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).

Black Nitrile Exam Glove Powder-Free Silicone-Free Textured Fingers AQL 1.5 Non-Sterile

Ansell MICROFLEX® Black Dragon® Zero BD-100N: black nitrile examination gloves designed for dependable grip, durability, and controlled handling

Ansell MICROFLEX® Black Dragon® Zero BD-100N is a black, powder-free, silicone-free nitrile examination glove designed for applications involving frequent handling of tools, components, equipment, and work surfaces. Its textured fingers support grip during routine tasks, while the black exterior helps conceal visible staining from grease, oils, and other materials.

Operations takeaway: BD-100N combines 3.5 mil palm thickness, 5.5 mil finger thickness, textured fingers, and a powder-free, silicone-free construction for hands-on work requiring dependable handling and documented mechanical performance. Proper fit, inspection, and glove-change procedures remain essential to maintaining barrier integrity.

Cleanroom distinction: BD-100N is a non-sterile examination glove and is not published with ISO cleanroom particle, ionic, or nonvolatile residue cleanliness specifications. Facilities operating classified cleanrooms should verify glove suitability against their contamination-control requirements before adoption.


Operational context: how glove selection affects daily handling

Routine maintenance, inspection, healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing support operations involve frequent contact with tools, containers, equipment, and potentially contaminated surfaces. In these applications, glove performance must balance grip, durability, dexterity, and appropriate barrier protection.

  • Handling consistency: Textured fingers support control when manipulating components, tools, and equipment.
  • Wet and oily surfaces: Additional fingertip texture helps maintain grip during tasks where smooth surfaces can become slippery.
  • Mechanical durability: Published tensile strength and elongation values support comparison with other disposable examination gloves.
  • Residue considerations: Powder-free and silicone-free construction helps address applications where these materials are undesirable.
  • Visual appearance: Black nitrile helps conceal grease and stains while providing contrast against many lighter-colored components.

Control point: Black gloves may conceal visible contamination. Replace gloves according to established procedures and task boundaries rather than relying on appearance alone.

Performance interpretation: Published tensile strength and elongation values provide measurable characteristics for product comparisons. AQL is a sampling-based inspection measure for barrier defects and does not guarantee that every glove is free of punctures or other defects.


What BD-100N is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • General component handling and parts inspection
  • Picking, fastening, and manipulating components
  • Equipment repair and maintenance
  • Automotive aftermarket applications
  • Tire rotation and general automotive service tasks
  • Handling cleaning tools and robotic equipment
  • Routine non-sterile examination procedures
  • Applications where natural rubber latex avoidance is required
  • General-purpose handling where powder-free and silicone-free construction is preferred

Grip-focused construction: Textured fingers support controlled manipulation of components and tools, particularly where oils, moisture, or smooth surfaces affect handling.


Materials and construction: practical implications
  • Nitrile material: Provides a synthetic alternative to natural rubber latex examination gloves.
  • Powder-free construction: Eliminates glove powder as a potential source of particulate and residue transfer.
  • Silicone-free formulation: Supports applications where silicone-containing materials are restricted or undesirable, subject to applicable process requirements.
  • Textured fingers: Provide additional friction during routine wet and dry handling.
  • Standard cuff: Provides conventional wrist coverage for routine examination and general-purpose tasks.
  • Black coloration: Conceals visible staining from oils and grease and provides contrast with lighter materials.
  • Non-sterile construction: Intended for applications that do not require sterile gloves at the point of use.

Material consideration: Powder-free and silicone-free construction does not establish universal cleanliness or chemical compatibility. Verify requirements against the actual substances, surfaces, and processing conditions involved.


Cleanliness and contamination-control characteristics

BD-100N is classified as a non-sterile examination glove rather than a cleanroom-processed glove. Its published specifications establish material, barrier, and additive characteristics but do not provide ISO cleanroom cleanliness performance values.

  • Barrier integrity: AQL 1.5 (Inspection Level I)
  • Powder control: Powder-free
  • Silicone: Silicone-free
  • Natural rubber latex: Not made from natural rubber latex
  • Antistatic / ESD performance: Not tested
  • Cleanroom particulate performance: Not specified
  • Ionic contamination: Not specified
  • Nonvolatile residue (NVR): Not specified
  • ISO cleanroom classification: Not specified

Controlled-environment consideration: Facilities operating classified cleanrooms should qualify gloves against their documented contamination-control requirements. A powder-free, silicone-free examination glove should not automatically be considered cleanroom-processed.


Best-practice use (reduce glove damage and contamination transfer)
  1. Select the correct size: Proper fit supports dexterity, grip, and comfortable handling without excessive stretching.
  2. Inspect before donning: Check for visible damage, defects, or signs of deterioration.
  3. Control donning: Begin with clean, dry hands and avoid excessive pulling or stretching at the fingertips.
  4. Use controlled grip techniques: Textured fingers assist handling, but oily or wet surfaces may still require additional precautions.
  5. Define change-out triggers: Replace gloves following tears, punctures, significant chemical contact, contamination, or other SOP-defined events.
  6. Separate incompatible tasks: Change gloves when moving from maintenance or cleaning work to clean packaging, labeling, or other controlled touchpoints.
  7. Confirm chemical compatibility: Verify manufacturer guidance before using gloves with cleaners, solvents, or other chemicals.
  8. Follow storage guidance: Keep gloves cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, ozone, and ignition sources.
  9. Remove and dispose correctly: Follow approved doffing and waste-handling procedures to limit contact with contaminated glove surfaces.

Method standardization tip: Define glove size selection, inspection, change-out triggers, and contact boundaries within facility procedures. Consistent operator practices help reduce handling variability and unnecessary contamination transfer.


Misuse controls & when not to use BD-100N
  • If sterile gloves are required: BD-100N is non-sterile and must not replace gloves designated for sterile or aseptic procedures.
  • If chemotherapy drug protection is required: The product documentation does not identify BD-100N as tested for chemotherapy drug use.
  • If ESD protection is required: Antistatic performance is listed as not tested. Use gloves qualified for the facility's ESD requirements.
  • If chemical exposure is significant: Verify the manufacturer's chemical permeation and degradation data for the specific substance, concentration, and exposure duration.
  • If cleanroom cleanliness is critical: Do not assume ISO suitability without supporting particle, ionic, and residue performance documentation.
  • If extended wrist or forearm coverage is required: Use appropriately specified longer-cuff or chemical-protective gloves.
  • If visible contamination is difficult to detect: Follow event-based change-out procedures rather than relying on the black glove's appearance.

Selection rule: Textured grip, powder-free construction, and silicone-free formulation do not automatically establish suitability for sterile processing, classified cleanrooms, chemotherapy handling, or every chemical exposure.
