Superior Quality Nitrile Rubber Gloves

Durable, Disposable, and Not Made With Natural Rubber Latex

Nitrile gloves are disposable, synthetic rubber gloves that have become the essential standard for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in medical, industrial, and food service settings. Because they are not made with natural rubber latex, they eliminate the risk of Type I allergic reactions associated with natural rubber, making them the safe choice for public interaction and users with skin sensitivities.

Beyond allergy safety, nitrile is chosen for its superior performance. It is ultra-durable, chemical-resistant, watertight, and offers exceptional touch sensitivity.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Not Made With Natural Rubber Latex: Safe for users with natural rubber sensitivities.

  • Puncture-Resistant: Keeps hands protected and clean longer; superior strength compared to standard vinyl or latex.

  • Chemical-Resistant: Provides a robust barrier against a wide range of harmful substances, oils, and biohazards.

  • Form-Fitting: Reacts to body heat to conform to the hand for a snug, comfortable grip and effortless dexterity all day.

  • Variety of Thicknesses: Ranges from 3 mil for precise handling to 8+ mil for heavy-duty protection.

  • Textured Options: Available with micro-roughened or diamond textures for a secure grip in wet or dry conditions.

What Are Nitrile Gloves Used For?

Nitrile gloves are molded in various sizes, colors, and designs to suit specific applications.

Medical vs. Industrial Grade

Medical Grade gloves are rigorously tested to meet FDA requirements for pathogen resistance, making them suitable for exams, surgery, and dental work. Industrial Grade gloves are engineered for durability, focusing on resistance to punctures, tears, and chemicals, making them ideal for automotive and janitorial work.

Industry Applications

Industry Usage Why Nitrile?
Healthcare Patient exams & procedures Pathogen barrier with high tactile sensitivity.
Automotive Mechanics & detailing Resists oil, grease, brake fluid, and gasoline.
Food Service Prep & handling Hygienic barrier that prevents cross-contamination.
Janitorial Sanitation & deep cleaning Protection from potent disinfectants and cleaning agents.
Tattoo Artists Tattooing & piercing Puncture resistance; black gloves hide ink stains.
Manufacturing Assembly & chemical handling Robust defense against industrial solvents.
Cannabis Processing & packaging Prevents contamination of oils and edibles.
Beauty Salons Hair dyeing & chemical treatments Protects skin from staining dyes and irritants.

 

How to Buy Nitrile Gloves

Choosing the right glove involves more than just size. Consider these factors to ensure cost-effectiveness and safety:

1. Select the Right Thickness (Mil)

  • Light Duty (3-4 mil): Best for tasks requiring maximum tactile sensitivity, such as food prep, light cleaning, and medical exams.

  • Medium Duty (5-6 mil): The "all-around" standard for lab work, tattoo artists, and general automotive tasks.

  • Heavy Duty (8-10+ mil): Essential for tough environments involving heavy machinery or harsh chemicals where tearing is not an option.

2. Texture and Grip

Disposable gloves are manufactured with different rubber compounds to change how they grip.

  • Smooth/Micro-Textured: Ideal for medical use where precision is key.

  • Aggressive/Diamond Texture: Features raised patterns to channel away liquids, providing a firm grip in slippery, oily environments.

3. Color Coding

While the color is often a result of dye and does not change the strength, it is useful for organization:

  • Blue/Violet: Standard for medical exams.

  • Black: Preferred by mechanics and tattoo artists for a professional look that hides grime.

  • High-Visibility (Orange/Green): Used in industrial settings to ensure safety compliance.

Nitrile Glove FAQs

What Are Nitrile Gloves Made Of?

Nitrile gloves are made from a synthetic copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. This synthetic rubber is processed to be stronger and more chemically resistant than natural rubber, without using natural rubber latex proteins.

Are These Gloves Made With Natural Rubber Latex?

No. All nitrile gloves sold on this site are not made with natural rubber latex. This ensures that users have a comfortable and safe alternative to natural rubber, avoiding associated allergy concerns.

Are Nitrile Gloves Chemical Resistant?

Yes. Nitrile is designed to resist a broad array of chemicals, making it a top choice for industries handling hazardous materials, solvents, oils, and fuels. Always refer to a specific chemical resistance chart for the exact substance you are handling.

How Long Do Nitrile Gloves Last?

When stored properly—away from heat, direct sunlight, and fluorescent lighting—nitrile gloves generally have a shelf life of up to 5 years.

What Size Do I Need?

A proper fit is crucial for dexterity and safety. Measure the width of your palm and refer to a sizing chart. If you are unsure or between sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size, as nitrile will conform to the hand but can tear if forced onto a hand that is too large.
