Gloves cleanliness properties is the first concern in a cleanroom. SHIELDskin XTREME™ cleanroom brand offers a large range of nitrile and Latex gloves coming to “compliance, comfort and protection”.
How classifications for airborne particulates could relate to gloves? In fact, there are no internationally recognised specification limits that would determine whether a cleanroom glove is ISO class 4 or ISO class 5 compatible. Accordingly, it is left to users to decide what is suitable for their process. Thus, the SHIELDskin XTREME™ cleanroom gloves branding is very different to many of our competitors as it is based on the cleanliness properties linked to the gloves' laundering cycles in deionised water: The more the glove is DI water washed, the lower the level of particles!
Cleanliness
Washing in deionised water provides the essential differentiation in terms of cleanliness properties: SHIELDskin XTREME™brand offers single washed gloves ranked “DI - Basic contamination control” (Particle levels spec. < 3000 per cm² > 0.5µm), triple washed gloves ranked “Di+ - High contamination control” (Particle levels spec. < 1200 per cm² > 0.5µm) and multi-washed gloves ranked “DI++ - Extreme contamination control” (Particle levels spec. < 850 per cm² > 0.5µm).
Double donning “2 colour system”
Those engaged in aseptic work may double-glove with two pairs of sterile gloves. Double donning with gloves of different colours (e.g., orange inner glove associated with white outer glove) and different lengths makes easy to detect punctures, pinpricks... With the benefit of the extra-length cuff, it’s also easy to replace the outer glove in the cleanroom. The sterile under-glove will minimize the risk of contamination of the product.
Bio contamination control
SHIELDskin XTREME™ gloves offer the highest level of bio contamination control to users of sterile gloves. Specifically developed for sterile production in the pharmaceutical industry and the most critical environments, SHIELDskin XTREME™ sterile Latex and sterile nitrile cleanroom gloves offer the highest level of barrier performance (as defined by AQL) for maximum personal, process and product protection.
A wide variety of gloves solutions for contamination control
Category III PPE gloves:
Whilst process protection is typically the main concern in cleanroom environments, increasingly users are recognising that there is often an equal need for personal protection of employees from chemicals and biohazards.
The responsibilities of the employer are outlined in the PPE at Work Directive 89/656/EEC which is the enshrined in local legislation throughout the European Union (EU). To address this need, all SHIELDskin XTREME™ gloves are registered according to the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

Cleanroom gloves are designed for contamination control, with low particle release and multiple DI washing levels (DI, DI+, DI++). These processes significantly reduce particles and extractables, helping protect critical cleanroom environments.
Cleanroom gloves are supplied in cleanroom‑compatible packaging designed to minimise particle generation during unpacking. These formats help reduce contamination risks when introducing pharmaceutical cleanroom gloves into controlled environments.
The two‑colour system supports double gloving cleanroom strategies by combining contrasting inner and outer gloves. This improves the visual detection of tears or breaches, reinforcing contamination control and process safety in critical environments.
Sterile cleanroom gloves are essential in pharmaceutical production to reduce biocontamination during critical operations. These sterile cleanroom gloves, including GMP Grade A gloves, provide high barrier protection for personnel, processes and products in aseptic environments.
AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) indicates glove barrier performance based on pinhole testing. Under EN ISO 374‑2, levels include 4.0, 1.5 and 0.65. The lower the AQL, the fewer defects and the higher the protection. For example, AQL 0.25 exceeds standard requirements. It is essential for product protection in cleanroom environments.
