Features

• Its resilience makes Nitrile a useful material for disposable lab, cleaning, and examination gloves.
• Nitrile rubber is more resistant than natural rubber to oils and acids, and has superior strength, but has inferior flexibility.
• Nitrile is, therefore, more puncture-resistant than natural rubbers.
