Kimtech™ Polaris™ Nitrile Exam Gloves
By Kimberly Clark
Kimtech™ Polaris™ Nitrile Gloves are built for science, made for you and designed for use in laboratories, life science applications and non-sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. These high-end ambidextrous powder-free nitrile gloves deliver seamless protection whenever and wherever it is needed.
The optimized nitrile formulation (acrylonitrile-butadiene) features extended chemicals and chemotherapy drugs splash protection with no compromise on wearer comfort. Beaded cuffs and textured fingertips enable excellent handling of both wet and dry materials.
These gloves have been extensively tested under stringent conditions and meet AQL 0.65 for water tightness which results in a low risk of pinholes. Powder-free, not made with latex or silicone, Kimtech™ Polaris™ Nitrile Gloves are designed to keep hands comfortable and protected whilst ensuring that research applications can be carried out contamination-free.
