What are nitrile gloves? What is the difference between nitrile and rubber gloves?

Nitrile gloves, sometimes called nitrile gloves, are safety and protective gloves made of nitrile rubber material, with excellent resistance to organic chemicals, good physics, anti-static properties, comfortable style, and are commonly used in hardware factories, medical check-ups, food enterprises, domestic work hard work, chemical plants, aquaculture, glass and steel products and their scientific research applications. Nitrile gloves are a kind of vulcanized rubber gloves, but there are some differences with the general vulcanized rubber gloves in terms of materials, characteristics and main uses. Here’s a look at the properties of nitrile gloves!

I. What are nitrile gloves?

Nitrile gloves are a kind of gloves made from the composite material nitrile rubber (NBR) through the production process, which is a chemical substance derived from the fusion of different molecular structures. In the case of NBR, scientists fuse butadiene and acrylonitrile according to a convergence process. This molecular structure gives the glove its properties: acrylonitrile improves acidity, while butadiene creates coordination and tear resistance.

Second, the characteristics of nitrile gloves

1, with excellent resistance to organic chemical properties, anti certain ph acidity and alkalinity, organic solvents, crude oil and other corrosive chemicals to give excellent organic chemical safety protection.

2, good physical properties, excellent resilience, anti-puncture, anti-friction properties.

3, comfortable style, according to the human design design program of the glove palm and bent fingertips to make wearing comfortable, conducive to the blood circulation system.

4, no protein, hydroxyl chemicals and other harmful substances, very little skin allergies. 5, the dissolution time is short, very easy to solve, beneficial to environmental protection. 6, no silicon composition, there is a certain anti-static performance, suitable for the electronics industry manufacturing must. 7, the surface layer of organic chemical residues low, low positive ion composition, small particle composition, suitable for harsh clean room natural environment.

Three, nitrile gloves and vulcanized rubber gloves what is the difference

Nitrile gloves are made of nitrile rubber gloves, also belong to a kind of vulcanized rubber gloves, but the two also have some differences.

The key differences between latex gloves and nitrile gloves are the following.

1、The material is not the same

Latex gloves are produced and processed from natural latex, nitrile gloves are produced and processed from nitrile rubber.

2, the characteristics are not the same

Latex gloves: latex gloves with abrasion resistance, puncture resistance; strong acids and bases, vegetable oils and fats, gasoline and a variety of organic solvents, etc.; has a universal resistance to chemical properties, the actual effect of oil resistance is excellent; latex gloves characteristics have a distinctive fingertip pattern design program, greatly improve the grip, reasonable to avoid running off. Nitrile gloves: nitrile rubber checking gloves can be worn by both left and right hand, 100% nitrile rubber natural latex production and manufacturing, no protein, reasonably prevent protein allergy; key performance is puncture resistance, acid and alkali resistance and water washing resistance; hemp-like surface treatment, prevent the application of the equipment slip off; high tensile strength to prevent the tear when wearing; no powder after the solution, easy to wear, reasonably prevent caused by the powder Allergy.

3、The main use is not the same

Latex gloves are used in industrial production, diagnosis and treatment, beauty care and other fields, suitable for mechanical manufacturing, rechargeable battery processing manufacturing, glass fiber reinforced plastic anti-corrosion field, airport installation, aerospace industry, natural environment cleaning and removal and other industries. Nitrile gloves are critically used in the practical fields of diagnosis and treatment, environmental health, beauty and body care, food industry, processing plant maintenance, etc.

Fourth, latex gloves and nitrile gloves which is better

The advantage of nitrile gloves is no skin allergy, biodegradable, can be coupled with color paste, more colorful hues, and nitrile gloves can be the ultimate memory arm posture, long-term wear will not feel tired; defect is poor ductility, the price is higher than natural latex goods, but despite the high price, but the actual effect of nitrile gloves material solvent resistance and corrosion resistance than natural latex is much better. The advantage of latex gloves is good ductility, biodegradable, layers of feeling soft, the defect is with allergens, it is likely that part of the group allergens reflect. It is not difficult to see that nitrile gloves and latex gloves have their own advantages and disadvantages, can be based on my preference to select nitrile rubber or latex gloves, but from the overall comfort and technical content, it seems that nitrile gloves are a little stronger than latex gloves, especially in the medical industry.
