A REVOLUTION IN GLOVE TECHNOLOGY

The widely acclaimed SHIELDskin gloves provide you with the highest level of "compliance, comfort and protection". SHIELDskin nitrile/neoprene gloves have been specifically designed for laboratory use to protect your assays against contamination and to protect you against biological and chemical hazards.

PRODUCT CATEGORY

SHIELDskin gloves are classified as Category III PPE against the mortal or irreversible risks as defined in the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425. Only Category III PPE gloves are likely to provide the necessary personal protection needed in a laboratory.

GLOVE USAGE

SHIELDskin™ nitrile/neoprene and latex gloves have been specifically designed for laboratory use to protect your assays against contamination and to protect you against biological and chemical hazards.

CHEMICAL PROTECTION

A minimum length of 260 mm/10.2". By offering 10% extra length compared to standard length laboratory gloves (240 mm) and with extra thickness, SHIELDskin gloves provide optimal protection against biohazards and chemical splashes. SHIELDskin gloves resist to permeation for at least 30 minutes against 3 out of the 18 chemicals listed in ISO 374-1:2016+A1:2018 (tested according to EN 16523-1:2015+A1:2018).

BIOHAZARD PROTECTION

SHIELDskin gloves are tested to demonstrate compliance with ISO 374-5:2016 for protection against biohazard. SHIELDskin gloves have an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 0.25, representing a performance Level of 3 according to EN 374-2:2014. This level of protection in standard laboratory gloves has never previously been available and will provide additional confidence in meeting biosecurity procedures. Microorganism resistant per EN 374-2:2014 Level 3 (AQL 0.25) and virus resistant per ISO 16604:2004 Procedure B.

ALLERGY

SHIELDskin ORANGE NITRILE gloves are accelerator-free thereby limiting the risk of type IV allergic contact dermatitis (or type IV delayed hypersensitivity). Furthermore, there are non-detectable levels of chemical allergens using aqueous solution extraction (Phosphate buffered solution) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) assay method for quantitative analysis.

The SHIELDskin ORANGE NITRILE gloves are 100% latex-free providing a solution for those seeking to eliminate or minimize the risk of Natural Rubber Latex type I allergy (or type I hypersensitivity).
