Frequently Asked Questions

Nitrile is a synthetic rubber derived from acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. Essentially, it is a synthetic version of latex. It is very resistant to chemicals and to puncture. More resistant than natural rubber to oils and acids, it is the material of our gloves.

Nitrile is formed through the combination of acrylonitrile and butadiene and is a copolymer. To produce the nitrile gloves, natural rubber is turned into latex rubber that late is reprocessed until the nitrile compound material is formed when all the latex proteins are removed. This process is what made nitrile gloves more expensive than latex gloves when it began to be commercialized. Due to the advancement of technology, nowadays, nitrile gloves are more cost-effective than before, which means today, nitrile and latex gloves are equally affordable. This process is also responsible for making nitrile gloves non-allergic.

Not all gloves are HACCP Certified Food Safe.

Yes. Our nitrile gloves are BPA free, as well as Phthalate-free, Vinyl Free, MBT free and powder-free.

Yes. They are waterproof and chemical resistant.

For a very long time, but for that, it is vital that you store your box in the right conditions. Your gloves can not be in direct sunlight nor near heat.

Nitrile is a waterproof, greaseproof, oilproof material and resistant to various chemicals that keep hands and surfaces protected from contamination. It is also very strong and resistant to puncture.

ProNitrile has a high chemical resistance if compared to latex gloves. But, some strong grade chemicals can eventually pass through. For common chemicals, it is a good protection option.

They are! But for that, they need to be separated from your regular recycling bin.

Nitrile gloves will biodegrade eventually, but they will take longer than latex gloves.

Yes. It is a processed rubber that is derived from rubber trees.

Compared to latex gloves, the allergy rate of nitrile gloves is low, so it is the best choice for people with sensitivity to latex.
