Overview

Cleanroom TN2000 Series 12" nitrile gloves are TechNiGlove’s Class 100 / ISO Class 5, powder-free, ambidextrous cleanroom gloves built for contamination-controlled work environments that depend on low particle and low extractables performance. TN2000 gloves are 100% nitrile, contain no natural rubber and no silicone, and are offered in multiple colors (white, blue, and green) so teams can color-code by size, process step, or double-gloving logic.

Why this matters in ISO Class 5: In critical environments, gloves are often the highest-contact “tool” in the room. A Class 100 / ISO 5 glove with published cleanliness limits helps reduce operator-driven contamination during assembly, wipe-down, component handling, and metrology work.

Operator use guidance for ISO Class 5 work (standards-informed)

U.S. contamination-control programs typically anchor to FDA expectations and facility SOPs; USP <797>/<800> may apply depending on your operation. EU GMP Annex 1 is often used as a secondary/global benchmark to reinforce risk-based CCS thinking, disciplined transfer practices, and documentation rigor without implying Annex 1 is a U.S. legal requirement.

Donning discipline: Don gloves using controlled motion to reduce particle generation. Avoid snapping open packaging and avoid rubbing gloves against garments.
Sanitization compatibility: If your process requires frequent glove sanitization (e.g., sterile IPA in ISO 5), confirm compatibility and change-out frequency using your site’s risk assessment and the chemical compatibility chart.
Change-out triggers: Replace gloves after contacting non-controlled surfaces, after handling aggressive solvents, when you observe tackiness/softening, or at your defined time-based interval.
Documentation and traceability: Record lot/batch identifiers where required to support deviation investigations and repeatable process control.

Recommended companion consumables for ISO Class 5 processes

In ISO Class 5 workflows, gloves can be “clean” while the process still fails due to wipe-down and sampling technique. Pairing TN2000 gloves with appropriately clean, low-linting wipers and cleanroom swabs helps reduce recontamination during assembly, transfer, and inspection. Note: no wiper is truly lint free; look for low-linting materials with documented cleanliness.

Low-linting polyester wipers (ISO 4–5 use common): https://www.soscleanroom.com/product/wipers/texwipe-tx1009-alphawipe-9-x-9-polyester-cleanroom-wiper/
Sterile wipers (when sterile wiping is required at point-of-use): https://www.soscleanroom.com/product-category/wipers/sterile-wipers/
Cleanroom swabs for precision cleaning/sampling: https://www.soscleanroom.com/product-category/swabs/

For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. Many customers standardize glove + wiper + swab together to support continuity of supply and consistent documentation in contamination-control programs.

Customer SOP note (read before standardizing)

This Technical Vault entry provides practical, technician-focused guidance and selection context. It is not your facility SOP and it does not replace validation, environmental monitoring strategy, or quality-system requirements. Always follow your site procedures, training, and change control. Confirm glove compatibility with your chemicals and surfaces, and verify suitability for your risk-based contamination control strategy (CCS). Where sterile handling is required, use only products specifically labeled and qualified for sterile presentation per your validated process.

1) Practical solutions in a critical environment

In ISO Class 5 operations, gloves function as a contamination-control surface as much as a barrier. The TN2000 Series is positioned for Class 100/ISO 5 work with published targets for particles, ionic extractables and nonvolatile residue (NVR), plus stated ESD behavior (notably humidity dependent). For U.S. workflows, glove programs typically align to FDA cGMP expectations and internal CCS decisions (risk-based contamination control, documented handling discipline, and traceability). EU GMP Annex 1 can be referenced as a global benchmark for CCS rigor and aseptic discipline without implying it is a U.S. legal requirement.

2) What are these gloves used for

TN2000 Series cleanroom nitrile gloves are used for contamination-controlled handling where teams want ISO Class 5 positioning, cleaner packaging controls, and published cleanliness baselines to support process stability and investigations.

Electronics and optics handling where particles and ionic residue can impact yield.
Controlled assembly, inspection and bench work in ISO Class 5 environments (process-dependent).
Operations where ESD attraction and charge dissipation are part of the defect-prevention strategy (verify in-room humidity and grounding approach).
General cleanroom use where nitrile is preferred (reducing natural rubber protein exposure pathways common to latex programs).

3) Why should customers consider these gloves

ISO Class 5 positioning: Listed as Class M3.5 / Class 100 / ISO Class 5.
Cleaner baseline expectations: Published targets for particles, ions and NVR help reduce “unknowns” vs. unqualified disposable gloves.
ESD controls stated: Surface resistivity and decay are provided with humidity conditions; supports more disciplined ESD planning when verified in your room.
12" coverage: Extra cuff length helps reduce exposed-sleeve risk during reach, transfer and handling routines.
Powder-free, no natural rubber or silicone (as described): Helps reduce avoidable contamination variables and common latex sensitivities.
Best-in-class supply approach: SOSCleanroom focuses on critical-environment consumables and does not compromise on glove quality “to save cost,” because contamination risk and rework are the real cost drivers.

4) Materials and construction

TN2000 is described as a 100% nitrile, powder-free, ambidextrous glove with microtextured fingertips and a beaded cuff. The series is offered in white, blue and green and packaged for controlled environments in sealed cleanroom bags. In day-to-day cleanroom work, the practical value comes from limiting releasables (particles/ions/NVR) and maintaining glove integrity through donning, fixture contact and repetitive handling.

Background note: The SOSCleanroom listing states TechNiGlove was founded in 1998 by Roger W. Gass and that products are manufactured, packaged and tested in an ISO 9002 facility, with batch testing availability for this product family.

6) Specifications in context

The TN2000 Series is a “workhorse” ISO 5 nitrile option where teams need longer cuff coverage (12") without moving into a sterile glove program. The 5 mil thickness typically balances tactile control with durability during repeated part handling and fixture contact. In ISO Class 5, the controls that matter most are often invisible: particles, ions and films that transfer to product-contact surfaces or sensitive assemblies. Published ions and NVR targets help set a defensible baseline, but your actual outcome still depends on how the glove is introduced, donned and used. ESD values are commonly presented at defined humidity conditions; if your environment runs drier, treat ESD behavior as something to verify rather than assume.

7) Cleanliness metrics

The values below are published targets on the SOSCleanroom product page for TN2000 Series. Manufacturer documentation for the same family may reference updated test methods (confirm current lot documentation as part of your qualification plan).

Metric	Published value (SOS listing)	Method / condition (as stated)
Particle levels (Class M3.5 / 100)	< 1200 total particles/cm² (> 0.5 µm)	IEST-RP-CC005.2 method
Fluoride	< 0.01 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Chloride	< 0.30 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Nitrite	< 0.01 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Bromide	< 0.05 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Nitrate	< 0.30 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Phosphate	< 0.01 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Sulphate	< 0.05 µg/cm²	Ionic extractables
Total NVR (DI water)	< 3.00 µg/cm²	NVR
Surface resistivity	< 10¹⁰ ohm/square	ESD-S11.11; at 50–60% humidity
Static decay	< 0.5 seconds	RETS-5-003; at 50–60% humidity

Qualification note: A manufacturer batch certificate example for TN2000 (white, Class 100) includes measured cleanliness results, notes that silicone oil/amide/phthalate were not detected on that certificate, and indicates the lot was manufactured in Malaysia. Treat batch certificates as lot-specific evidence and retain them per your document control practices.

8) Packaging, handling, sterility, traceability

Pack configuration: 100 gloves per poly-sealed cleanroom bag; 10 bags per case (1,000 gloves per case).
Material transfer discipline: Use staged de-bagging aligned to your CCS (outer bag removal in the appropriate transition zone; inner bag opening only where your process allows).
Sterility: Sterility is not stated on the TN2000 listing. If your process requires sterile presentation, select a glove explicitly labeled sterile and qualify it through change control.
Traceability: Certificate of Conformance is available on request; the listing references online batch testing. In regulated environments, retain lot documentation with receiving records and deviation investigations.
Chemical compatibility: A chemical resistance chart is linked from the SOSCleanroom page; use it as a screening tool, then validate for your exact chemistry, concentration, temperature and exposure time.

9) Best-practice use in the cleanroom

TN2000 can be “clean out of the bag” and still become the dominant contamination vector if technique is loose. These operator-level controls reduce excursions and rework:

Don slowly, avoid cuff snap: Snapping the cuff can aerosolize particles and dislodge fibers from sleeves. Control the motion, then seat the cuff cleanly over the garment interface.
Define clean-touch and dirty-touch zones: If you touch carts, shipper boxes, keyboards, door hardware or phones, treat the gloves as contaminated and change before returning to critical surfaces.
ESD is a system, not a glove: The stated ESD values reference humidity conditions. Confirm room RH and verify performance with your benches, mats, footwear, flooring and grounding approach.
Glove change triggers: Change on schedule and immediately after suspected breach: snag, pinhole risk, chemical splash, or unknown contact history.
Pair with ISO-matched consumables: A clean glove paired with an uncontrolled wipe or swab is a common root cause in “mystery residue” investigations.

Recommended Texwipe complements for ISO Class 5 programs (match consumables to the room)

For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. When customers standardize gloves for ISO 5 work, it is often beneficial to standardize wiping and swabbing consumables at the same ISO class to reduce variability.

Dry wiper (ISO 5–8 listed): Texwipe TX612 TechniCloth 12" x 12" (double-bagged) — general-purpose wipe-down and solution application where you want controlled packaging and broad cleanroom coverage.
https://www.soscleanroom.com/product/wipers/texwipe-tx612-technicloth-12-x-12-cellulose-and-polyester-cleanroom-wiper/
Sterile wiping option (ISO Class 3–5 context in manufacturer literature): Texwipe TX3224 Sterile TexTra10 9" x 9" — selected when your CCS calls for sterile presentation and sealed-border knit control for higher-risk wipe-downs.
https://www.soscleanroom.com/product/wipers/texwipe-tx3224-sterile-textra10-9-x-9-polyester-cleanroom-wiper/
Precision swab (non-sterile): Texwipe TX714A Alpha polyester knit swab — thermal-bond construction (no adhesive at the head bond), lot coded for traceability; commonly used for residue-sensitive details where controlled solvent application matters (validate sterility needs for your process).
https://www.soscleanroom.com/product/swabs/texwipe-tx714a-large-alpha-polyester-cleanroom-swab/

Note: “Low-linting” outcomes depend on surface condition and technique. No wiper or swab is truly lint-free across all substrates, edge conditions and stroke methods.

10) Common failure modes

Micro-tears and pinholes: Caused by fast donning, sharp fixture edges, tool knurling, or reaching into equipment. Use discard triggers and improve edge control on carts and fixtures.
False confidence in ESD behavior: Humidity drift and inconsistent grounding can negate glove ESD intent. Monitor RH and validate in-room charge dissipation performance.
Cross-contamination through touch history: “One quick touch” to a shipper carton or a doorknob can dominate your particle/residue background. Define zones and enforce glove changes.
Chemical mismatch: Nitrile is broad-resistance, not universal. Validate for your actual chemical mix, concentration and exposure time (especially for aggressive solvents and oxidizers).
Material transfer shortcuts: Opening inner bags in the wrong zone or staging open bags at the bench increases unknown exposure time and contamination risk.

11) Closest competitors

For ISO Class 5 nitrile gloves, compare on published cleanliness and documentation discipline, not just fit. Closest functional peers commonly evaluated include:

Ansell cleanroom nitrile programs: Often selected when teams want best-in-class brand depth, robust documentation support, and a broad cleanroom portfolio (match ISO class, packaging and sterility requirements).
Kimtech controlled-environment nitrile lines: Frequently evaluated for clean handling where published cleanliness and packaging controls are required.
Other TechNiGlove cleanroom nitrile families: Consider accelerator-free or sterile alternatives where sensitivity, chemical profile, or CCS calls for different risk controls.

12) Program fit (who standardizes this and why)

TN2000 Series fits programs that need ISO Class 5-positioned nitrile gloves with longer cuff coverage (12"), powder-free handling, and published particles/ions/NVR (plus stated ESD behavior) while staying in a non-sterile glove workflow. Typical standardization drivers include: repeatable cleanliness baseline, operator-friendly handling, and documentation/traceability support (CoC and batch information).

Receiving and qualification: Implement lot traceability and retain CoC/batch evidence per your quality system.
Training: Use the published cleanliness/ESD targets to teach why glove handling discipline directly affects investigations and yield.
Procurement discipline: Standardize color-by-size or color-by-zone only if it supports error-proofing and does not create uncontrolled substitution risk.
