The gloves are certified by U.S. Ergonomics and Health Canada.
With high-quality standards, users can rely on Kimtech Polaris Nitrile Exam Gloves for tasks that might otherwise require a thicker, less comfortable glove.
ROSWELL — Kimberly-Clark Professional introduces Kimtech Polaris nitrile exam gloves in Canada. The gloves reportedly have a tensile strength of 31 MPa after aging and have been tested against chemicals to meet industry standards for exam gloves.
“Kimtech Polaris nitrile exam gloves were created with the end-user in mind and represent a new chapter in innovation for Kimtech,” said Anuj Sinha, general manager of Global Scientific.
Certified by U.S. Ergonomics, the gloves are reportedly designed to protect professionals in laboratory settings, and they are also suitable for industrial work environments, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical device manufacturing and biotechnology.
“Beyond the fit of the glove, we gave it breathability and thermal comfort resulting in a glove 80 per cent of daily glove users found favourable versus their current glove, according to a recent study,” Sinha said.
The gloves are recyclable through the RightCycle Program. Through this program, eligible non-hazardous PPE waste are collected at the end user’s facility and taken to a recycling partner where they are turned into plastic pellets used to make durable consumer goods.
They do not contain silicone, are food contact safe, and comply with USP <800> guidelines. Approved by Health Canada, these gloves will be available from June 26, 2024, through scientific and industrial distributors.
