What are Nitrile gloves?

Nitrile is the superior material for today’s disposable gloves. Nitrile, also known as NBR, is a form of synthetic rubber with an unusually high resistance to oil, fuel and other chemicals. The more nitrile within the polymer, the greater the protection from oils, but the lower the flexibility.

Nitrile has a higher puncture resistance than any other glove material. Nitrile also has a better chemical resistance than Latex or Vinyl gloves. … Latex gloves are the most commonly used disposable gloves because they have been the only strong disposable glove material option on the market.

Nitrile gloves are BPA, phthalate and latex free.
