Nitrile gloves is a synthetic rubber, the main components are acrylonitrile and butadiene

Advantages: no allergies, degradable, pigments can be added, and the color is brighter.

Disadvantages: poor acid and alkali resistance, poor flexibility, higher prices than latex products

Nitrile gloves are popularly called, and nitrile is also a kind of rubber, harder, and is a key raw material for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates. Mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene. It has a special smell and decomposes when it meets acid or alkali. Poor elasticity, better abrasion resistance, anti-static property, and will not cause skin allergies, suitable for people who are prone to allergies and wear for a long time.


Latex gloves are also called rubber gloves. Latex is a natural material, derived from rubber tree sap. Rubber hydrocarbons only account for 20%-40% of the total, and the rest is a small amount of non-rubber components and water. Compared with nitrile gloves, latex gloves are slightly inferior in toughness and abrasion resistance, but have better elasticity, abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and grease resistance are slightly worse than nitrile, acid and alkali resistance is slightly better than nitrile, but not suitable Sensitive skin and prolonged wear.
