Glove Plus Lite Powder Free Nitrile MEDIUM

What are Nitrile Gloves?

Nitrile is a synthetic type of glove and has a higher resistance to acids and oils than those made from natural latex, which makes them advantageous when people are in situations where they may be exposed to such materials. Nitrile gloves are also naturally abrasion and puncture resistant as well, which adds even more protection to the wearer.

Nitrile vs Latex Gloves

For many, Nitrile gloves are the obvious choice for people with latex allergies. However there are many other benefits to choosing Nitrile gloves over latex gloves. 

• Allergy friendly - perfect for those suffering with a latex allergy.
• Nitrile gloves provided better durability, providing better protection against tears and abrasions. 
• Better protection against chemicals, oil and solvents compared to latex gloves.

Nitrile Glove uses

When it comes to examination gloves, nitrile can be used in an almost unlimited number of ways and across dozens, if not hundreds, of professions. In fact, thanks to the nature of these gloves, nitrile has often become the first choice for many professionals throughout the globe. Nitrile gloves are often used in the following ways, though this is certainly not a complete list:

• The medical industry loves this material, as it provides great protection against contamination and better durability than latex.
• Scientists handling caustic or dangerous materials rely on these gloves to ensure they have enough dexterity to handle samples safely.
• Tattoo artists and body piercers use these gloves to keep their customers safe and healthy while performing body modifications.
• Food service professionals use nitrile gloves as the material can be made food-safe, making these gloves an excellent choice for preparing, handling, and serving food.
• Hairdressers often wear these gloves while dyeing or treating customers’ hair to protect themselves from hair chemicals and to provide a sterile environment for their customers.
• Auto mechanics and other tradesmen use nitrile gloves to protect themselves from grease, oil, and other related damage while working on engines, transmissions, and other components.
• While Carpenters and construction workers don’t use disposable nitrile gloves very often, many wear cloth or canvas safety gloves coated in nitrile to provide an extra layer of protection and grip while on the job.
