Latex Gloves You Can Trust.

Disposable gloves help protect you through thick and thin.But the choice between thin gloves and thick gloves isn’t simply a question of cost or durability. 

In reality, glove thickness makes a dramatic difference in how a pair of gloves performs. 


Thinner Gloves vs. Thicker Gloves

What’s in a glove? A glove by any other thickness would work as well, right? 

Not exactly. 

When you consider glove thickness, you’re essentially making a choice between tactile sensitivity and durability. Think about it: the more material, the stronger the glove, but on the other hand, the more material to get in the way of the sensory receptors in your hands. 

This is an important decision when choosing latex gloves, since latex is still a popular material for surgeons and medical professionals. Latex is known for retaining a high degree of tactile sensitivity, which is important in medical work where details make the difference (or even save someone’s life). 

And one way or another, the more material, the less tactile sensitivity you have to work with, regardless of whether you choose latex or nitrile gloves. 

In addition, more material generally means less dexterity. After all, there’s more material that has to stretch with you, and the thicker the glove, the harder the stretch. That’s good news if you need the glove to protect your hand against punctures, but not so much if you need your hands mobile.

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
