Nitrile: The chemical resistant glove

Often called the best disposable gloves of the safety glove industry, nitrile gloves are popular disposable glove choice because of their high levels of chemical resistance – including resistance to certain acids - especially when compared to latex or vinyl gloves. 


Nitrile: The chemical resistant glove

"Hand protection must be worn in this area" signNitrile gloves are a synthetic rubber glove which is latex-free and designed to protect against a range of hazardous materials. Nitrile gloves’ acid resistance, in particular, makes them superior to other types of gloves in many important ways. Their composition of acrylonitrile, butadiene and carboxylic acid monomers creates a robust and versatile glove which is resistant to many of the chemicals and solvents commonly encountered in the workplace.

Nitrile gloves acid resistanceFor many workers, the potential hazards present in the workplace include acids, which can cause damage to the hands and arms and even be absorbed into the bloodstream if the proper precautions are not taken. Choosing the right glove for protecting workers against these risks involves selecting the appropriate material for the task and taking other factors into account, including the comfort of workers and the dexterity necessary to complete their work effectively while wearing the gloves.

 

“There are four requirements which must be met for any protective glove selected to be suitable. The glove must: be appropriate for the risk(s) and the conditions where it is used; take into account the ergonomic requirements and state of health of the person wearing it; fit the wearer correctly, if necessary, after adjustments; either prevent or control the risk involved without increasing the overall risk.”

 

Nitrile gloves’ acid resistance, on the other hand, offers protection to workers across a range of industries and against a range of acids.


Selecting the right acid resistant nitrile glove

We offer a wide range of industry-specific protective gloves, designed to protect workers against common risks found in their fields. Some of the industry sectors we cover include:



Automotive: Our  nitrile gloves’ acid resistance protects automotive workers against the acids commonly encountered in the industry, such as sulphuric acids found in car batteries, as well as grease and oils regularly present in automotive workplaces.

 

Food: Many weaker oil-based acids are used regularly in the food industry, making latex (suitable for weaker, water-based acids) and vinyl gloves an insufficient protective material.

 

General industry: Industrial workers come into contact with a huge variety of daily hazards, including abrasive materials, chemicals (including acids), and biological hazards.

    Nitrile is an engineered elastic material that offers substance and scraped spot opposition and is an excellent general-obligation material for gloves. Thin, disposable nitrile gloves are the most widely recognized gloves utilized when dealing with synthetic compounds in research centres; nonetheless, it is essential to recollect that slight nitrile elastic gives just restricted substance assurance.

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
