Nitrile Gloves

What are Nitrile Gloves?

Nitrile Gloves are disposable gloves made from a synthetic rubber copolymer. Nitrile rubber is stronger than natural rubber and more resistant to chemicals and oils. Because of this difference Nitrile Gloves are preferable to Latex Gloves as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as Nitrile Gloves are more puncture resistant and are far less likely to cause an allergic reaction.

Why should I buy Nitrile Gloves?

Disposable Nitrile Gloves are extremely robust making them resistant to punctures, which is why they are often used in the dental, medical, and laboratory professions.

How do I know if I'm allergic to Latex Gloves?

Allergies to latex can cause itching, hives and redness. More severe allergies may also cause breathlessness. If any of these conditions arise whilst handling latex seek medical attention to confirm the allergy and avoid latex gloves; instead buy nitrile gloves.
