Nitrile gloves: powder-free & skin-friendly
With latex gloves, allergy sufferers may experience intolerances caused by the latex proteins. However, nitrile gloves are latex-free and have very good skin compatibility. Nitrile is a man-made rubber produced with the help of chemical processes. The majority of nitrile gloves in our product range are powder-free, which means they are approved for use in most areas.
Nitrile gloves have the following advantages:
- Very elastic - High wearing comfort
- Good tear and puncture resistance
- Resistant to oils and many chemicals
- Breathable

They combine protection, comfort and durability to keep your hands safe and clean.

Application range of nitrile gloves
Since nitrile gloves are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, they are often used as work protection when handling chemical substances. They are therefore perfectly suited for use in industry. Likewise, they are approved for use in the food sector, which is why they are often used in the catering or food industry to prevent contamination when coming into contact with food. Nitrile gloves are food safe, allow hygienic food handling and prevent contamination with germs through the hands.
Nitrile gloves provide a protective layer against the skin, which is why they are also used in the medical field. Sterile disposable gloves are used for invasive procedures and are prescribed for this purpose. In contrast, non-sterile disposable gloves are used in nursing or as examination gloves.
Possible areas of use in workplaces can be:
- gastronomy
- laboratory
- nursing
- hospitals
- food production
- tattoo studio
- cosmetic studios
In times of increased bacterial exposure, it may also be appropriate to wear the disposable gloves as an additional, reliable protection against infection. Nitrile gloves are particularly suitable for frequent contact with people, e.g. in the catering or hotel industry, to ensure safety and still provide the necessary sensitivity with high elasticity.
What is nitrile?
Nitrile is a synthetic material made from acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is a robust and flexible alternative to latex, particularly suitable for anyone who is allergic to natural rubber. Nitrile is resistant to chemicals, oils and greases, making it ideal for use in a variety of working environments.

When selecting our manufacturers, we make sure that the products in our online store are produced according to the guidelines. In doing so, we rely on renowned brands that can draw on many years of experience.

Our range of nitrile gloves
The nitrile gloves are usually offered in packs of 100 pieces. To ensure occupational safety and an optimal fit, the right size is crucial. To ensure that the gloves fit perfectly, we offer sizes S, M, L and XL. The sizes differ in length and width and the gloves can be worn on the left as well as on the right hand.
When buying the disposable gloves, you can choose between different colors. In nursing, medicine or laboratory the blue or white gloves are perfect. However, we also offer other colors. Black gloves are very popular with cosmetic studios or tattoo artists.
For ease of use, a wall mount can also be ordered directly from our store. This allows you to easily mount single or multiple dispensers in entryways or at hygiene stations so they are always quickly and easily accessible.
Why are powder-free nitrile gloves usually used?
The powder used in disposable gloves consists of a large proportion of proteins, which can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some users. For this reason, today only powder-free nitrile gloves are offered in most cases - also suitable for allergy sufferers. The powder was originally used to make the gloves easier to put on and take off. However, modern nitrile gloves now have a coating that achieves the same effect.
Durability of nitrile gloves
As a rule, a shelf life of 5 years from the date of production is assumed. The expiration date should be written on each package. Especially for use in the medical field or when working with hazardous chemicals, it is important not to use the gloves after the expiration date has passed. The material can become porous and thus the tightness can no longer be guaranteed. This is especially crucial for preventing contamination. Porosity also severely compromises flexibility and tear resistance.
Other disposable gloves as an alternative
If you are looking for an alternative to nitrile gloves, you will find a range of high-quality and inexpensive latex gloves or vinyl gloves in our online store. It is worthwhile to compare the properties and prices of the various products to determine the right disposable glove for your application and use.
