Description
Nitrile gloves are a type of disposable glove made from synthetic rubber, offering excellent resistance to punctures, tears, and chemicals. Unlike latex gloves, nitrile gloves are ideal for individuals with latex allergies. These gloves are commonly used in medical settings, foodservice, cleaning, and industrial applications due to their durability and flexibility. Nitrile gloves provide a secure fit, high sensitivity, and are available in various sizes and colors. They are also a more eco-friendly option compared to other disposable gloves as they can be manufactured without latex proteins.
Nitrile gloves are known for their strength and durability. They are significantly more puncture-resistant than latex gloves, making them an excellent choice for handling sharp objects, chemicals, or abrasive materials. The synthetic nitrile rubber is also resistant to oils, solvents, and certain acids, which makes these gloves strong in both medical and industrial applications.
While they offer high strength and protection, they are still flexible enough to provide comfort and dexterity. Nitrile gloves typically have a higher tensile strength (the amount of force they can withstand before breaking) compared to latex, which means they are less likely to tear or stretch out of shape.
This combination of strength and flexibility makes nitrile gloves one of the most reliable disposable glove options available.
