Frequently asked questions

What is nitrile?
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.

Are nitrile gloves disposable?
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.

Are nitrile protection gloves suitable for technicians and mechanics?
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.

Are nitrile safety gloves Ssuitable for food handling?

What color are nitrile gloves?
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.

Which industries use nitrile safety gloves?
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.
