Continuing on the the discussion of using gloves in a no-clean soldering environment: * Sure, some people use gloves when handling boards in a no-clean soldering environment * There may be some benefit to using gloves when no-clean soldering * Yo

If gloves are used to handle a PCBA, wouldn't the glove material need to be conductive or dissapative rather than simply "anti static"? Gloves labeled as static free nitrile, latex or vinyl shouldn't be used to handle a PCBA?

Our employees use a knit style ESD glove when masking boards to prevent oils. They snag alot and bend leads and cause other problems. I have tried dipped palm but they are bulky and dont offer "feel". I tried a silky type but they had a huge seam

Yins: So, what kind of gloves do yall (and your operators) use when handling solder paste and used (pasted) stencils? What was the thought behind that decision? Thanks

We use a single use, vinyl glove. It is supplied by Ansell Edmont Industrial, it's called 'Duratouch Stretch II' Hope this helps.

Just to let you all know. We got some nitrile powder free gloves and everything is fine now. We tried Vinyl but they were powdered so it really looks like it could be the powder and not the latex but I am sticking with the Nitrile powder free gloves

I still don't fully understand the ESD mambojambo... Why wouldn't antistatic gloves do? Your hands can't be static as your body should be grounded, no?
