Disposable Nitrile Gloves - Superior

MICRO-TOUCH™ NITRA-TEX™, Nitrile Gloves, Exam, Durable, Blue

Durable, powder-free nitrile gloves providing enhanced barrier protection for more demanding routine laboratory tasks.

Key Features

• Enhanced durability: Thicker palm and fingertips for more durable protection in moderate to higher risk tasks

• Type B: Tested for resistance to chemical permeation and suitable for protection against incidental chemical splashes

• Low AQL 1.0: Offers better barrier protection 

• Powder-free nitrile: Latex-free construction helps reduce the risk of latex allergy and sensitisation associated with powdered gloves

• Comfortable fit: Soft synthetic formulation supports comfort during longer practical or preparation tasks

• Easy donning: A chlorinated inner surface allows the gloves to be put on more easily

Q = Which gloves conform to the new EN374 standards?
A = The new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulations applicable to gloves took effect in April 2018, though products covered by the previous regulations may still be sold for a further 12 months. EN 374-1: 2003 has now been replaced by EN ISO 374-1:2016.
 This covers the requirement for gloves offering chemical protection and is indicated on packaging and product leaflets/datasheets by a ‘fuming conical flask’ accompanied by ‘Type A’ ‘Type B’ or ‘Type C’ and between 1 and 6 letters, representing the chemicals tested for resistance against (see list).

 Our Nitrile gloves are the only type which have been tested for chemical resistance. However, this does not mean that Latex and Vinyl gloves are not resistant to chemicals, just that they have not been tested accordingly (many of these gloves are aimed at the food and hygiene industries so do not need testing for chemical resistance). Most disposable gloves are resistant at least to chemical splashes. If unsure about the chemical resistance, simply remove and replace the gloves if splashed with corrosive or aggressive chemicals.

 Our disposable nitrile gloves will soon conform to EN ISO 374-1: 2016/Type C (K, T), as well as EN ISO 374-5:2016 (micro-organisms (bacteria & fungi) and virus)
