ACL Staticide 90NI-S White Anti-Static Powder Free Nitrile Finger Cots, Small
ACL Staticide 90NI-S White Anti-Static Powder Free Nitrile Finger Cots, Small
ACL Staticide 90NI-S white nitrile ESD finger cots provide latex-free fingertip coverage for handling sensitive parts while helping protect against skin and oil contamination. Their powder-free nitrile construction provides static control without carbon shedding, according to ACL. This Small size is supplied as 720 pieces per pack; the existing MTE listing specifies four packs per case.
Best Uses / Applications
The manufacturer's nitrile finger-cot datasheet identifies ESD-protected areas, electronics assembly, wire bonding, laser-diode handling, IC industries, avionics, marine and consumer electronics, repair stations and field repair kits. Select finger cots when localized coverage suits the task; choose appropriate full-hand protection when fingertips alone are insufficient.

Nitrile vs. Latex Finger Cots
| Selection factor | 90NI nitrile | ACL latex families |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Latex-free nitrile. | Natural latex. |
| Color selection | 90NI white; ACL also offers a blue nitrile family. | 70LA pink and 80LA black. |
| Electrical selection | Qualify the specified family against the required resistance and test method; do not substitute based on color alone. | |
| Sensitivity considerations | Alternative when natural latex must be avoided; other manufacturing components can still cause reactions. | Natural latex may cause allergic reactions. |
Handling and Selection Precautions
Inspect before use and replace damaged or contaminated cots under facility procedures. Discontinue use if redness or irritation occurs; latex-free does not mean free of every potential allergen. Nitrile's resistance to some chemicals is not universal chemical protection: verify compatibility with the actual substance, concentration and contact time. Powder-free and cleanroom-use descriptions do not establish sterility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 90NI-S?
The Small size in ACL's white nitrile ESD finger-cot family.
Are these latex-free?
Yes. They use nitrile rather than natural latex. Other components may still cause irritation or allergic reactions in some users.
How many are supplied?
ACL lists 720 per pack. The existing MTE listing specifies four packs per case.
What thickness is listed?
The hosted manufacturer datasheet, dated December 2017, lists 3 mil.
Are they sterile or suitable for every chemical?
Neither is established. Verify sterility requirements separately and qualify chemical compatibility for the actual process.
Why choose white nitrile finger cots?
ACL describes white as a way to distinguish static-protective finger cots in facilities using both ESD and non-ESD products. Nitrile also provides a latex-free material option.
