Nitrile Gloves
Nitrile is a soft elastic material with better puncture and abrasion resistance than latex or vinyl gloves. It is made from a synthetic polymer that exhibit rubber like characteristics when vulcanized. Its chemical name is Carboxylated Acrylonitrile Butadiene Latex. Being synthetic, it has no natural rubber latex proteins that cause allergy. Hence, it is suitable for those whom have such allergy issue. Compared to vinyl, super soft nitrile gloves are more elastic, and flexible resembling latex gloves. Thus providing less fatigue, and more comfort for longer hours of usage.
It has better resistance and to a wider range of toxic chemicals and common solvents, such as hydrocarbons, oils and fats. Thus, it is suitable for many industries. Nitrile gloves have good barrier protection properties, very durable and excellent strength. However, it is generally more expensive than latex or vinyl gloves.
