Nitrile Gloves

Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber called nitrile-butadiene. They are latex-free, which makes them a good choice for people with latex allergies.

Nitrile gloves are known for their superior chemical resistance compared to latex and vinyl gloves. However, no glove material can protect against all types of chemicals, so it's essential to check the specific resistance of a glove before using it with hazardous chemicals.

Nitrile gloves are designed for single use and should not be washed or reused. Reuse can lead to a breakdown in the glove material and potential contamination.

Nitrile gloves are generally more durable and puncture-resistant than latex and vinyl gloves. However, they should still be inspected for tears or holes before use. Thicker gloves provide better protection than thinner gloves, regardless of the material.

Nitrile gloves typically come in standard sizes of small, medium, large, and extra large. Some brands may also offer an extra small or a range of larger sizes. It's always best to refer to the brand's specific sizing guide to ensure a proper fit.

Nitrile gloves should be stored in their original packaging, away from heat, sunlight, and chemicals. They should also be kept in a dry environment to prevent them from absorbing moisture and degrading.

Yes, nitrile gloves come in different thicknesses, usually measured in mils. Thinner gloves (around 3-4 mils) offer more flexibility and tactile sensitivity, while thicker gloves (6+ mils) provide more durability and protection. The right thickness depends on your specific needs and tasks.
