Choosing Nitrile Gloves

Start with thickness. Gloves of 3 to 5 mil keep touch sensitivity for exams and light tasks; gloves of 6 mil and up last longer in automotive and industrial work. Then choose grade (exam or general purpose), cuff length and grip.

What are nitrile gloves made of?

Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic nitrile-butadiene rubber, not natural rubber latex, so they are a common choice for people with latex allergies.

Are nitrile gloves resistant to chemicals?

Nitrile resists many oils, fuels and dilute chemicals better than latex or vinyl, but no glove resists every chemical. Check the manufacturer's chemical resistance data before handling hazardous chemicals.

Can nitrile gloves be reused?

No. Disposable nitrile gloves are single-use and should not be washed or reused.

What thicknesses are available?

Our range runs from 3.5 mil nitrile exam gloves to 10 mil heavy-duty nitrile gloves. Thinner gloves give more dexterity; thicker gloves give more durability.

What sizes do nitrile gloves come in?

Most styles come in small to extra-large, and some add extra-small or 2XL. Sizes are listed on each product page.

How should nitrile gloves be stored?

Keep them in the original box, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
