Eco Protective Technology (EPT)
The EPT additive attracts microorganisms
to consume and metabolize the glove
material into natural compounds –
making the glove biodegradable
in any active landfill.
Textured Fingertips
The textured fingertips allows
a secure grip on your samples.
Nitrile, Powder-Free Made of soft nitrile, the glove is
designed for a second skin feel.
Beaded Cuff The beaded cuff allows you to
easily don and take off the glove.
Reduced Waste Packaging
Packaged at 200 gloves per box
(as opposed to the standard 100),
the T-GEN uses less natural resources,
fuel consumption and waste.
Eco Protective Technology
The T-GEN gloves are fully biodegradable in any active landfill. The Eco Protective Technology (EPT) is a biodegradable additive that is included in the soft nitrile formula to increase decomposition. EPT attracts microorganisms to consume and metabolize the glove material into natural compounds, in turn being eco-friendly. The gloves are tested and comply with ASTM D5511 and EN 16523 methods. In a span of 513 days, the gloves show 36.7% biodegradation under accelerated conditions.

Biodegradability
In comparison to nitrile gloves which take 100 years to biodegrade, the T-GENs will only take 10 years. The findings from the ASTM D5511 method show that the T-GEN gloves biodegraded 16 times more than regular nitrile.
