New AciTek(TM) Gloves From Ansell Offer Acid-Resistance, Improved Dexterity for Clean Room Environments



RED BANK, N.J. (May 18, 2004) - New AciTek clean room acid gloves from Ansell Healthcare Inc. protect hands from a wide spectrum of acids, etchants and solvents. Made from 100 percent natural latex polymer, the new gloves feature an aggressive grip pattern that assures a strong hold on glassware and other smooth or slippery surfaces.

A generous length of 13.8 inches to 14.6 inches enables the new AciTek gloves to protect the forearm while facilitating secure cuffing. A straight cuff design maintains cleanliness and protects the skin from chemicals.

According to Bill Bennett, Business Development Manager, Clean Environment and Chemical Resistant Markets, AciTek gloves are manufactured on ergonomically-designed, hand-specific formers for exceptional dexterity and comfort during extended wear.

"The new AciTek gloves set a new standard for protection and comfort," Bennett said. "This product is made from the highest quality natural rubber latex and tested in accordance with American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) standards and Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) recommended practices."

AciTek gloves are recommended for wet and chemical-resistant applications that require a clean room glove, including wafer manufacturing, pharmaceutical/biotech, and general clean room maintenance and production.

The new gloves, which are chlorinated inside and outside, are available in sizes 7 to 10. They have a citrus orange color with a fish-scale texture on the fingers and palm.
