Ansell Nitrilite™ 93-401 Cleanroom Nitrile Gloves (Natural) — Non-Sterile, Accelerator-Free Protection for Class 10 (ISO 4) Work Zones
Nitrile Class 10 / ISO 4 Accelerator-Free Antistatic 12" / 300 mm
Overview
Ansell Nitrilite 93-401 is a non-sterile, accelerator-free cleanroom nitrile glove engineered for Class 10 (ISO 4) environments where particle and ionic background can directly impact yield, reliability, and investigation time. It is built around a low-ionic/low-particulate profile for dependable product protection, with an antistatic design to support electronics and other ESD-sensitive workflows.
Why accelerator-free matters in real operations:
Many glove-related skin reactions are associated with chemical accelerators used during manufacturing. Nitrilite 93-401 is specifically positioned as accelerator-free and latex-protein-free to reduce susceptibility to Type I (immediate) or Type IV (delayed) allergic reactions in extended-wear cleanroom programs, while still delivering the durability expected from nitrile.
Where it fits in a Class 10 (ISO 4) program
Nitrilite 93-401 is commonly selected for controlled environments that demand consistent glove cleanliness and stable baseline contamination performance across incoming lots — including life sciences, biotech manufacturing support, and electronics production zones where technicians frequently touch tools, fixtures, containers, and critical surfaces.
  • Cleanroom cleaning and preparing tasks (benches, carts, pass-through handling)
  • Blending/compounding solids and liquids; weighing and dispensing raw materials
  • Transferring liquids and solids; spill/leakage cleanup support
  • Loading centrifuges and chromatography columns
  • Assembly of parts and general critical handling where glove contact is a primary contamination vector
Materials, surface design, and technician control
This glove uses a nitrile formulation and is processed to support cleanroom use: powder-free, chlorinated interior for improved donning and reduced tack, and textured fingertips for grip control during precision handling. The extended cuff supports better overlap with cleanroom sleeves to reduce wrist exposure during reaching and transfer tasks.
Operational note for contamination control leaders:
In high-grade areas, glove selection is only half the control. The other half is disciplined technique: consistent donning, avoiding unnecessary contact with non-controlled surfaces, changing gloves at defined intervals, and documenting glove-change triggers in the site CCS (Contamination Control Strategy). This aligns with how U.S. cGMP programs typically manage personnel as a contamination risk, while EU GMP Annex 1 can be used as a secondary benchmark for strengthening risk-based controls across facilities.

Why SOSCleanroom leads with Ansell for critical gloves
In controlled environments, gloves are not a commodity — they are a primary contamination control barrier and a primary source of direct contact with critical surfaces. SOSCleanroom positions Ansell as a best-in-class glove line because the brand maintains deep controlled-environment specialization and strong documentation discipline across cleanroom PPE programs. SOS does not compromise on glove quality for critical environments.
Third-party validation: Cleanroom Technology reported (June 20, 2023) that SOS Cleanroom Supply became an Ansell authorised distributor, reinforcing SOSCleanroom’s commitment to verified supply channels for controlled-environment customers.
Build a matched Class 10 (ISO 4) consumables set (gloves + wiping)
Customers often improve consistency by pairing cleanroom gloves with wiping consumables that are also specified for the same ISO class. 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 you want to match Nitrilite 93-401 to the same Class 10 (ISO 4) environment, these Texwipe options are commonly selected:
  • Texwipe TX1060 Vectra Honeycomb10 9" x 9" Polyester Wiper (sealed border) — designed for high-performance wiping in critical environments; sealed borders are often preferred in tighter zones to reduce edge-related particle contribution.
  • Texwipe TX8659 Vectra Alpha 10 LT 9" x 9" Polyester Wiper — positioned for maximum performance in critical cleanroom environments.
  • Texwipe TX1057 AlphaSat 9" x 9" Pre-Wetted Wiper (10% IPA) — a controlled pre-wet format for consistent solution application; align solvent choice with your site validation and surface compatibility requirements.
Note: No wiper is truly lint-free. In cleanroom practice, the goal is low-linting, low-residue wiping behavior appropriate to the zone and the surface risk.
Standards and guidance context (customer education)
For U.S. customers, glove and contamination control decisions are often framed through FDA expectations (cGMP and aseptic processing principles) and ISO cleanroom classification terminology (ISO 14644). EU GMP Annex 1 can be used as a secondary/global benchmark for strengthening CCS thinking (risk-based controls, documentation, and disciplined handling) — without treating Annex 1 as a U.S. legal requirement.

1) Practical solutions in a critical environment
In a Class 10 / ISO 4 workflow, gloves are not just PPE — they are a primary contamination-control surface that touches tools, fixtures, wafers, parts, vials, and critical packaging. Ansell Nitrilite™ 93-401 is engineered to reduce common cleanroom risks (particles, ionic residue transfer, and allergy-triggering accelerators) while maintaining practical durability and dexterity for daily production handling. It is a non-sterile, accelerator-free nitrile glove designed specifically for Class 10 / ISO 4 cleanroom environments.
Manufacturer context (why Ansell matters):
Ansell is a global manufacturer of protective solutions with dedicated contamination-control product families (cleanroom gloves, garments, and accessories). For cleanroom users, that translates into documented test methods, repeatable manufacturing controls, and stable product specifications that support qualification, change control, and audit readiness. SOSCleanroom positions Ansell as a best-in-class glove line because critical environments cannot be compromised by inconsistent hand protection.
2) What it’s for
  • Cleanroom cleaning and preparing (non-sterile operations)
  • Blending and compounding solids and liquids
  • Spill or leakage cleanup
  • Transferring liquids and solids; weighing and dispensing raw materials
  • Loading centrifuges and chromatography columns
  • Assembly of parts in electronics and life sciences manufacturing
3) Why should customers consider this glove
  • Accelerator-free nitrile formulation: designed to reduce susceptibility concerns tied to chemical accelerators and latex proteins.
  • Low ionic content + low particles: supports residue-sensitive handling where ionic transfer can disrupt cleaning outcomes, coatings, bonding, or metrology.
  • Class 10 / ISO 4 room fit: a practical match when the cleanroom classification is tight enough that glove quality becomes a process variable, not a commodity.
  • 12-inch extended cuff: improves coverage when sleeves, gown cuffs, or wrist exposure are common contamination pathways.
  • Antistatic behavior (EN 1149): relevant where static charge can attract particles or disrupt sensitive electronics handling.
4) Materials and construction
Nitrilite™ 93-401 is made from nitrile (acrylonitrile-butadiene) and is powder-free with a chlorinated internal surface to support donning and reduce tack. The external surface is textured at the fingers to improve grip. The glove is ambidextrous, with a beaded cuff and an extended 12-inch (300 mm) length.
The construction intent: minimize loose particles, minimize extractable ions, avoid accelerator chemistry that can raise allergy concerns, and keep the glove stable during routine handling.

7) Packaging, labeling, and traceability
For ISO 4 operations, packaging design is part of contamination control. Nitrilite™ 93-401 is packaged as a 1,000-glove case (50 per inner bag; 2 inners per master; 10 masters per case). Keep the outer shipper out of the clean side; transfer only cleanroom-compatible packaging inward; open the smallest unit that matches shift usage.
Documentation available includes a Product Data Sheet and Declarations of Conformity (EU and UK), which supports supplier qualification and change control packages.
8) Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer:
The handling steps below are general best-practice suggestions for cleanrooms. They are not a substitute for your site procedures. Your quality system, risk assessment, and validation requirements must govern glove selection, gowning order, disinfectant compatibility, and change frequency. Always follow the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use and qualification documentation.
  • Donning sequence: Don the first glove without snapping the cuff; seat the beaded cuff flat. If double-gloving, ensure the outer cuff overlaps the gown cuff and does not roll.
  • Touch discipline: Treat the glove surface like a tool: avoid contact with door handles, pens, phones, cardboard, and non-cleanroom plastics.
  • Change frequency: Change gloves on defined triggers: after contact with non-cleanroom items, after spill cleanup, after chemical exposure, after a process step change, and whenever tactile sensitivity drops.
  • Wiping and solvent work: Avoid aggressive scrubbing that can abrade glove material. Use a low-linting cleanroom wiper and a validated solvent/disinfectant in the "damp" regime rather than wet pooling.
  • Storage: Store away from UV/direct sunlight and ozone sources; keep cartons closed to prevent particulate ingress.
9) Common failure modes
  • Micro-tears from hard edges: fixture burrs, sharp stamped parts, or threaded hardware can cut thin nitrile at the fingertip.
  • Abrasion from repetitive wiping: using the glove as a scrub pad can generate particles and reduce barrier integrity.
  • Chemical incompatibility: certain solvents can swell nitrile or reduce tensile strength over time; confirm compatibility for extended exposure.
  • Cross-contamination via "clean/dirty" touches: handling outer packaging or tools outside the clean boundary and then returning to critical parts.
  • Static attraction: in dry environments, charged surfaces can attract particles; confirm your ESD controls are aligned with the task.
10) Closest competitors
  • Kimtech™ Pure G3 Sterile White Nitrile: a sterile, hand-specific program option for Class 10 / ISO 4 critical environments (chosen when sterility is required).
  • Valutek™ Nanotek cleanroom nitrile families: positioned for cleanroom Class 1–10 / ISO 3–4 depending on specific model and packaging configuration.
  • Other ISO 4 nitrile cleanroom gloves: evaluate carefully for published particle/ion data, bag architecture, and documentation discipline before treating them as equivalent.
Selection logic: 93-401 is a strong fit when you need ISO 4 room compatibility and published cleanliness metrics but do not require sterility.
