Black nitrile gloves are the latex free alternative to black latex gloves. Latex free gloves are worn not only by those who are allergic to natural rubber latex but also because this allergy can develop as a result of the frequent exposure to latex. It also eliminates concerns about contact with those who are allergic.
Nitrile, which is an artificial rubber, is one of the most commonly used alternatives to latex in the manufacture of disposable gloves. It has the same strength and durability but better resistance to puncturing. It also offers good protection against hazardous and harmful chemical substances. Nitrile gloves have low friction so are easy to put on and take off. They allow excellent dexterity.
Black nitrile gloves are preferred by professionals in many industries, particularly where a glove is required that doesn’t show stains such as dyes and oils. This includes mechanics and tattooists. They are also used in law enforcement and security officers because the color fits in well with their uniforms.
Several manufacturers produce these gloves including Dynarex and Microflex. They are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses. They are powder free and often textured to aid grip.
Black nitrile gloves are the first choice for many professionals and are well established as one of the top selling non latex gloves.
