Nitrile gloves offer not only a superior level of protection against certain oil-based chemicals, but they are also highly puncture-resistant, versatile and robust. Despite common misconceptions that latex gloves provide better sensitivity and dexterity, Colour-coding of gloves helps users to manage risk and avoid contamination by allocating certain colours to specific tasks (for example, using one colour for raw food handling and another for ready-to-eat foods).

Nitrile gloves tested to EN1186 are also safe for contact with all food types, making them suitable for use throughout the food processing industry. Nitrile glove ranges also include anti-static varieties (preferred for those working with electronic components), powder-free options, and gloves designed with textured finger grips for increased dexterity.
