Hi Eric,
In our facility we have levels of PPE required. Inside the Clean Room
standard cleanroom gloves are required at all times to prevent particle
contamination. A second pair of gloves is required for any work on the
wet-benches or spin coaters. These gloves are single-use and can be
disposed of in the Clean Room solid chemical waste if they get
contaminated. For HF, BOE, Nanostrip, acids, etc., a third pair of
elbow-length thicker nitrile gloves, an apron, and a face shield is
required. These items are dedicated for the acid work and re-usable.
We would replace them if they are damaged.
Outside the Clean Room we have similar protocols except we don't have
the initial layer to prevent particle contamination and we don't use
cleanroom-grade gloves.
I hope that helps a bit.
Thanks,
Nathanael
