HIGH-PERFORMANCE SUSTAINABLE NITRILE CLEANROOM GLOVES DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL DURABILITY, CHEMICAL RESISTANCE, AND PARTICULATE CONTROL FOR CONTROLLED, TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENTS WITH NO LANDFILL!
The human body is one of the worst generators of contamination. Skin oils, skin flakes, body hair, body fluids, cosmetics and dirt can cause serious contamination issues. Consumers and employers want to be assured that product contamination from handling, packaging, and finishing processes do not harm their high-end products. They also worry about the transfer of biohazards to medicines, medical devices and food products.
WHY CLEANROOMS REQUIRE SPECIALIZED HAND PROTECTION?
Specially engineered and packaged, cleanroom gloves are used for contamination control in regulated industries or critical manufacturing environments during applications where it is critical to minimize contamination from dust, body oils/flakes and other particulates because they make direct contact with both the product and the process.
THE DARK SIDE OF GLOVE CONSUMPTION
Laboratories, automotive paint lines, cryogenic, pharmaceutical, biotech research facilities, aerospace, electronics and semiconductors, circuit board, healthcare (USP 797), and biomedical device manufacturing operations typically employ single-use gloves within their cleanroom operations which unfortunately contributes to growing global landfill crisis. Worn and then disposed several times a day every day, an estimated 180 billion pairs (or 1 million tons) of gloves are tossed in the garbage each year resulting in hand protection waste buried in landfills. Sadly studies have shown it can take 200+ years for nitrile and vinyl gloves to biodegrade and these numbers are expected to increase vastly. Fast forward to today and sustainability is only a +click away!

WHAT MAKES POWERCHEM® DIFFERENT?
AWARD WINNER
Designed for precision, safety, and sustainability, these cleanroom gloves deliver unmatched performance across high-tech, medical, and laboratory applications. The PowerChem® Cleanroom Nitrile Gloves has won the 2025 Occupational Health & Safety Industrial Hygiene Award Winner in chemical/liquid hand protection category making it much easier to convert your team to a new glove program!
SUSTAINABLE TECHOLOGY
EcoTek® technology is a patented proprietary SW® biodegradable nitrile formula that is making a difference and positive impact on the environment that accelerates biodegradation in landfill without any performance or protection loss under ASTM D5526-12 Standard Test Method for Determining Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under Accelerated Landfill Conditions. This special additive enables nitrile gloves to break down or biodegrade in landfill over a much shorter time than conventional gloves - Results are 92.6% biodegradation in 60% solids landfill at 945 days. (Future results cannot be predicted/extrapolated*.) And if your facility incinerates its glove waste, EcoTek® incineration-friendly nitrile gloves are a sustainable disposal method as the combustion process converts the gloves into harmless byproducts. This means the overall performance, protection and durability of the glove stays exactly the same with reduced impact on the environment.
HEALTHY TO WEAR & IDEAL FOR SENSITIVE SKIN 
Ideal for operators that are required to wear gloves all-day every day of the work week! The latex-free PowerChem® PC-12WT gloves are dermatologically accredited by the Skin Health Alliance (SHA), these innovative sustainable disposable powder-free nitrile gloves deliver unmatched comfort, skin benefits, dexterity, and will perform, fit and feel the same as conventional nitrile type disposable gloves except they’re much better for Earth…and for the hands of production operators!
