Nitrile gloves and latex gloves have wide application,such as electronic processing, mechanical processing, and food processing. As they are both disposable gloves. Many people do not know how to choose gloves when purchasing them. Below, we will introduce the differences between them.Advantages and Disadvantages of Nitrile Gloves and Latex Gloves.
Nitrile Gloves are made from synthetic rubber (NBR), Nitrile Glove is a synthetic rubber mainly composed of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Advantages: no allergies, biodegradable, can add pigments, and has bright colors. Disadvantages: poor elasticity, higher price than latex products. Nitrile material has much better chemical and acid and alkali resistance than latex, so it is more expensive.
Latex Gloves are made from natural latex (NR) Advantages: good elasticity Degradable Disadvantages: Differences between Nitrile Gloves and Latex Gloves in Some People’s Sensitization Reactions
(1)Material
Latex Gloves, also known as Rubber Gloves, are natural materials derived from rubber tree sap. Natural latex is a biosynthetic product, and its composition and colloidal structure often vary greatly due to differences in tree species, geology, climate, and other related conditions. In fresh latex without any added substances, rubber hydrocarbons only account for 20% -40% of the total amount, while the rest are small amounts of non rubber components and water. Non rubber components include proteins, lipids, sugars, and inorganic components. Some of them form a composite structure with rubber particles, while others dissolve in whey or form non rubber particles.
Nitrile gloves are a popular name for nitrile gloves, which are a type of rubber and a key raw material for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates. Mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene. Nitrile: A type of organic compound that has a special odor and decomposes when exposed to acids or bases.
(2)Characteristics
latex gloves: Compared to Nitrile gloves, their toughness and wear resistance are slightly inferior, but their elasticity is better. Their wear resistance, acid alkali resistance, and oil resistance are slightly worse than nitrile gloves, and their acid alkali resistance is slightly better than nitrile gloves. However, they are not suitable for allergic skin and long-term wear. Nitrile gloves: The material is relatively hard, with poor elasticity, good wear resistance, acid and alkaline resistance (some Nitrile gloves cannot prevent acetone, strong alcohol), anti-static, and will not cause allergic reactions to the skin. It is suitable for people with allergies and long-term wear.
