Cleanroom TN100PFB Series 9.5" Nitrile Gloves (Technipak)

• General handling, assembly, and wipe-down work in ISO Class 5 / Class 100 controlled environments where powder control and packaging discipline matter.
• Staging and kitting tasks where the dispenser must be wiped prior to entering a cleaner zone (PVC dispenser can be wiped clean more easily than paper cartons).
• Wet cleaning or solvent-adjacent workflows where carton fibers and softened cardboard create avoidable particle burden.
• ESD-aware handling where dissipative properties are part of the process control approach (verify against your facility ESD plan and material compatibility list).

• Packaging is part of contamination control: TechniPak® uses a plastic (PVC) dispenser intended to reduce particulate contribution associated with paper boxes and can be wiped clean.
• ISO Class 5 positioning: Designed and marketed for Class 100 / ISO Class 5 controlled environments (M3.5).
• Powder-free nitrile: Eliminates powder as an avoidable contaminant and avoids natural rubber latex proteins for teams managing latex sensitivity.
• Grip where it counts: Microtextured fingertips improve handling confidence on smooth tools, vials, and hardware.
• Documentation-minded programs: Certificates of Conformance are noted as available on request; pair that with lot discipline in receiving to support audit readiness.

TN100PFB-series gloves are manufactured from synthetic nitrile rubber in an ambidextrous, powder-free format with a beaded cuff and microtextured fingertips. The companion TechniPak® dispenser is a rigid plastic (PVC) box intended to reduce the particle contribution associated with traditional paper dispenser cartons and to support wipe-down prior to use in a cleaner area.

Practical note: When teams are trained to treat packaging as a contamination source, a wipeable dispenser becomes a real control point. It lets operators wipe the dispenser exterior with a compatible cleanroom wiper before opening, rather than bringing a “never-wiped” cardboard carton into the same staging area as product-contact tools.

Note on published values: cleanliness and ESD numbers can vary by reference document revision and test method. For audit-grade decisions, confirm the lot-specific Certificate of Conformance/Analysis your program requires.

These are the typical published cleanliness indicators for the TN100PFB family. Use them as screening criteria, then lock down acceptance using your receiving inspection plan and lot documentation.

• Packaging format: TechniPak® rigid plastic (PVC) dispenser, 100 gloves per dispenser, 10 dispensers per case (1,000 gloves/case).
• Sterility: TN100PFB is marketed as a cleanroom glove for controlled environments (non-sterile). If your process requires sterile gloves (for example, aseptic manipulations), select a sterile glove system and follow your CCS and gowning SOP.
• Traceability: Certificates of Conformance are noted as available on request; capture lot and receipt date at receiving so glove-change events can be tied back to documentation if an investigation is triggered.

The cleanroom “win” with this product usually comes from how the dispenser is handled, not just what the glove is made of. Below are operator-friendly controls commonly used in ISO Class 5 workflows (align to your site procedures and risk assessment):

• Wipe-down the dispenser before entry: Treat the outer dispenser as a transfer surface. Wipe the exterior with a compatible cleanroom wiper and approved solution before staging it in the cleaner zone.
• Open with control: Avoid “snapping” the lid/slot open. Fast motions generate particles and can pull in room air; slow, deliberate opening is a simple control.
• One glove at a time: Pull one glove by the cuff edge; do not rake multiple gloves or touch glove fingertips while dispensing.
• Fit is contamination control: Too-tight gloves tear and force repeated adjustments; too-loose gloves slip and drive “re-gripping” motions that generate particles.
• Change cadence: Set a glove-change trigger tied to task changes (material transfer, cleaning step changes, or visible contamination), not only elapsed time.
• Compatibility check: If you routinely contact strong solvents, oxidizers, or disinfectants, verify glove compatibility with your chemical list and your facility EHS guidance.

SOP disclaimer (customer-facing): This Technical Vault entry provides general best-practice guidance and example controls. It is not a substitute for your validated procedures, quality system requirements, or safety program. Customers are responsible for assessing suitability, compliance, and safe use within their specific process and regulatory context.

• Bringing in untreated packaging: The PVC dispenser helps, but only if the operator wipes it down or controls entry. Skipping this step defeats the packaging advantage.
• Overuse beyond task limits: Extending glove use through incompatible chemical exposure or abrasive handling increases tear and residue transfer risk.
• Dispensing contamination: Pulling gloves by the finger area or allowing gloves to drape over the slot can transfer contaminants to high-contact surfaces.
• Misapplied sterility expectations: Using non-sterile gloves where sterile gloves are required creates a compliance gap. If the process is aseptic, align glove selection and disinfection steps to your CCS and applicable guidance.

In ISO Class 5 nitrile glove programs, the closest alternatives usually differ on packaging approach, published cleanliness metrics, and documentation support:

• Ansell cleanroom nitrile glove families (selected models): Often chosen for mature QA documentation programs and broad cleanroom portfolios. Typical differentiator vs. TN100PFB is dispenser/pack configuration rather than glove length and gauge.
• Kimtech controlled-environment nitrile glove offerings (selected models): Frequently specified in lab-to-cleanroom transitions. Compare packaging, published particle/ion targets, and fit/dexterity for your handling task.
• Other cleanroom nitrile gloves in Class 100 programs: When evaluating, prioritize (1) packaging discipline, (2) lot documentation, and (3) published ionic/NVR indicators that match your product risk.

TN100PFB-series gloves fit best in programs that treat packaging as a controllable contamination source and that want a straightforward, repeatable dispense method for ISO Class 5 work. TechNiGlove is positioned as a disposable cleanroom glove manufacturer for contamination-controlled environments, and SOSCleanroom supports customers who need continuity of supply and fast fulfillment without compromising quality in critical environments.

Standards perspective (U.S. first, global benchmark second): In the U.S., contamination control expectations are commonly discussed using ISO 14644 terminology and, where applicable, FDA cGMP/aseptic processing guidance and USP compounding chapters. EU GMP Annex 1 is not a U.S. legal requirement, but it is a useful global benchmark for CCS discipline (risk-based contamination control, validated cleaning/disinfection, material transfer and packaging controls, and documentation/traceability).
