Nitrile gloves are made of synthetic nitrile rubber. Compared with latex gloves, it has the advantages of superior puncture resistance, chemical resistance and anti-bacterial liquid penetration, and is relatively lighter, thinner, and more oil resistant. , Not easy to produce allergies. The disadvantages of nitrile gloves are insufficient elasticity, low temperature resistance, and poor electrical properties.
Latex gloves are made of natural latex. Compared with nitrile gloves, its electrical properties are better. Commonly used insulating gloves are generally made of latex. Latex gloves have absolute advantages in terms of elasticity, softness, comfort, and fit, and the price is usually lower than that of nitrile gloves. The disadvantage of latex gloves is that they have poor oil resistance and are prone to aging, and because natural latex contains proteinogen, some people may be allergic during use.
When working with epoxy resin, latex gloves are always replaced by nitrile gloves, because harmful amines penetrate latex gloves, and nitrile gloves can stop these amines.
Even when handling other resins, nitrile gloves will provide a better grade than latex gloves in most chemical varieties, when wet layup, resin diversion, prepreg processing, mixing and casting polyurethane resin, spray paint Or when painting, it is recommended to wear the gloves.
