The process of using gloves may lead to some issues that cause you to question yourself. In the following article, Ecoglove will address the 3 most frequently asked questions by users regarding the use of Nitrile gloves.

WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE OF NITRILE GLOVES?

Choosing the correct glove size enhances hand movement flexibility and comfort. Properly fitting gloves should be snug, stretch well, and allow users to move their fingers freely while working throughout the day.

It’s important to check the glove’s measurement unit (inches or cm) to measure your hand size accurately. If you’re unable to measure correctly, prioritize selecting a size that corresponds to the length of your hand to minimize excess glove length, which can get caught in tools and machinery, potentially affecting operations and posing safety risks.

CAN DISINFECTANTS BE USED ON NITRILE GLOVES?

Nitrile gloves are resistant to various chemicals, including alcohol. The primary components of hand sanitizers are typically ethyl alcohol or ethanol, along with some fragrances. These ingredients are generally safe and should be applied directly to the hands before eating or drinking. Consequently, they will not compromise the structure of the gloves or diminish their durability.

Additionally, some disinfectants contain isopropyl as the main ingredient, which should not be inhaled or ingested; however, it does not impact the integrity of Nitrile gloves.

DOES COLOR AFFECT THE QUALITY OF NITRILE GLOVES?

The answer is no. Color does not influence the durability or protective quality of Nitrile gloves. Since the coloring process is akin to adding dyes during manufacturing, it does not impact the gloves’ quality. Traditional Nitrile gloves are blue to easily differentiate them from latex gloves. The current range of colors for Nitrile gloves primarily caters to industry needs.
