Disposable gloves are used in electronics production to protect sensitive components and products from particle contamination, moisture ingress and electrostatic charge - especially within electrostatically protected areas (EPA).
ESD-compatible disposable gloves are available in various materials, such as nitrile, vinyl or PVC. These differ in terms of wear properties, stretch behavior, skin compatibility and chemical resistance.
Nitrile gloves are characterized by good tear resistance and resistance to oils and chemicals. Vinyl is an economical solution for short-term applications with low mechanical stress. PVC gloves offer a robust alternative with enhanced chemical resistance.
The selection of suitable gloves should always be based on the specific requirements of the EPA.
