ROS Nitrile disposable gloves

The benefits of nitrile gloves.

Nitrile gloves primarily serve to protect against infections and germs of all kinds. Compared to latex, nitrile gloves offer decisive advantages, which have proven to be particularly effective in contact with solvents and oils. Nitrile gloves are much more resistant to all kinds of chemicals. Thus they offer quite good protection against oils.

ROS Vinyl disposable gloves

Advantages of vinyl gloves.

Vinyl gloves can be produced much cheaper than examination gloves made of nitrile or latex. Added to this is the extremely smooth surface, which gives patients a particularly pleasant feeling, especially when wet. This is then the main reason for wearing vinyl gloves in the care sector. Another reason for wearing powder-free vinyl gloves is that they offer an excellent alternative for allergy sufferers.

16What are Nitrile Gloves made from?

Nitrile is a synthetic co-polymer, formed through acrylonitrile and butadiene combining. Nitrile gloves begin their lifecycle as rubber from rubber trees. They are then transformed into latex rubber. After they are turned into latex rubber, they are again reprocessed until they turn into the nitrile compound material. The extra processing removes all latex proteins. The extra step of processing in the glove creation process was originally why when nitrile gloves first hit the market, they were so expensive compared to latex. However, technological advancements have led to more cost-effective practices in the making of nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves are now just as affordable as latex gloves. The reprocessing and removal of all latex proteins means that nitrile material also has a lower allergy rate than latex.

17Are Nitrile Gloves recyclable and/or biodegradable?

Yes, Nitrile Gloves are recyclable. However, they need to go in a special separate recycling bin, as opposed to your standard recycling bin. You can buy them online, fill the box with your used disposable nitrile, vinyl, or latex gloves. As well, Nitrile Gloves are biodegradable! Nitrile disposable gloves will eventually biodegrade. However, they do take longer to break down then latex disposable gloves.

18Are Nitrile Gloves BPA free?

Nitrile Gloves are BPA free, Latex-free, Phthalate free, Vinyl Free, MBT free and often powder free.

19What do Nitrile Gloves protect against?

Nitrile Gloves protect the wearer’s hands. The nitrile material keeps the wears hands safe from any contamination, and they also stop the user from contaminating any item or surface that they are touching. Nitrile is waterproof, greaseproof, oil proof and most importantly, chemical resistant to a range of common chemicals and substances. Nitrile gloves are also commonly used in the medical industry due to their high puncture resistance, and dexterous strength.

20Are Nitrile Gloves hypoallergenic?

Nitrile Disposable gloves have a lower allergy rate than latex disposable gloves. Nitrile is the superior choice when it comes to people with allergies or sensitive skin.

21What are Vinyl Gloves made from?

Vinyl Gloves are manufactured from Polyvinyl Chloride Plastisol and are a popular choice for users who find themselves sensitive to Latex proteins or allergenic compounds. The material itself is extremely soft and provides a snug and comfortable fit. Vinyl gloves provide a reasonable resistance to oil and grease but are not as strong or as resistant to tearing as Nitrile gloves. For this reason, they are often used for lower risk non-invasive procedures.
