SHIELDskin XTREME™ Cleanroom Gloves

Contamination Control | A Revolution in Glove Technology

SHIELDskin XTREME™ offers a complete range of cleanroom gloves specially developed for critical environments. Whether you require sterile gloves (GMP Grade A/B) or non-sterile gloves (GMP Grade C/D), this range delivers exceptional contamination control through innovative glove laundering classifications: DI, DI+, and DI++.

Choose from latex or nitrile gloves in various lengths—300 mm, 330 mm, 400 mm, and 600 mm—to meet your contamination and biohazard control requirements. SHIELDskin XTREME™ gloves are designed to protect both process and personnel, and are fully compliant with PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and ISO 374-5:2016.

🔬 Glove Cleanliness & Classification

Cleanliness matters most in cleanroom environments. The SHIELDskin XTREME™ system differentiates gloves by their DI water washing cycles:

  • DI: Basic contamination control (Spec: < 3000 particles/cm² > 0.5μm)
  • DI+: High contamination control (Spec: < 1200 particles/cm² > 0.5μm)
  • DI++: Extreme contamination control (Spec: < 850 particles/cm² > 0.5μm)

This classification system helps you select the right glove based on your cleanroom's cleanliness requirements—something many competitors overlook.

🧤 Double Donning & Colour System

The SHIELDskin XTREME™ range supports safe double-gloving practices using its unique 2-colour system. Pairing gloves of different lengths and contrasting colors—like orange inner glove with a white outer glove—ensures punctures and contamination are immediately visible.

The extra-length cuff also makes replacing the outer glove fast and effective within cleanroom environments, reducing bio-contamination risks.

🧪 Bio Contamination & Personal Protection

Designed for the most critical sterile environments, SHIELDskin XTREME™ gloves offer the highest level of barrier protection against viruses and biohazards:

  • AQL 0.25, 0.65 or 1.5 based on glove type
  • Virus resistant (ISO 16604:2004, Procedure B)
  • Tested against chemicals under ISO 374-1:2016 + A1:2018
  • Meets ISO 374-5:2016 for microorganism and virus protection

Each glove is also a certified Category III PPE product, ensuring both process and personnel safety.
