Nitrile Glove Thickness, Why it Matters

 





Suppliers struggled to keep up with demand during the pandemic. So many nitrile gloves were manufactured thinner than usual. Now that demand has returned to normal, the question remains whether nitrile glove thickness matters. If so many people managed just fine with thinner gloves, should that become the new normal?




Q1

What You Get With a Thicker Nitrile Glove？

A1

Thicker gloves have many advantages, including:


- Increased durability

- Chemical resistance

- Protection from viruses and bacteria

- Better grip


Here is how each of these categories benefits the wearers.






Q2

 How is durability ？

A2

More durable gloves last longer and offer better protection. Resistance against tears and punctures protects users from the materials they’re working with.


As they last longer without damage, they also become more affordable. While they cost more individually, they last long enough that they’re a better investment.






Q3

How is chemical resistance？

A3

Thinner gloves are not strong enough to withstand exposure to many chemicals. Instead, chemicals can wear them down. Users end up exposed to the chemicals, which defeats the point of wearing gloves!





Q4

Whether it can protect the virus and bacterial damage？

A4

Particularly in the healthcare industry, protection against communicable diseases is essential. This protects each medical professional as well as their patients.


Thin nitrile gloves can’t offer this type of protection to the same degree that thicker ones can. Therefore, using thin gloves becomes all but pointless.







Nitrile Glove Thickness Matters!

As you can see, many of the benefits of a thicker glove come down to safety. Their durability, resistance to hazardous substances,and keep users safe. But only the best products offer all of these advantages.


Pidegree gloves are of the highest quality, while still being touch screen compatible! That means you can wear them all day long with no hassle.

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
