Black Nitrile Gloves are the perfect compromise between latex and vinyl. Nitrile is made from an allergy safe compound that feels a lot like latex but it's much stronger, costs less, and is more comfortable to wear. Nitrile is perfect for demanding applications, especially cleaning and dishwashing. Our lightly powdered versions are produced with a food grade corn starch powder, making it easier to take them on or off – especially with wet hands. Powder free gloves go through an extra process of chlorinating the gloves to ease donning.
