Medical nitrile gloves appeared relatively recently, in connection with this they are not very widespread. However, their scope is constantly expanding. Nitrile is a material that easily adapts to the shape of the hand, is resistant to mechanical and chemical effects, and reliably protects against viruses and bacteria. Nitrile gloves are practically inferior to latex gloves in elasticity and resilience. At the same time, synthetic material does not contain chemical components, proteins, allergens.
Nitrile gloves have proven themselves in work under conditions of high probability of infection, during surgical operations, dental interventions of varying complexity. The increased strength of the material additionally provides protection against punctures and tears, reduces the likelihood of a violation of sterility and the penetration of infection into the body of a doctor or patient.
Nitrile gloves are very comfortable. In addition to the fact that they are hypoallergenic, they provide a comfortable fit to the hand and freedom of movement, reduce sweating of the palms, do not cause dermatitis. They are recommended for use in the presence of an allergy to latex, as well as for working with patients at risk.
Manufacturers are constantly working to improve the material. One of the main tasks is to reduce its thickness. Now nitrile gloves have a thickness comparable to latex. In addition, new formulations for processing are constantly being developed. Experts predict that over time, nitrile gloves can make significant competition with latex gloves in the future. Already today, despite the relatively high cost, they are a very promising product.
Nitrile rubber is characterized by high strength, the ability to maintain all its characteristics in a fairly wide temperature range. Due to this, products from this material can be used at temperatures from minus twenty to plus one hundred and thirty degrees.
In addition to the medical sector, nitrile rubber gloves are also used in industries characterized by the presence of traumatic factors.
Backgammon with its useful qualities (resistance to acids, alkalis, oil products, mechanical and other damage), the products are soft. They do not provoke skin irritations, are not stores of
static electricity.Gloves made of nitrile rubber are used, thus, in domestic conditions when working with washing powders and detergents, during plumbing, in construction and installation works (when using caustic solvents, paints, varnishes and other materials). In metallurgy, products protect hands during cutting, forging, and casting, preventing mechanical damage to the hands, as well as dropping hot metal. In petrochemistry, gloves are indispensable because they prevent the ingress of chemical compounds and oil products onto the skin.
