Latex Gloves vs Nitrile Gloves

Latex and Nitrile gloves are well-known in both medical and non-medical gloves. They are known for their practicality and versatility. As anyone who has used medical gloves knows, latex and nitrile gloves are flexible and can do what PVC and TPE gloves cannot. We had Latex Gloves before we had nitrile gloves, what's the difference between latex gloves and nitrile gloves?

Latex gloves

Latex gloves are made from natural latex, the elasticity is better than nitrile gloves, not only is better than all the flexibility of Disposable gloves, latex gloves of elasticity is the existence of the top of all the disposable gloves, without any chemical composition. Faults? A lot of people will happen to coincide in the first time think of latex allergic, this is undeniable. But latex gloves do not affect everyone, only a very small percentage of people. Another disadvantage is that latex gloves cannot prevent static electricity, and has lost its place in the precision electronics industry. But those are just two of the drawbacks of latex gloves. Everything else is impeccable.

Nitrile gloves

Nitrile gloves are not as elastic as latex gloves, but they can make up for the shortcomings of latex gloves. They are made of chemical synthetic latex, do not contain natural proteins, do not have allergies, and are the best in antistatic disposable gloves. This is why nitrile gloves can compete with latex gloves.

Summary:

	Toughness	Anti-wear	Elasticity	Anti-static	Long time wear	Chemical resistance
Latex gloves	-	-	Better	NO	-	-
Nitrile gloves	Better	Better	-	YES	Better	Better

Now the production process of nitrile gloves is becoming more and more mature. In addition to the limitations of raw materials, the piercing, abrasion resistance and alkali resistance of nitrile gloves are also gradually increasing. Each pair of gloves has its advantages, no one is weaker than the other, each complements the other's shortcomings. Choose different gloves for different needs.
