Nitrile is an organic compound derived from combining butadiene and Acrylonitrile. Synthetic polymer is an alternative to latex, vinyl, and other disposable gloves materials. Traditionally, it has been used as an elastomer in the seal industry. However, it has become the go-to material for non-latex gloves and similar PPE in recent years.

Yes, nitrile gloves are disposable. Therefore, they’re unsuitable for washing, reprocessing, or decontamination. However, they’re more durable than conventional variants, meaning you can protect against chemicals and injuries for longer periods.

Nitrile safety gloves, especially black ones, are perfect for technicians, mechanics, and other professionals in the automotive and manufacturing industry. Along with hiding stains, they also provide better protection against different types of hazards in dangerous environments. S&G provides 8-mil diamond-textured black nitrile gloves for automotive and manufacturing use that provide better grip and are more cut/puncture-resistant and durable.

Nitrile gloves are food-safe, meaning you can use them for preparation, packaging, and handling. Our nitrile gloves are commonly used by restaurants, catering services, meat shops, street food vendors, and food processing plants.

Just like latex gloves, nitrile gloves are traditionally blue. However, you can also find them in different colors, including orange, black, purple, gray, pink, and more. Many industries and businesses also use different colored gloves to separate departments, professionals, and processes.
