The market for disposable cleanroom gloves continues to expand at a rapid rate. The projected compound annual growth rate is projected to be 7.1% from 2024 to 2032. The industry is expected to reach $9.6 billion by 2032. This growth rate is stimulated by the growing necessity for contamination-free environments in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and semiconductor industries. In highly controlled environments where even the smallest contaminants can compromise processes and products, cleanroom gloves play a critical role in maintaining sterility and precision.
Cleanrooms are specialized environments used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace. These spaces must maintain extremely low levels of airborne particles, requiring strict contamination control. Standard gloves may shed particles or contain substances that could compromise critical environments. Cleanroom gloves undergo rigorous testing to meet specific cleanliness standards. Many cleanroom applications involve handling chemicals that require gloves with superior resistance to degradation and permeation.
In the face of this necessity, SW is proud to introduce our new cleanroom glove, PC-12WT. Cleanroom gloves are classified based on their cleanliness level, with ratings such as ISO 3 (Class 1), ISO 4 (Class 10), ISO 5 (Class 100), and ISO 6 (Class 1000). Lower ISO values indicate higher cleanliness standards. PC-12WT has an ISO 5 (Class 100) classification.
Our PowerChem PC-12WT glove is dispensed with SafeDon®. This minimizes cross-contamination while delivering significant space and packaging savings. Our customers save over 40% on space and storage and reduce cardboard waste by 20% compared to conventional 100-glove boxes.
It also includes our trademarked EcoTek® sustainable technology. EcoTek® is free of toxic chemicals and manufactured sustainably. EcoTek® is rigorously tested per the ASTM D5526 standard, reducing solid waste through microbial action when disposed of in a modern landfill. It has been validated through independent third-party testing to confirm no harmful residues after disposal. EcoTek® is useful for all glove users and industries as it reduces unnecessary waste build-up and is incineration friendly. Our formula has been proven to produce 7% less CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) emissions, 55% less NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide) emissions, 81% less SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide) emissions, 56% less TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Carbon) emissions, and 40% less CO (Carbon Monoxide) emissions during incineration compared to regular nitrile gloves.
The glove is SHA (Safe Hands Alliance) approved for Low Dermatitis Potential (LDP) to minimize the risk of Type I and Type IV allergies and enhance safety for users with sensitive skin. The PC-12WT glove features an extended cuff for additional splash protection. The glove is an optimal thickness for durability and tactile sensitivity. The tear-resistant beaded cuff eases donning, while its finger-textured surface delivers excellent grip. Our glove has a 1.5 AQL for wet and dry environments, exhibiting low glove failure no matter the environment. Our high-performance nitrile cleanroom gloves deliver exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and particulate control for controlled environments.
With the PowerChem PC-12WT, SW Sustainability Solutions continues to lead the way in cleanroom hand protection, combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable solutions. We were extremely proud to receive an Occupational Health and Safety Industrial Hygiene Award for our PC-12WT glove.
