Nitrile gloves are made from a synthetic rubber material commonly used to manufacture gloves for the medical, food processing, and other related industries.
Are nitrile gloves food-grade?
Yes, they are.
Disposable nitrile gloves are primarily composed of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Derived from petroleum-based materials, they are available in a wide range of colors and are extensively used in sectors such as food processing, household chores, agriculture, and healthcare. Purified versions are also suitable for high-tech manufacturing, precision electronics production, laboratory work, and medical applications. While they are safe for food contact, nitrile gloves are slightly less elastic and somewhat more expensive than latex gloves. Users should exercise care when putting them on—pulling them slowly upward from the fingertips—to minimize resistance and prevent tearing.
