FAQs

Are these gloves latex-free?

Yes, these are nitrile gloves, which are a synthetic alternative to latex and are latex-free.

Can I wash and reuse these gloves?

No, these are disposable examination gloves and are intended for single use only. Reusing them can compromise their protective barrier and hygiene.

What does 'powder-free' mean?

'Powder-free' means that the gloves have not been treated with cornstarch or other powders. This reduces the risk of skin irritation and contamination in sensitive environments.

What is the thickness of the fingertip and palm?

The fingertip thickness is 0.1mm, and the palm thickness is 0.08mm.

What is the best way to store unopened boxes of gloves?

Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their integrity.

Are these gloves suitable for handling food?

Yes, these nitrile gloves are suitable for food handling as they are powder-free and provide a protective barrier. Always ensure they are clean before use and dispose of them properly after handling food.

What is the difference between nitrile and latex gloves?

Nitrile gloves are made from a synthetic rubber and are resistant to punctures, tears, and certain chemicals. Latex gloves are made from natural rubber latex and can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Troubleshooting

Gloves tear easily during use.

Ensure you are using the correct size glove. An improperly fitting glove (too small or too large) is more prone to tearing. Also, check for sharp objects or rough surfaces that may cause punctures.

Difficulty putting on gloves.

Make sure your hands are completely dry. If hands are damp, the glove may stick. Ensure you are pulling the glove on correctly, starting from the cuff and working down the fingers.

Skin irritation after use.

Although powder-free, some individuals may have sensitivities to nitrile. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional.

Gloves feel too thick for fine tasks.

While designed for tactile sensitivity, extreme precision tasks might require gloves with thinner fingertips. Consider if the task's risk assessment warrants a thinner glove, balancing dexterity with protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Application:

Ensure hands are clean and dry before putting on the gloves. Grasp the cuff of the glove and pull it over the hand, ensuring it covers the wrist. Smooth out any wrinkles for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

These nitrile gloves are generally compatible with a wide range of common substances, including water-based solutions, dilute acids and bases, and oils. However, they may not be suitable for prolonged contact with certain aggressive solvents or strong oxidizing agents. Always refer to chemical resistance charts if specific chemical exposure is anticipated.

Care & Disposal:

  • These are single-use disposable gloves. Do not reuse.
  • Discard gloves immediately after use or when contaminated.
