Kimtech® G3 White Nitrile Cleanroom Gloves, ISO Class 3 (Size Small, 56881) — Double-Bagged, Cleanroom-Ready Handling With Chemo-Tested Barrier Performance
Nitrile ISO Class 3+ use Non-sterile 6.0 mil Textured fingertips PPE Cat III (EU 2016/425) ASTM D6978-05 tested (chemo)

Kimtech G3 White Nitrile Gloves are engineered for controlled environments where tactile sensitivity and repeatable barrier performance must be paired with cleanroom-ready packaging discipline. This non-sterile, ambidextrous nitrile glove is designed for ISO Class 3 or higher cleanroom use and is packaged double-bagged in cleanroom-compatible polyethylene with a case liner to support clean transfer into critical areas.

Kimtech scientific PPE is now part of Ansell following Ansell’s acquisition of Kimberly-Clark’s Personal Protective Equipment business, bringing a globally scaled protection portfolio behind a brand long used across microelectronics, semiconductor, optics, and non-sterile pharmaceutical workflows.

Why this glove matters in critical environments

In controlled environments, the glove is both a personal protective barrier and a process-control consumable. Pinholes, tearing during donning, or poor packaging transfer discipline can introduce contamination risk, rework, and batch disruption. G3 White Nitrile focuses on consistent fit, grip, and cleanroom handling support (double-bag packaging and repeated ultrapure deionized-water washing during manufacture) to help reduce process variability where hands are closest to the product.

SOSCleanroom stocks and distributes best-in-class glove lines because critical environments cannot be compromised. If your CCS (Contamination Control Strategy) depends on stable PPE performance and documentation, standardizing the glove family and packaging transfer method is one of the highest ROI controls you can implement.

Typical use cases
  • Microelectronics, semiconductor, and optics handling where grip and dexterity must stay high without shedding concerns
  • Non-sterile pharmaceutical applications where the CCS specifies non-sterile cleanroom gloves (and where sterile gloves are not required at point-of-use)
  • Controlled lab workflows requiring latex-free, powder-free glove selection for operator safety and process cleanliness
  • Clean transfer into ISO Class 3+ areas using double-bagged packaging and controlled donning practices
Key features and benefits
  • ISO Class 3+ cleanroom suitability: Intended for ISO Class 3 or higher environments with cleanroom-ready packaging support.
  • Latex-free, powder-free, silicone-free: Supports operator safety and reduces avoidable process contaminants associated with powders and natural rubber latex.

Note: Standards applicability is task-specific. Always verify the most current manufacturer declarations and match them to your hazard assessment, exposure time, and CCS requirements.

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (technician-focused)

Annex 1 emphasizes contamination control strategy (CCS), risk-based controls, and disciplined gowning/handling. Use the guidance below to strengthen glove control without implying product-specific compliance claims.

  • Match sterility to the zone: For aseptic operations in Grade A/B (ISO 5/Grade A at point-of-use), sterile gloves are typically required by procedure. This product is non-sterile; use where your CCS allows non-sterile cleanroom gloves (e.g., support areas, non-sterile operations, controlled handling).
  • Double-bag transfer discipline: Remove the outer bag at the designated gowning boundary. Keep the inner bag for controlled presentation into the room and dispense gloves using a no-reach, no-touch method.
  • Glove change triggers: Define change frequency in your CCS (time-based and event-based). Immediate changes should follow tears, snagging, visible soiling, contact with non-controlled surfaces, or after high-risk interventions.
  • Donning control: Use the beaded cuff to reduce roll-down and help prevent fingertip over-stretch. Avoid pulling on fingertips during donning to reduce micro-tears.
  • Wet-work compatibility: If you use alcohols/disinfectants during operations, validate that repeated contact does not degrade grip or barrier in your specific workflow.
  • Documentation and training: Keep glove specifications, lot/ship records, and training records aligned to CCS expectations for traceability and investigation readiness.

Representative product image (SKU 56881).
1) Practical solutions in a critical environment
In ISO Class 3 (and similarly managed ultra-clean areas), gloves are not just PPE — they are a primary contamination-control input and one of the most frequent points of contact with tools, fixtures, and product. What matters is the full system: clean manufacturing, controlled washing, packaging that supports clean transfer, and operator technique that preserves glove integrity after donning.
Kimtech G3 White Nitrile (56881) is positioned for ISO Class 3 or higher cleanroom use with double-bag packaging intended to support controlled introduction into critical areas.
2) What it's for
  • ISO Class 3+ component handling and precision assembly
  • Optics/inspection work where fingerprints, residues, and rework are costly
  • Non-sterile pharma/life-science support operations (where your CCS permits non-sterile gloves)
  • Lab operations needing latex-free, powder-free selection with clean transfer controls
3) Why should customers consider this glove
  • ISO Class 3+ positioning: built for ultra-clean environments where glove quality and handling discipline materially affect yield.
  • Transfer discipline support: double-bag packaging reduces boundary-related contamination risks during material introduction.
  • Operator performance: 6.0 mil nitrile with textured fingertips balances protection and tactile control for delicate parts.
  • Hazard-handling reference: ASTM D6978 testing is commonly used as a screening reference for chemo drug permeation (confirm against your hazards and site requirements).
  • Program stability: SOSCleanroom focuses on best-in-class consumables because critical environments cannot be compromised.
4) Materials and construction
  • Nitrile, 6.0 mil thickness (size Small / 56881)
  • Textured fingertips; beaded cuff
  • Latex-free and powder-free
  • Multiple ultrapure DI-water wash cycles referenced in manufacturer literature

6) Cleanliness metrics
MetricPublished contextPractical meaning
Particles > 0.5 μm / cm²Typical 600; Maximum ≤ 950Supports ISO Class 3+ intent; maintain by strict bag-transfer and "touch rules."
AQLAQL 1.5Starting point; define event-based glove change triggers.
Washing statementMultiple ultrapure DI-water wash cyclesHelps reduce typical surface contaminants; contamination control is still won or lost at transfer, donning, and change control.
7) Packaging, sterility, and traceability
  • Configuration: 100 gloves per bag; 10 bags per case (1,000 gloves total).
  • Transfer intent: double-bagged; remove outer bag at the correct boundary before presenting inner bag into the clean area.
  • Traceability: maintain bag-to-line linkage so investigations and deviations can be closed faster.
  • Sterility note: if sterile gloves are required by your CCS/SOP, select a glove explicitly specified as sterile.
8) Best-practice use
  • Double-bag transfer: remove outer bag at designated boundary; present only the inner bag into the clean area.
  • Donning technique: pull from the cuff, not the fingertips.
  • "Touch rules": once donned, treat door hardware, carts, keyboards, and phones as glove-change events unless your SOP controls them.
  • Change triggers: define time-based and event-based changes (snag/tear, contact with non-controlled surfaces, solvent contact, visible residue).
  • ESD programs: do not rely on glove properties alone — grounding, garments, humidity, and work-surface strategy must remain in-spec.
Matching consumables (ISO alignment matters)
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.
9) Common failure modes
  • Clean glove becomes a dirty tool: touching carts, door handles, badges, or keyboards after donning without changing gloves.
  • Micro-tears during donning: pulling from fingertips or snagging on jewelry/tape edges.
  • Transfer breakdown: bringing the outer bag into the clean zone or setting the inner bag on uncontrolled surfaces.
  • Chemical mismatch: using a thin-gauge glove for prolonged chemical contact where compatibility is not validated.
  • Wrong sterility state: using non-sterile gloves in a procedure that requires sterile barrier control.
10) Closest competitors
11) Critical environment fit
U.S. standards first: glove selection is typically controlled through a CCS, ISO 14644 terminology, and risk-based SOPs aligned to applicable FDA expectations and ASTM/IEST practices.
EU GMP Annex 1 as a secondary benchmark: reinforces risk-based contamination control, disciplined gowning, material transfer controls, and investigation-ready documentation — not a U.S. legal requirement.
12) Customer SOP disclaimer
