1. Nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber made from a unique compound formula used to create very soft and comfortable gloves that provide reliable protection against abrasion, oil and chemicals.
2. Nitrile rubber is now the most popular choice of protective glove material as an alternative to latex when allergic reactions are a concern.
3. Optimum protection and resistance to chemicals, punctures, abrasions and oils.
4. Excellent material softness and high sensitivity.
5. Not made of latex, a great option for people with allergies.
6. Various colors are available: blue, white, orange, purple, black.
1. Materials
TPE is a synthetic material with rubber-like properties—especially high flexibility and broad-spectrum chemical resistance. The material has good stretch ability, low modulus and good return to shape for wearer comfort. While TPE has similar chemical resistance to natural rubber latex, gloves are generally lighter and not suitable for work involving high mechanical risks.
However, there are multi-layer TPE gloves for use in high risk chemical environments. Finally, due to the chemical resistance of TPE, gloves can be exposed to hand sanitizer for extended use.
2. Wear resistance
TPE gloves are easy to put on and take off while providing high comfort and flexibility for the wearer. When worn, the soft material feels warm to the touch and conforms to the shape of the hand for a comfortable fit. Open cuffs make them ideal for workers who need to change and remove gloves frequently between tasks. The thin, flexible material makes TPE gloves ideal for activities that require prolonged flexibility, such as food preparation. These properties make them ideal for anyone who needs light hand protection every day.
3. Production process
The production process allows for a clean and economical product. TPE gloves are produced through a cutting and sealing process that allows rapid production of large quantities at relatively low cost. Very few chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, so the gloves are clean, powder-free and free of any residual allergens. This clean manufacturing process provides wearers with products that meet their needs who may often respond to hand protection. TPE gloves are also environmentally friendly because plastic products can be recycled.
4. Application
The comfort, low cost, and broad-spectrum chemical resistance of TPE gloves make them useful in a variety of applications. It makes them ideal for protection in low mechanical risk environments such as retail, grooming, housekeeping, cleaning, painting and household services.
1. Material: TPE has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processing properties of thermoplastics. It is a new type of polymer material between rubber and resin, often referred to as the third-generation rubber. Nitrile rubber is formed by the emulsion polymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile. They are all synthetic rubber.
2. Oil resistance is comparable, but TPE is not temperature resistant. The limit of nitrile rubber can be used to 120 degrees, TPE will soften at this temperature
3. Different prices, nitrile gloves are higher than TPE gloves.
