These Powder-Free Nitrile Examination Gloves are engineered for durability and sensitivity, making them suitable not only for medical examinations but also for demanding industrial applications like food processing, where hygiene and material integrity are paramount.
Technical Specifications & Material Science: Made from synthetic nitrile rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer), these gloves provide superior puncture, tear, and chemical resistance compared to natural rubber latex, especially against oils, greases, and certain solvents. The powder-free feature is achieved through a polymer coating or chlorination process, eliminating the risk of powder-related contamination or allergic reactions. They offer excellent tactile sensitivity due to their thin yet strong construction. The dark blue color is common for industrial and foodservice use, allowing for easy detection of glove tears or contamination. The textured fingertips enhance grip in wet or dry conditions.
Industry Standards & Compliance: Certified to FDA Title 21 CFR Part 177 for indirect food contact and often compliant with EC Regulation 1935/2004 for food contact materials. While suitable for medical examination (ASTM D3578), their primary certification for this product line is often for food safety (e.g., ISO 21420, previously EN 455). They are latex-free, addressing allergy concerns.
Application Scenarios:
- Dental Clinical Use: Ideal for non-sterile procedures, instrument cleaning, and surface disinfection.
- Food Manufacturing & Handling: Primary application, preventing direct hand contact with food products.
- Laboratory Work, Cleaning, and Light Industrial Tasks.
Usage Guidelines: Select the correct size for a secure fit. Inspect gloves for holes or tears before use. Change gloves between tasks, especially when moving from handling raw to ready-to-eat food, or after touching contaminated surfaces. Not intended for sterile surgical procedures.
Market Value Proposition: For distributors, these gloves bridge the medical and industrial markets. Their food-grade certification opens doors to large-scale contracts with food factories, catering services, and commercial kitchens, while their performance makes them a reliable, durable choice for dental clinics for non-sterile tasks. The powder-free, durable nitrile formulation meets modern safety and hygiene standards across multiple sectors.
