Nitrile Gloves

Disposable nitrile gloves are made from high-quality synthetic rubber. They provide a similar texture to latex gloves, which makes them a popular choice for those looking to avoid latex allergies. Nitrile gloves last longer in storage, are comfortable for extended wear, and offer a secure fit.This material is highly resistant to punctures and many chemicals. Research shows that nitrile gloves are up to three times more puncture-resistant than standard latex, making them suitable for laboratory work, medical and healthcare use, cleaning tasks, food handling, and any environment requiring strong protection. They also perform well in wet conditions, so they are less likely to absorb moisture compared to other glove types.Our range includes several colours, such as the classic blue nitrile gloves for healthcare, black gloves for tattooing and beauty work, and pink or purple options for specialist preferences. All gloves offered are powder-free, single use, and designed to meet professional safety standards.You can order easily through our website or call us on 0208 991 4300 for personalised help.
