Thin Walled Nitrile Cleanroom Gloves
Unlike any other thin walled glove on the market, the Chemsoft CE™ glove from North gives the strength and chemical resistance of a nitrile glove and the dexterity of a latex glove without the allergens.
North Safety Products, manufacturer of the highest quality cleanroom gloves, offers the Chemsoft CE™ Glove - a glove with the stretch and comfort of natural latex and the chemical resistance and strength of nitrile. The unique formulation of this glove makes it superior to all others in the industry.
Our special formulation (patent pending) is processed in a powder free facility. These gloves undergo multiple washings to remove foreign particles and to extract harmful ions. Cleanroom packaging insures the customer will receive a contamination-free product. Chemsoft CE is 100% soft nitrile material and thus contains no allergy causing latex proteins. A surface resistivity of 1011 ohms per square give the Chemsoft CE glove enough conductivity to prevent harmful static discharge in many applications.
Features Benefits
100% Nitrile Rubber No allergy causing proteins. High tensile strength
Rolled Cuff Prevents tearing while donning
Cleanroom Packaged Protection against airborne contamination. Double bagged with cleanroom compatible packaging and labeling materials
State of the art cleaning process Reduces particulate contamination

North AK Acid Handling Cleanroom Latex Gloves
The North AK cleanroom latex glove is the preferred acid glove at major electronics manufaturers. Made in a powder free facility and packaged in a state of the art cleanroom, North AK gloves are made using a specially formulated 100% natural rubber latex. North's stringent inspection, cleaning and packaging guidelines result in a case hardened glove which is soft for outstanding dexterity yet still provides superior acid, caustic, puncture and tear resistance.
Repeated testing using the I.E.S.T. RP-005.2 test methods for particle counting and extractable ion detection has demonstrated that North AK gloves are consistently cleaner and have lower levels of extractables than other brands of acid gloves. This has made the North AK glove the most popular glove of its type in the U.S.
When your application calls for agitating wafers in an acid bath, handling etching and cleaning acids / caustics, or lab room maintenance, the glove of choice is the North AK cleanroom latex glove. With their superior quality, chemical resistance, low extractables and cleanliness you'll find the ideal solution to your acid glove problems.
Features Benefits
100% natural rubber latex Reduces extractable contamination
Powder free manufacturing and state of the art cleaning Reduces particulate and extractable contamination

North Static Dissipative Cleanroom Gloves
Special compounding makes these gloves inherently static dissipative for 100% effectiveness throughout their life. Due to their incredible electrostatic dissipative properties, North natural rubber latex static dissipative cleanroom gloves can dramatically reduce losses from voltage overstress and help solve a problem which can affect your bottom line. What's more, they're inherently static dissipative, so their static dissipative qualities won't weaken with age, won't degenerate with rubbing or washing, don't depend on humidity or ingredient migration, and they allow no static build up on the hand. Our static dissipative gloves are packaged in conductive bags, so they can be taken into the work area. North static dissipative cleanroom gloves meet ASTM D 3578 requirements so they are ideal for use with static sensitive devices.
Features Benefits
Inherently static dissipative Will not rub or wash off and does not depend on humidity or any ingredient to migrate to the surface. Static dissipative qualities will not weaken with age. Consistent performance
Very rapid static decay Does not permit build up of destructive static energy. Static decay to 0 volts in less than 0.05 seconds. Maximum time allowed by MIL-B-81705B is 2.0 seconds
Surface resistivity in the static dissipative range:
105 - 109 ohms per square
Allows rapid bleed off of any charge. Reference ASTM D 257
No static build up No static build up on the hand of a grounded person
Meet ASTM D 3578 Requirements Consistent high quality
Packaging for individual pairs complies with MIL-P_82646A Individually package pairs can be taken bagged into the immediate work area
Does not smudge Unlike many antistatic gloves, these contain no humectants which might contribute to extractable contamination
Black color Improved monitoring of critical ESD production areas
Multiple washed Washed and cleanroom bagged for very low particle counts
