New Kimtech Pure G3 EvT Nitrile Gloves Deliver Process Protection and Peace of Mind

ROSWELL, Ga., April 3, 2014 - Kimberly-Clark Professional has introduced a new glove that is designed to provide process protection for the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Kimtech Pure G3 EvT Nitrile Gloves offer high performance, durability and value. Free of natural rubber latex, these Extra-Value Technology gloves are preferred by cleanroom operators for overall tactile performance. They also offer:

• Superior comfort
• Easy donning
• Enhanced grip

"These gloves offer peace of mind in industries where a single spec of dust on a worker's glove can ruin a $10,000 wafer," said Carolina Krevolin, category manager, Scientific Gloves, Kimberly-Clark Professional. "Plus they deliver cleanliness, value and sustainability."

Kimtech Pure G3 EvT Nitrile Gloves are recyclable through the RightCycle by Kimberly-Clark Professional program - the first large-scale recycling program for non-hazardous laboratory waste. They also save space and reduce waste via environmentally responsible packaging that results in 50 percent more gloves per case (providing 33 percent more storage space) and 34 percent less waste.

Kimberly-Clark Professional is a global leader in contamination control solutions for cleanrooms and laboratories. Through the RightCycle Program, the business has helped divert 130,000 pounds of disposable garments and 30,000 pounds of nitrile gloves from landfills. The new Kimtech Pure G3 EvT Nitrile Gloves can help cleanroom operators achieve, or even exceed, their sustainability goals by recycling the gloves through the program.
