While disposable gloves are often used in a medical or industrial setting, they also have many uses around the home and workplace that don't involve touching a patient in an exam room or a specimen in a lab. In order to see which gloves performed the best, we put them through a series of experiments.   •  Durability  —We took a box cutter to each glove, and determined its durability by rating how easy it was to slice through the glove material. •  Resistance to tearing  —One the glove had a slice in it, we added weights that hung from the torn glove to see how much weight it would take for the glove to be torn apart when it was already damaged. •  Temperature resistance  —After setting the water temperature to "uncomfortably hot", we stuck our glove-covered hands under the water to see how long it took for us to actually feel the burn. •  Chemical resistance  —With most disposable gloves, if you get some sort of chemical (like a heavy-duty cl...

Thus, you will find that there are 3 types of gloves: smooth, micro-roughened, and aggressively textured. So, let’s differentiate between the three types. Micro-roughened gloves This type of texture is most common in manufacturing latex and nitrile gloves. Micro-roughened nitrile gloves constitute 95% of manufactured nitrile gloves. These gloves will look as if they have tiny sand particles on their outer surface.  Thus, this provides a moderate option between smooth gloves a...
