Key Features and Benefits
- Industry-leading gloves offering unrivalled protection, cleanliness and quality
- Nitrile construction results in products that are stronger and leaner than latex gloves
- Feature better protection against a wider range of chemicals, including cytotoxic drugs
- Anti-static tested to protect the wearer and equipment in electrically charged areas
- Ambidextrous for wider range of use with the majority of people
- Textured fingertips enhance grip and tactile sensitivity for safer and more efficient processes
- Beaded cuffs add strength to the gloves, reducing the risk of tearing and increasing their durability
- Beaded cuffs also reduce roll down for easier donning and doffing
- Contain no natural rubber latex, silicone or powder, reducing skin irritation for the wearer
Why is Nitrile Used in Labs?
- Powder-free design is ideal for the wearer to operate without leaving residue
- Nitrile is significantly less susceptible to punctures and wounds
- Chemically resistant material is ideal for use in the majority of labs
- Stronger than a standard latex glove for more robust support
- Anti-latex design is super comfortable and can be used by those with allergies
- Their design is inherently micro-textured for enhanced grip when handling objects
Which Industries Benefit from Nitrile Gloves?
There are a number of industries that benefit from nitrile gloves. Some examples of these include:
- Medical and healthcare environments - due to their tactility, flexibility and tear and chemical resistance
- Automotive, oil and gas industries, due to their resistance to things like oil and other lubricants
- Food and beverage for the preparation of food and food transportation to prevent foodborne illnesses
- Chemical and petrochemical, due to their chemical resistance to a wide number of solutions
- Pharmaceutical, to prevent contamination and cross-contamination when handling hazardous materials
- Cleanroom and janitorial purposes for the prevention of skin sensitivities due to latex and latex allergies
- A huge range of other industries needing robust hand and finger protection
Flexible Gloves
These gloves are made of nitrile, a soft and flexible material with enhanced grip that contorts around the shape of your hand. Perfect for use in a range of applications, including in catering, medical and research environments, these gloves offer maximum comfort and grip when handling chemicals and other substances.
When Should I Wear Gloves?
Gloves are essential pieces of equipment in labs, since they protect the wearer and the wearer's experiment results. We therefore wearing these gloves in the following applications for use:
- When handling dangerous materials and solutions
- When handling chemicals of unknown toxicity
- When handling corrosive solutions and materials
- When handling rough or sharp-edged objects
- When handling very hot or very cold materials
How Do Nitrile Gloves Keep Workers Safe?
Labs require nitrile gloves for a few different reasons, but some specific examples include:
- Nitrile offers chemical resistance when handling acidic and alkaline solutions
- Nitrile gloves visibly rip when punctured, avoiding contamination
- This visible ripping ensures any chemical-skin contact is treated
- Nitrile gloves are hypoallergenic to sufferers of latex allergies and skin sensitivities
What Labs Need Gloves?
Proper hand protection is recommended in the majority of labs, however, we recommend using nitrile gloves in the following types of research facilities:
- Diagnostic Laboratories for safety when handling infections and diseases
- Hospital Laboratories for patient-clinician hygiene and prevention of disease
- Clinical Laboratories for protection when analysing samples such as blood tests
- Research and University Laboratories to teach good lab practises and hygiene
