I am having a debate on latex gloves , while handling boards I see a lot o improper handling due to the false sense of security the employees have while wearing them. I had them stop for a while and I saw damage and flux/FOD defects go down significa

Totally use them in production cycle - dispose after use. Some companies think that you should keep them in your pocket for months. Now they become way dirtier than people's hands. Other than that they work good ...I have seen worker's fingerprints o

Not for ESD specifically. You sound like you're doing plenty. Typically gloves are used more for fingerprint avoidance rather than ESD. The only real reason the gloves are listed as ESD, is because you don't want them to cause issues. They really won

I am having problems with voids in our soldering process. I believe it to be the fact that we use a no clean flux without control on how the boards are handled (gloves, procedures, etc.) Does anyone have suggestions on the appropriate place to start?
