Powder handling inside a glove box requires special features due to the less desirable properties of the material and the contained environment. Features may include static elimination, laminar flow gas, antistatic window, drum-handling facilities, bagging facilities, rail and transfer handling and vacuum cleaning.

Static electricity can have a detrimental effect when handling powders due to the interaction of electrical charges between the material and the bulk of equipment. Static elimination can reduce these problems to a minimum aided by laminar flow gas.
