Nitrile Gloves

Superior Quality, Latex-Free, Nitrile Rubber Gloves

Durable and Disposable Gloves, Made Without Natural Latex Rubber

Nitrile gloves are disposable, non-latex gloves made from synthetic rubber. These disposable rubber gloves have become essential personal protective equipment (PPE) in medical and industrial settings, since they are not made with natural rubber latex that may cause allergies. Nitrile gloves are also ultra-durable, chemical-resistant, watertight, touch-sensitive, puncture, and tear-resistant and come in various thicknesses, colors, and textures. 

• Puncture-resistant: Keeping hands protected and clean longer with a single pair.
• Tear-resistant:  Durable for extended use in heavy-duty industrial or automotive conditions.
• Chemical-resistant: Protection from a wide range of harmful substances and biohazards.
• Latex-Free: No latex allergy contaminations or concerns.
• Form-fitting: For a snug, comfortable grip and effortless dexterity all day.
• Variety of thicknesses: For the perfect level of touch sensitivity for precise handling.
• Variety of colors: Color coding for different uses and a sleek, professional look.
• Variety of textures: Secure grip in all conditions, wet or dry.
  
  

What are Nitrile Gloves Used For?

Nitrile gloves come in various sizes and designs for multiple applications, including automotive, childcare, cleaning, food service, industrial, janitorial, manufacturing, and painting. Medical grade nitrile gloves are rigorously tested for quality, specifically for medical or surgical uses. 

Nitrile is a popular choice for medical exam gloves and in lab settings (and tattoo shops) for their touch sensitivity and puncture resistance. They can also be used to prevent cross-contamination in food prep – a common choice to avoid allergic reactions from latex.

Industrial grade gloves have fewer requirements, but can be just as strong and durable. Law enforcement chooses nitrile for their comfort and chemical resistance. Mechanics work smarter by using them for their durability and textured grips. Industrial grade gloves are recommended for many non-medical uses. 

• Healthcare Workers: Nitrile exam gloves for patient and personal safety during procedures.
• Sanitation and Cleaning: Be safe from potent disinfectants during rigorous cleaning tasks.
• Automotive: Engineered for tough garages, resisting oils, fuels, and automotive chemicals.
• Food Industry: Hygienic and grippy for safe food handling and fewer slip-related accidents.
• Manufacturing: Robust defense against a spectrum of industrial solvents and chemicals.
• Laboratories: Precision and protection for safe handling of sensitive chemicals.
• Tattoo Artists: Sleek black gloves embody professionalism in a hygienic environment.
• Law Enforcement: Protection in the field, collecting evidence, or in inmate interactions.
• Dentistry: A hygienic environment and a barrier to biohazards during dental procedures.
• Beauty Salons: Protects from dyes and skin irritants, so beauticians' hands remain pristine.
• Cannabis Manufacturing: Handle snacks, beverages, cosmetics, tinctures, and oils sanitarily.

Nitrile gloves are the all-around preferred disposable rubber gloves by many industrial, automotive, and medical uses for their softness and flexibility, molded in an extensive range of thicknesses, textures, and colors so that you can choose the perfect fit for the job. 

How to Buy Nitrile Gloves

Choosing the right glove for the job is key. Consider the glove thickness, which ranges from light (3 mil) for tasks requiring tactile sensitivity to thick nitrile disposable gloves (10 mil) for more robust jobs. You can choose colored nitrile gloves for specific tasks, to match company branding, or fit your personal preference and style. It’s a common misconception that certain colors are better or tougher, but it’s simply that a different dye has been added. 

Disposable gloves are manufactured with different types of rubber compounds to change how the glove feels, flexes, grips, and withstands wear. They can even be dipped at different angles to make parts of the glove thicker. Special textures and raised patterns can provide a firm grip in slippery conditions. Consider how important these features are when choosing your glove, and always be sure you select the right size for a snug fit that isn’t too tight – or too loose.
