration is choice of cleaning solution. The solution
must be compatible with the cleanroom materials of construction,
leave as little residue as possible and be effective on the types of soil
present. For pharmaceutical and medical device cleanrooms, disin-
fectants should be chosen based on the results of the environmental
monitoring program. When using disinfectant solutions, always follow
label directions. Spray or mop to completely cover the surface. Leave
on the surface for the required contact time and rinse if necessary.
To prevent recontamination, cleaning solutions must be kept clean.
Proper use of two and three bucket systems with wringers can help
keep the solution clean. The following diagram shows the proper
protocol for using these bucket systems.
If the solution looks dirty, it should be changed. Frequency of solution
changes is based on the type of environment, the contaminants to be
removed, and the type of cleaning being performed.
The next consideration is choice of mop. Both string mops and flat
mops are effective cleaning tools, as long as the head and handle
materials are compatible with the class cleanroom you are cleaning.
For effective floor cleaning, place the mop on the floor, starting in the
corner opposite the door, and pulling towards the operator. If gross
contamination is present, the floor should be vacuumed first. This
allows contaminants to be removed and prevents the operator from
walking on the just-cleaned floor. Lift and move the mop so the next
stroke starts adjacent to and overlapping the first stroke. Either a
modified S pattern or vertical strokes are effective for floor cleaning.
Follow a two bucket or three bucket protocol for wringing the mop
and applying fresh cleaner or disinfectant to the surface. Damp
mopping is the most effective use of the mop. If a mop is too wet,
contaminants are dragged from one area to another; if the mop is too
dry, not enough cleaner or disinfectant is applied to the surface. Typi-
cally, three square meters of floor are cleaned before wringing, rinsing
and applying new solution.
It is always important to inspect the cleaning or disinfecting solution
to make sure it is clean to prevent recontamination. If necessary,
change the cleaning solution. Rinse if necessary.
Wall and ceiling cleaning is usually done with a flat mop to maintain
good surface contact. The technique is similar to floor cleaning.
Starting in one corner of the room and using overlapping strokes is
the most effective cleaning method. Again, wringing the mop head is
especially important when cleaning ceilings to prevent chemical drips
on the operator’s head and floor, which could lead to injury.
General guidelines for effective cleanroom cleaning:
1. Start in the cleanest area and clean toward the dirtiest area.
This will minimize the chance of recontamination.
2. Use the cleaning tools appropriate for your class cleanroom to
prevent the entry of unwanted contaminants.
3. Wipe difficult to clean areas first to ensure all contaminants
are removed.
4. Clean from critical areas to less critical areas. This will help
maintain the cleanliness level of critical areas.
5. Clean from cleanest to dirtiest to prevent the spread of
contaminants.
6. Clean from driest to wettest to avoid spreading contaminants.
7. Clean from highest to lowest.
The techniques for cleaning the cleanroom are the same for
every class cleanroom; however, the choice of cleaning materi-
als and cleaning frequency are different for each class of cleanroom.

Practice IEST-RP-CC018.4 Cleanroom Housekeeping: Operation and
Monitoring Procedures. It can be purchased at www.iest.org.
