PRODUCT DETAILS
Kimtech Purple Nitrile Exam Gloves from Kimberly-Clark Professional are powder-free, ambidextrous examination gloves made of a highly durable nitrile polymer and not made with natural rubber latex. At 9.5 in (24.1 cm) long, they guard your hands against incidental splashes, and they pass ASTM D6978-05, tested for use with chemotherapy drugs and hormones. Kimberly-Clark makes them for laboratory and scientific work.
Beaded cuffs keep the gloves from rolling down, and textured fingertips give excellent dexterity and tactile sensitivity. They are made to an AQL of 1.0, which exceeds the ASTM AQL 2.5 standard for critical defects or pinholes. The gloves come in a distinctive purple color and in three sizes, and used gloves can be diverted from the landfill through the Kimberly-Clark RightCycle Program.
