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.
Almost every industry in the 11 GICS sectors uses nitrile protection gloves, including manufacturing, construction, restoration, food, cleaning, healthcare, and chemicals. Any professional who requires protection from chemical/electrical discharges, biological hazards, or injuries caused by tears and punctures can use nitrile gloves.
Nitrile safety gloves are a superior alternative to latex and vinyl gloves. They’re more cut, temperature, tear, and puncture-resistant. Moreover, they’re ideal for wearers with latex allergies. Another reason nitrile safety gloves are better is their enhanced durability, making them more cost-effective, especially for professionals who use gloves daily.
Powder-free nitrile gloves don’t contain, which makes them anti-static in behavior. As a result, they’re stronger, more versatile, and provide better protection against oils, chemicals, and other hazardous materials.
Yes, nitrile gloves are the safest disposable gloves on the market depending on the quality, brand, and thickness. They offer excellent tactile sensitivity and provide adequate insulation and protection against heat, cold, and electrical/chemical discharges.
Yes, nitrile disposable gloves are incredibly heat-resistant. It can withstand temperatures up to 300°F and remain stable. Conversely, they’re also suitable for low-temperature applications up to -40°F.
