The difference between rubber gloves and nitrile gloves

Labor protection gloves still have a certain effect on the operator, which can effectively reduce the hazard. Below, Shanghai C&G editor will tell you the difference between rubber gloves and nitrile gloves.

1. The materials of nitrile gloves and rubber gloves are different. Rubber gloves are made of natural materials. Nitrile is a kind of artificial rubber, which is mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is a key material for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates .

2. Nitrile gloves are not prone to allergies, and rubber gloves are prone to allergies, especially those with physical allergies. The main reason is that nitrile gloves do not contain harmful substances such as protein and amino compounds.

3. Nitrile gloves are not easy to be punctured. The puncture resistance of nitrile gloves is three to five times that of rubber gloves. For dentists who require sharp tools, durable nitrile gloves create a safer barrier in patient contact.

4. The elasticity of rubber gloves is better, while nitrile gloves are slightly worse.

5. The price of nitrile gloves is more expensive than rubber gloves, because nitrile gloves are more resistant to chemicals and acids and alkalis.

6. Nitrile gloves have certain antistatic properties, low surface chemical residues, low ion content, small particle content, and are suitable for strict clean room environments.

Different fields of application

Nitrile gloves are mainly used in operating industries such as treatment, hygiene, beauty salons, food processing, and factory repairs. Rubber gloves are used in industry, treatment, beauty and other industries, and are suitable for automobile manufacturing, battery manufacturing, glass fiber reinforced plastic industry, aircraft assembly, aerospace field, environmental cleaning and cleaning and other fields.
