Nitrile gloves are different from latex gloves. Latex gloves are also called rubber gloves. Latex is a natural material made from rubber tree sap. Natural latex is a biosynthetic product. Due to different tree species, geology, climate and other related conditions, its composition and structure are often very different. In fresh latex without any added substances, rubber hydrocarbons only account for 20%-40% of the total, and the rest are non-rubber components and water. Non-rubber components include proteins, lipids, sugars and inorganic components. Some of them form composite structures with rubber particles, some dissolve in whey or form non-rubber particles. Nitrile is an artificial rubber, mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene, and is a key material for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates.Compared with latex gloves, nitrile gloves are less prone to allergies. Latex gloves contain protein and are prone to allergic reactions to people with allergies. Nitrile gloves do not contain harmful substances such as proteins and amino compounds, and there are few allergies.Nitrile gloves are more puncture resistant than latex gloves. The toughness and abrasion resistance of latex gloves are slightly lower than nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves are three to five times more puncture resistant than latex. For dentists who need sharp tools, the use of durable nitrile gloves creates a safer barrier in contact with patients.The elasticity of nitrile gloves is different from that of latex gloves. Latex gloves are soft and wear-resistant, and their elasticity is better than nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves and latex gloves have different prices. The price of nitrile gloves is much higher than latex products, because nitrile has better chemical resistance and acid and alkali resistance than latex. Nitrile gloves have certain antistatic properties, low surface chemical residues, low ionic content, and low particle content, making them suitable for strict clean room environments.
