Nitrile was developed as an alternative to latex to avoid the allergy issues that latex can cause in some people. Nitrile gloves protect the skin from chemicals and are more puncture resistant than latex gloves. This is why they are widely used in healthcare, and they also have good elasticity and adaptability, which provides comfort to the user.
The treatment applied to the inner surface of the gloves reduces the risk of contact dermatitis. This is ideal for people with excessive sweating and low tolerance to powder. Nitrile gloves are also more resistant to friction and wear than other gloves of similar thickness.
There are two types of nitrile gloves:
- Those without textile backing and disposable, used by healthcare professionals (for patient examination, handling instruments and diagnostic tests), by the food industry, hairdressing and beauty salons, etc.
- Those with textile backing, which are used in the industrial, construction and agricultural sector. They perform well with petroleum derivatives (diesel, petrol, etc.), animal, vegetable and mineral oils and fats, and milk and milk derivatives. Also with acid substances, alcohols, aromatic solvents, etc.
