Hello, this is the sales manager from (GaoLebo) Gloves. Thank you for your continued visits and trust in our website. In previous articles, we introduced cleanroom standards and glove selection. In this article, we will share real APC test results of our seamless cleanroom gloves after washing, providing transparent and reliable data for your evaluation.
Airborne Particle Count (APC) testing measures the number of particles in the air under controlled conditions. It is a key indicator used to evaluate whether cleanroom consumables, such as gloves, meet cleanliness standards.
Test Standard and Method
The gloves were tested according to Class 1000 cleanroom requirements (equivalent to ISO Class 6). Particle sizes ranging from 0.3 μm to 10 μm were measured, and each batch was randomly sampled after washing.
Across multiple batches, all tested gloves met the Class 1000 cleanliness requirement. The particle count at 0.5 μm remained well below the maximum limit of 1000 counts/ft³ in all cases.
Additionally, the results show:
Stable performance across batches
– Random sampling inspection
Low particle generation after washing
– Meet the requirements
Consistency between background and test conditions
– Strict testing standards
Performance Close to Class 100 Level
Although designed for Class 1000 environments, the test results indicate that the gloves perform close to Class 100 (ISO Class 5) levels in several particle size ranges.
This demonstrates:
High cleanliness potential
– More demanding controlled environment
Strong process control in washing
– Ensure product quality
Suitability for more demanding environments
– Wider range of application scenarios
Why This Matters for Cleanroom Users
Reliable glove cleanliness is essential for preventing contamination in industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and precision manufacturing.
Consistent APC performance ensures:
Reduced contamination risk
Stable production quality
Compliance with cleanroom standards
Conclusion
The APC test results confirm that our washed seamless cleanroom gloves fully comply with Class 1000 standards, while demonstrating performance close to Class 100 levels. This combination of compliance, stability, and high cleanliness makes them a reliable choice for demanding cleanroom applications.
If you are looking for high-quality gloves designed specifically for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing environments, you can explore our cleanroom seamless gloves designed for ISO Class 5 and Class 6 cleanrooms.
