Frequently Asked Questions
Nitrile Gloves FAQ
Nitrile gloves are ideal for medical and dental procedures, chemical handling, food preparation, and any industry where protection against contaminants, puncture resistance, and chemical durability are required.
Nitrile gloves are latex-free, making them safe for individuals with latex allergies. They also offer better chemical resistance and durability, making them ideal for longer wear and more demanding tasks.
Nitrile gloves should not be used for tasks involving extreme heat or direct exposure to flames, as they are not heat-resistant. They are also not ideal for certain solvents that can degrade nitrile material over time.
Nitrile gloves are stronger and more puncture-resistant than vinyl gloves, which tend to be cheaper but offer less protection. Vinyl gloves are often used for short-term, low-risk tasks, while nitrile gloves are better suited for high-risk environments.
No, nitrile gloves are designed for long-term wear, especially in healthcare settings. However, it’s essential to ensure the gloves fit properly to avoid hand fatigue or restricted blood flow during extended use.
Nitrile gloves provide an effective barrier against bacteria and other pathogens. However, if a glove is damaged or punctured, it could allow bacteria to pass through.
Yes, nitrile gloves are widely used in medical environments because they provide an excellent barrier against bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.
Hospitals prefer nitrile gloves because they are latex-free, durable, and offer superior protection against bloodborne pathogens, chemicals, and bodily fluids. Their high level of puncture resistance ensures better protection in clinical settings.

The ideal thickness depends on the task. Medical and dental gloves are typically between 4-6 mil thickness, providing a balance between dexterity and protection. For heavy-duty industrial tasks, thicker gloves (6+ mil) may be preferable.
Medical-grade nitrile gloves are regulated by the FDA and meet specific safety standards for use in healthcare settings. Industrial-grade gloves are used for tasks such as handling chemicals and are tested for durability but may not meet the same stringent requirements as medical-grade gloves.
Nitrile gloves are preferred because they are latex-free, preventing allergic reactions, and offer superior chemical and puncture resistance compared to latex gloves.
