The difference between nitrile gloves and latex gloves

     Everyone knows that in the world of disposable labor protection gloves, there are two giants, namely nitrile gloves and latex gloves. Also for this reason, many users do not know which one to choose when choosing labor protection gloves. Let Incore briefly analyze the differences between the two and how to choose.

1. Material differences.      Latex gloves are also called rubber gloves. Latex is a natural material derived from rubber tree sap. Natural latex is a biosynthetic product. Due to different tree species, geology, climate and other related conditions, their composition and structure often vary greatly. In the fresh latex without adding any substances, rubber hydrocarbons only account for 20%-40% of the total, and the rest are non-rubber components and water. Non-rubber components include protein, fat, sugar and inorganic components. Some of them form a composite structure with rubber particles, and some are dissolved in whey or form non-rubber particles.       Nitrile is a kind of artificial rubber, mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene, and is a key material for organic synthesis and medical intermediates.

2. Classification differences.       Latex gloves are divided into ordinary powder type and powder-free purification type, smooth surface and pitted surface are non-slip.       Nitrile gloves are classified into non-slip palm surface and hand-tip surface non-slip. The overall pitted surface is non-slip and generally powder-free.

3. Prevent allergies.        Latex gloves contain protein and are prone to allergic reactions to people with allergies.        Nitrile gloves do not contain harmful substances such as proteins and amino compounds, and are rarely allergic.

4. Degradability. Latex gloves and nitrile gloves are degradable, easy to handle, and environmentally friendly.

5. Puncture resistance.        Compared with nitrile gloves, the toughness and abrasion resistance of latex gloves are three to five times higher than latex. For dentists who need to use sharp tools, the use of durable nitrile gloves can create a safer barrier in contact with the patient.

6. Flexibility. Latex gloves are soft and wear-resistant, and have better elasticity than nitrile gloves.

7. Fit the hand shape.        Since nitrile gloves contain butadiene monomers, they can become a flexible rubber that allows the wearer to experience good tactile sensitivity. In addition, due to its good thermal conductivity, this property provides excellent flexibility, which is particularly important for medical professionals or people who manipulate small parts or tools.

8. Price.         Because nitrile materials have much better chemical resistance and acid and alkali resistance than latex, the price of nitrile gloves is higher than latex products.

9. Color.         The nitrile material can be added with pigments, and the color is bright. Can relieve the nervousness of the patient. In addition, nitrile gloves have certain antistatic properties due to their non-silicon content, low surface chemical residues, low ion content, and small particle content, which are suitable for strict clean room environments.
