Transforming Technologies GL4504T-PK12, ESD Inspection Gloves, Finger Tip Coated, Large, Pack of 12 Pairs
Transforming Technologies GL4504T-PK12 ESD Inspection Gloves — Finger Tip Coated, Large, 12 Pairs
Transforming Technologies GL4504T ESD inspection gloves are seamless, fine-gauge knit gloves made from conductive nylon with carbon-suffused yarn, providing surface resistance in the ESD dissipative range (10⁶–10⁸ Ω per ANSI/ESD STM15.1). Micro-foamed polyurethane fingertip coating delivers high tactile sensitivity while protecting sensitive electronics from skin oils, particulates, and charge generation during handling, inspection, and assembly. Sold in packs of 12 pairs. Note: Sizes run small — they are designed for a snug, dexterous fit. Size up if between sizes.

Features & Benefits
- ESD Dissipative Construction — Carbon-suffused nylon reduces charge generation when handling ESD-sensitive components
- Micro-Foamed PU Fingertip Coating — Provides tactile sensitivity for precision inspection and assembly while protecting parts from direct skin contact
- Seamless Fine-Gauge Knit — Reduces pressure points and seam irritation during extended wear
- Breathable Design — Polyurethane coating increases airflow relative to full-coat gloves
- Washable & Reusable — Launderable for repeated use, reducing per-use cost
- Finished Rolled Cuff — Clean edge for comfort and ease of donning/doffing
Typical Applications
- PCB and SMT assembly inspection in ESD-controlled environments
- Semiconductor wafer and die handling
- Disk drive and optical component assembly
- Electronics inspection requiring high tactile sensitivity
- Any application requiring protection from skin oils, particulates, and ESD during precision handling
Care Instructions
- Use mild detergent only — less than a regular clothing load
- Do not use dish soap or bleach
- Do not put in the dryer — air dry only
- Launder separately or with similar ESD garments
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these gloves meet ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements?
The GL4504T provides surface resistance of 10⁶–10⁸ Ω per ANSI/ESD STM15.1, placing it in the dissipative range. Whether it meets your facility’s specific ANSI/ESD S20.20 program requirements depends on your ESD control plan and qualification process. Verify against your required resistance limits before use in a certified EPA.
Why do the sizes run small?
These gloves are intentionally designed to fit snugly to maximize dexterity and tactile feedback during precision inspection. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, size up. Check the GL4504T size chart or contact MTE Solutions for sizing guidance.
Can these gloves be used with fingercots instead?
ESD fingercots cover only individual fingers and are useful for spot work, but full gloves like the GL4504T protect the entire hand including the palm — important when cradling or supporting PCBs and assemblies. For full hand protection and consistent ESD performance across the handling surface, gloves are preferred over fingercots alone.
How many times can these gloves be laundered before ESD performance degrades?
Transforming Technologies does not specify a maximum wash cycle count. As with all ESD garments, periodic re-testing per ANSI/ESD STM15.1 after laundering is recommended to verify that resistance remains within specification for your program.
