First. What are nitrile gloves?
Nitrile gloves are a kind of gloves produced by the processing of the synthetic material Nitrile Rubber (NBR), which is a substance derived through the combination of different molecules. In the case of NBR, chemists combine butadiene and acrylonitrile through a process of polymerisation. These molecules provide the properties of the gloves: acrylonitrile enhances the chemical properties, while butadiene creates flexibility and tear resistance.
Second. The characteristics of nitrile gloves.
1. Outstanding chemical resistance, against certain acidity and alkalinity, providing good chemical protection against solvents, oil and other corrosive substances.
2. Good physical properties, good resistance to tearing, puncture and friction.
3. comfortable style, according to the ergonomic design of the glove palm machine bending fingers to make wearing comfortable, conducive to blood circulation.
4. does not contain protein, amino compounds and other harmful substances, rarely produce allergies.
5. short degradation time, easy to deal with, favourable to environmental protection.
6. no silicon components, have a certain anti-static properties, suitable for the electronics industry production needs.
7. Low surface chemical residue, low ionic content, small particle content, suitable for strict clean room environment.
Third. What is the difference between nitrile gloves and rubber gloves?
Nitrile gloves are gloves made of nitrile like rubber, also belongs to a kind of rubber gloves, but there are some differences between the two.
The difference between latex gloves and nitrile gloves are mainly as follows.
1. the material is different
Latex gloves are made of latex, nitrile gloves are made of nitrile rubber.
2. different characteristics
Latex gloves:Latex gloves have abrasion resistance, puncture resistance, resistance to acid and alkali, grease, fuel and a variety of solvents, etc., with a wide range of anti-chemical properties, good oil effect; latex gloves features a unique fingertip texture design, greatly enhance the grip, effectively prevent slipping.
Nitrile gloves: Nitrile examination gloves can be worn by both right and left hands, 100% nitrile latex manufacturing, protein-free, effectively avoid protein allergies, the main properties are puncture resistance, oil resistance and solvent resistance, hemp-like surface treatment, avoiding the use of utensils slipping, high tensile strength to avoid tearing when wearing, powder-free treatment, easy to wear and effectively avoid the skin allergies caused by powder.
3. Different uses
Latex gloves are used in industrial, medical, beauty and other industries, suitable for automotive manufacturing, battery manufacturing, glass fiber reinforced plastic industry, aircraft assembly, aerospace and aviation fields, environmental cleaning and cleaning and other fields.
Nitrile gloves are mainly used in medical, health, beauty salon, food processing, factory repair and other operating industries.
Fourth. Which is better, latex gloves or nitrile gloves?
The advantages of nitrile gloves are non-allergic, biodegradable, can add pigment, more bright colours, and nitrile gloves can perfectly remember the hand movements, and won't feel fatigue when wearing them for a long time; the disadvantage is the poor elasticity, the price is higher than the latex products, however, although the price is high, but the nitrile gloves material is much better than the latex in terms of chemical and acid and alkali resistance. The advantages of latex gloves are good elasticity, biodegradable, soft texture, the disadvantage is that it contains allergens, may part of the population allergic reaction.
It can be seen that nitrile gloves and latex gloves have their own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose nitrile or latex gloves according to your personal preference, but from the overall comfort and the amount of technological fit, nitrile gloves are a little bit better than latex gloves, especially in the field of medical use.
