Benefits of Nitrile Disposable Gloves in Food Handling

Clean hands are imperative in any food handling situation, helping to reduce contaminants and the spread of food-borne hazards. While washing your hands provides protection against food contamination, the added layer of disposable gloves help to increase cleanliness. Nitrile gloves are one of the safest materials for food handling, and when used properly, can enhance food safety in your facility.

Quality Material
Nitrile gloves are an ideal choice for food contact, providing protection against animal fats, oil-based solvents, petroleum and caustics, and even maintain better chemical resistance than latex and vinyl. Nitrile is an extremely durable material with strong puncture resistance – 3-5x more than latex – reducing the chance of breakage and contamination hazards during use. These gloves are traditionally available in bright colors, most often a bright blue for increased safety. This heavy color pigmentation assists with color-coding compliance, and makes it easier to detect a potential contamination situation in food processing.

Comfortable
Nitrile gloves conform to the shape of the hand, providing a snug, comfortable and lightweight fit for both short- and long-term use. Lower resistance to friction makes nitrile easier to don and doff, encouraging more frequent re-application when switching between food products and other potential cross-contamination situations, or after extended wear of a single-use glove. Premium Nitrile Gloves, such as our 650 Series Gloves, feature a fingertip texture to improve grip without sacrificing dexterity, helping the wearer to maintain productivity during use.
