Overview

QRP Qualatex® 8C finger cots are static dissipative, ISO 5 (Class 100) packaged latex finger cots engineered for high-technology handling where both electrostatic discharge (ESD) control and contamination discipline matter at the point of touch. The black, rolled design with a textured tip supports grip and fingertip control for precision tasks.

SOSCleanroom curates best-in-class consumables for critical environments so customers can standardize process inputs, reduce substitution risk, and maintain audit confidence across controlled manufacturing workflows.

Why this product matters in controlled environments
  • Static dissipative handling: published average surface resistance of 107 ohms/square and ESD program alignment claims support safer handling of static-sensitive devices.
  • ISO 5 packaged for cleaner staging: packaging presentation supports cleaner transfer and point-of-use dispensing versus general-purpose finger cots.
  • Powder-free to reduce residues: powder coating is listed as none, helping reduce particulate and residue transfer risk.
  • Precision grip: rolled finger cot with a textured tip supports fine motor assembly, inspection, and delicate component handling.
  • RoHS noted by the manufacturer: supports programs where restricted-substance considerations apply.
Typical tasks supported (published examples)
  • IC industries, electronics assembly, and static-sensitive component handling
  • Wire attach, die bonding, and laser diode handling
  • Avionics/defense field-repair kits and precision handling in controlled areas
  • Inspection, rework, and micro-assembly tasks where fingertip-only coverage is preferred

Latex allergy caution

This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions. If your program requires latex-free materials, consider ESD-safe nitrile finger cots or nitrile gloves per your EHS and quality requirements.

Packaging and handling (controlled dispensing)

The 8C series is supplied in a stand-up bag format intended to support identification and cleaner dispensing. Maintain packaging integrity until the point of use and dispense using clean technique to avoid re-contaminating ISO 5-packaged contents.

For facilities that stock higher quantities, the manufacturer datasheet notes master packaging of 20 bags per case (case contents may be sold separately as a case-level SKU on SOSCleanroom).

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs typically control the entire operator interface within the Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). Finger cots are generally selected for precision handling and ESD control rather than sterile aseptic processing.

  • If used in pharmaceutical environments: validate suitability for the area and process, and define change triggers (tear, snag, uncontrolled contact, or time-based changes).
  • Do not substitute for sterile gloves: for Grade A/B aseptic operations, follow CCS/SOPs for sterile gowning systems and glove disinfection/change practices.
  • Change control: keep material changes (latex vs nitrile) and packaging changes under formal change management to prevent process drift.
Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in a cool, dry location away from light and sources of heat/cold extremes.
  • Published storage temperature range: 50°F–86°F (10°C–30°C).
  • Use FIFO and keep lot traceability aligned to your ESD/quality program requirements.
Standards and reference context (where applicable)
  • ISO cleanroom classification context (ISO 14644-1): ISO.org reference page
  • ESD program standard referenced by the manufacturer: ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014
  • Cleanroom glove/finger cot context referenced by the manufacturer: IEST-RP-CC005.3; IEST-STD-CC1246D (Level 250)
  • ASTM standard referenced by the manufacturer: ASTM D3772 (rubber finger cots)

Finger cots vs gloves: when a finger cot is the right control

Finger cots provide localized fingertip coverage when full-glove bulk reduces dexterity or increases the risk of contacting adjacent components. In electronics and precision assembly, the goal is to protect the product from skin oils/salts and reduce both contamination transfer and handling damage while maintaining touch precision.

Key rule

A finger cot is not a substitute for full gloves when the hazard requires full hand protection (chemicals, powders, biological risk, or required barrier coverage). Select PPE to match the hazard assessment and SOPs.

Why “static dissipative” matters (ESD basics)
  • ESD damage is often invisible: a component can pass initial inspection but fail later due to latent ESD damage.
  • Static dissipative materials reduce charge events: finger cots with published resistance targets can reduce uncontrolled discharges during touch and handling.
  • Program alignment: ANSI/ESD S20.20 is the common backbone standard used to build and audit ESD control programs.
Donning & use: minimizing contamination and tearing
  1. Start clean: wash/dry hands per SOP; do not don onto wet skin.
  2. Select the correct size: undersized cots increase tearing; oversized cots reduce control and can snag.
  3. Don from the rolled edge: avoid stretching the tip; roll down smoothly to reduce micro-tears.
  4. Touch discipline: avoid contacting non-controlled surfaces (tools, benches, packaging exteriors). Replace immediately if contact occurs.
  5. Change triggers: replace on tears/snags, loss of fit, contamination, or task breaks.
ISO-first, then Annex 1: how to think about finger cots in GMP programs

In ISO-classified technology manufacturing, finger cots are typically deployed for precision handling and ESD control. In EU GMP Annex 1 environments, PPE selection and behavior are controlled through the CCS and validated gowning practices.

  • Use-case clarity: confirm whether the task is aseptic/sterile, particulate-sensitive, ESD-sensitive, or a mix. Choose PPE accordingly.
  • Aseptic operations: finger cots should not replace validated sterile gloves and glove-disinfection/change strategies required by CCS/SOP.
  • Documentation: treat finger cots like any other critical consumable—control substitutions, train donning technique, and document change triggers.
Build a stronger “touch-point control” system (SOSCleanroom)
  • Pair ESD handling with ESD-safe cleaning tools: use ESD-safe swabs/pick swabs for micro-cleaning and component recovery.
  • Control residues and fibers: keep cleanroom wipers available for tool wipe-downs and workstation touchpoints (per SOP).
  • Latex-free pathways: if latex is restricted, standardize to nitrile ESD-safe finger cots or nitrile gloves as applicable.
