Latex Free, Powder Free Nitrile Exam Gloves

Nitrile gloves are made from a synthetic rubber blend, perfect for those who need a safe alternative to latex.

We stock a wide range of nitrile gloves with different thicknesses, substance resistance levels, and texture finishes. For example, some of our gloves are more flexible, great for tasks that need more tactile sensitivity. Others are thicker and tested for a wider range of chemical resistance. Let our glove consultants help you find the gloves you need.

If you have skin sensitivities, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional just to be sure. Other latex-free glove alternatives are neoprene gloves and vinyl gloves.


Finding the Real Fit with Nitrile Gloves

Getting the right fit for your nitrile gloves helps avoid cross contamination and chemical exposures. If the nitrile gloves are too loose and wrinkly at the fingers, they can snag on things. This not only causes messes but makes it tough to grab and handle objects properly. On the other hand, if gloves are too tight, they can easily tear.

Ideally, you want gloves that fit snugly—especially around the fingertips—without making you feel squeezed in. The goal is to wear them comfortably, like a second skin, so you can move your hands freely. Always make sure your fingers are fully extended in the gloves and the tips are smooth over your fingers. And don’t forget to dry your hands before putting them on.

Glove Sizes - How to Measure your Hand

Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your dominant hand, just below the knuckle and excluding your thumb

We offer a wide range of sizes, from XS all the way up to XXL.

  • 5.5-6 inches (14-15.2 cm) = X-Small
  • 6.5-7 inches (16.5-17.8 cm) = Small
  • 7.5-8 inches (19.1-20.3 cm) = Medium
  • 8.5-9 inches (21.6-22.9 cm) = Large
  • 9.5-10 inches (24.1-25.4 cm) = X-Large
  • 10.5-11 inches (26.7-27.9 cm) = 2X-Large

Cuff Length

Cuff length is measured from the tip of the middle finger to the cuff’s end.

  • Standard Cuff is 9-9.5” (22.9-24.1 cm). Long cuff is 11-12” (27.9-30.5 cm).

Blue Nitrile Gloves

We’ve got you covered with sizes ranging from XS to XXL in our popular blue nitrile gloves, perfect for lab work.


Black Nitrile Fentanyl-Resistant Gloves

Looking for something sturdy? Our black nitrile gloves in sizes L to XXL are favored by law enforcement and prison staff. Check out our selection and find your just-right fit!


Are there biodegradable Nitrile Gloves?

Yes, advancements in materials science have led to the development of biodegradable nitrile gloves. These gloves are designed to break down more quickly in landfills compared to traditional nitrile gloves, offering a more eco-friendly option for environmentally conscious organizations.


What are surfactants on Nitrile Gloves?

Surfactants are added to nitrile gloves during manufacturing to make them easier to put on and take off, particularly the powder-free types. These surfactants decrease surface tension, letting your hands slip into the gloves more easily and enhancing your overall experience.

However, it's important to note that surfactants can react with 70% ethanol, forming a white, foamy substance. To prevent any contamination in your processes, look for nitrile gloves that don't contain surfactants.


Can Nitrile Gloves cause skin irritation?

While nitrile gloves are generally safe and hypoallergenic, some individuals might experience skin irritation due to sensitivities to chemicals used in the manufacturing process or from wearing gloves for extended periods.

Other latex-free glove alternatives are neoprene gloves and vinyl gloves.


Nitrile gloves compared to other glove materials

Nitrile vs. Latex Gloves

Nitrile gloves are synthetic and free from natural latex, making them a great choice for those with latex allergies. They're especially resistant to oils, solvents, and various chemicals, which suits them well for roles in the automotive, painting, and cleaning industries where such exposures are common. Additionally, nitrile offers superior puncture resistance compared to latex, providing enhanced protection against sharp objects and tools.

Nitrile vs. Vinyl Gloves

Vinyl has limited chemical resistance, making nitrile gloves a preferred choice in environments where more robust protection against chemicals is required.

Nitrile gloves generally offer a better fit and feel more comfortable for extended use, providing greater dexterity than vinyl gloves.

Nitrile vs. Neoprene Gloves

Nitrile gloves tend to be more cost-effective compared to neoprene, which can be more expensive due to its specialized material properties.

Overall, nitrile gloves offer a balance of protection, comfort, and cost, making them a highly versatile choice for diverse industry needs. Their ability to provide high-level protection in varied environments, from hospitals to factories, explains their growing popularity and widespread adoption.
