Black Nitrile Gloves: Applications

The need for safety gloves can arise in almost any workplace, no matter how low-risk the environment. From cleaning to food preparation, to working alongside chemicals and other hazardous materials, safety gloves not only protect workers from potentially harmful materials, but can also protect the people, products and materials from contamination by the worker themselves. In some instances, gloves can also make the working environment more comfortable for workers and third parties. This is where black nitrile gloves are particularly useful.

Pidegree have been producing disposable safety gloves for decades, constantly innovating to provide our clients with industry-specific gloves which keep hands safe and make jobs easier. Our gloves ranges come in a variety of colours and materials to suit a wide range of industrial applications. Our black nitrile gloves products are a popular choice for those in the tattooing, printing, painting, automotive and manufacturing fields.


Applications for black nitrile gloves

As well as being latex-free, black nitrile gloves offer an excellent level of protection against chemicals, biohazards, tears and abrasions. This makes disposable nitrile gloves a superior disposable glove solution for almost any workplace, including higher-risk environments like medical settings, chemical handling, manufacturing and more. It also means they’re a preferred solution over latex gloves, due to the latex allergies which might affect a small percentage of workers or those they encounter. It is important to note that no disposable safety glove will provide perfect protection against punctures and tears from sharp or abrasive materials, and that proper risk assessments should be done in all workplaces.

For some workplaces, however, protection against chemicals or other hazards is only part of the equation. Black nitrile gloves are ideal for workers in the tattooing, printing and painting, agriculture and mechanical fields, where contact with blood, bodily fluids, or staining materials like inks and oils are expected. Black gloves not only protect the hands from staining or becoming contaminated but offer an added bonus over lighter coloured gloves in that they mask the colour of blood, ink and more. This makes for a more pleasant workplace and a much more pleasant experience for tattoo clients, for example. Black gloves can also be easier on the eyes of workers when being worn for extended periods of time.

Black nitrile gloves also allow for ease of detection of light fluid colour changes, which is beneficial in the dairy industry for example, where workers may have to manually detect mastitis by the changed colour of milk from animals. The powder free varieties in our nitrile gloves ranges also help to reduce the risk of contamination.

What You Should Know About Disposable Gloves

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 cleaning agent) on them, after a

The Best Guide to Textured Gloves

    The inner surface of your gloves needs to be smooth and comfortable. Have you ever thought about the glove’s outer surface? Textured gloves happen to have a rough outer surface. What are textured gloves? Have you ever examined the outer surface of a glove and noticed indentations? I am sure you have. These are what we call textured gloves.  Unlike regular gloves, they have patterns on their outer surface. These patterns can be straight lines, sand-like exteriors, dots, or geometrical shapes. 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 and aggressively tex
