Nitrile Gloves

Nitrile rubber is a synthetic elastic material noted for its oil and chemical resistance. Nitrile gloves offer better cut, puncture and abrasion resistant than latex. Nitrile gloves protect from a broad range of chemicals like solvents, greases, oils and alkali solutions. They also provide an effective barrier from bloodborne pathogens. Nitrile gloves offer a very comfortable fit. The synthetic nitrile polymers which make up the gloves respond to your body temperature and essentially mold the gloves to the shape of your hand. Nitrile gloves are often offered with a textured grip to provide a non-slip grip that makes it easier to hold objects, especially when they are wet. Gloves are ambidextrous and available in powered or power-free styles.

Unlike other latex gloves, nitrile gloves have low resistance to friction and are very easy to slide on. There are a few other reasons that nitrile gloves are more popular than other latex or vinyl gloves, including a higher degree of flexibility and superior solvent resistance. When choosing a glove, there are a few points to consider. You should consider how much protection you need, the glove's quality and how it is made, and whether you have any allergic reactions to the glove’s material.
