Knowledge You Must Know About wear-resistant Nitrile Gloves

Disposable medical nitrile gloves are commonly used in the medical field and laboratories. Next, let's take a look at how to choose gloves that are suitable for your hand shape and what issues to pay attention to when using nitrile gloves.

1: How to choose nitrile gloves that are suitable for hand shape

The most common sizes of nitrile gloves are S, M, and L. When choosing gloves, be sure to choose the corresponding size based on your hand type. If you choose to be too large or too small, it may not match your hand shape and easily cause glove damage. If you are not sure what size to choose, you can first measure your palm width (excluding your thumb) and then choose the corresponding size.

2: Nitrile gloves should be used with caution when contacting these chemical reagents

Although nitrile gloves can strongly resist acids (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.), alkalis (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.), and have good chemical resistance, this does not mean that nitrile gloves can resist all chemical reagents such as chloroform, dichloroethane, phenol, benzaldehyde, hypochlorite solution, formaldehyde, xylene, etc.

If you wear nitrile gloves in the laboratory and come into contact with these chemical reagents for a long time, it is easy to corrode. It should be noted that nitrile gloves have poor protective performance against these reagents.

Secondly, when in contact with viscous substances, be careful not to stick gloves. Gloves are found to be sticky and difficult to tear with force. Teared gloves can contaminate hands with chemical reagents and require a new pair of gloves.

3: Avoid high temperature environments

Disposable nitrile gloves are relatively thin even if they have a stronge sealing ability. Do not wear nitrile gloves to directly contact objects and liquids with high temperatures to avoid burns. It is recommended to use nitrile gloves in a room temperature environment, and also to avoid direct sunlight. If the gloves are exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will cause aging. The puncture and tensile properties of aged nitrile gloves are significantly reduced, making it difficult to achieve the desired protective effect, So nitrile gloves should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and cool place to avoid direct sunlight.
