Product overview
MICROFLEX® Black Dragon® Zero BD-100N is a black nitrile exam glove designed to mask stains, grease, and dirt while providing strong visual contrast during work. Textured fingers support a reliable grip, and a soft yet durable nitrile formulation is intended to balance comfort and strength for daily use in automotive, healthcare, and industrial workflows.
Controlled-environment note: Exam gloves are designed for barrier protection and hygiene — not for maintaining ISO cleanroom particle classes. If you need ISO 4/5 cleanroom performance, specify cleanroom-processed gloves aligned to your environment and validation requirements.
Why customers choose Black Dragon® Zero BD-100N
- Black nitrile color masks dirt/grease and improves visual contrast against parts, tools, and fluids during inspection and handling tasks.
- Textured fingers provide confident grip for picking, fastening, and maintenance workflows where slip risk is common.
- Powder-free, latex-free nitrile supports users avoiding natural rubber latex (Type I) allergy concerns.
- Silicone-free formulation helps reduce the risk of silicone transfer concerns in many industrial and finishing applications.
- 1.5 AQL (freedom from holes, Inspection Level I) supports dependable everyday barrier performance.
Recommended applications
- Inspection, selecting, checking parts
- Inspection of parts and equipment
- Picking and fastening components
- Equipment repair and maintenance
- General purpose automotive / auto aftermarket work
- Use of cleaning tools and robotic equipment
- Tire rotation & changes
- Standard, moderate risk examination procedures
Note: BD-100N is not tested for chemotherapy drug use and is not sterile. If your workflow requires chemo-tested (ASTM D6978) and/or sterile gloves, select the appropriate product family and validate to your SOPs.

Test method context (as published): thickness/length reference ASTM D3767 / EN 420; AQL reference ASTM D5151 / EN 455-1; tensile reference ASTM D412 & D573. Always validate glove selection for your application, including chemical exposure, abrasion risk, and change frequency.
PPE program guidance (U.S. first, global context second)
In U.S.-based healthcare, lab, compounding support, QA/QC, and industrial programs, exam gloves are typically managed as a primary hygiene and cross-contamination control: standardized sizing, defined change triggers (time, task, contamination event), disciplined donning/doffing, and clear rules for high-touch surfaces (door handles, keyboards, carts). For higher-risk exposures, select gloves based on a documented hazard assessment and SDS review.
As a secondary/global benchmark, risk-based contamination control strategy (CCS) thinking remains useful even outside sterile manufacturing: define what “clean” means in your process, control the materials that enter work areas, and ensure documentation supports traceability and investigation readiness where quality outcomes matter.

Build a best-in-class consumables set
Gloves are one part of a high-discipline program. To reduce residue and particulate transfer during wipe-down and routine cleaning, pair your exam glove choice with the appropriate wiping materials for your environment and process (solvent compatibility and lint control).
Texwipe pairing suggestion (wipe-down support)
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. If your workflow includes wipe-down steps near quality-sensitive areas, consider low-linting polyester wipers such as Texwipe AlphaWipe® TX1009/TX1009B for general cleaning and spill control where a low-linting wipe is required (note: no wiper is truly lint-free).
