What is the difference between nitrile gloves and latex gloves, and what are the advantages and disadvantages
Nitrile gloves and latex gloves are widely used in electronic processing, mechanical processing, food processing and other industries. Because they are disposable gloves, many people do not know how to buy gloves when they buy them. Here are the differences between these two gloves. Advantages and disadvantages of nitrile gloves and latex gloves
Nitrile glove material: NBR, nitrile glove is a kind of synthetic rubber, the main components are acrylonitrile and butadiene advantages: no allergy, degradable, can add pigment, the color is bright
Disadvantages: poor elasticity, the price is higher than latex products, the chemical and acid-base resistance effect of NBR material is much better than latex, so it is expensive
Latex glove material: natural latex (NR) advantages: good elasticity and degradability disadvantages: sensitization reaction of some people
(1) Material
Latex gloves are also called rubber gloves. Latex is a natural material, which is derived from the sap of rubber tree. Natural latex is a kind of biosynthetic product. Due to different tree species, geology, climate and other related conditions, its composition and colloidal structure often vary greatly. In the fresh latex without adding any substance, rubber hydrocarbon only accounts for 20% - 40% of the total amount, and the rest is a small amount of non rubber components and water. The non rubber components include protein, lipid, carbohydrate and non organic components. Some of them form a composite structure with rubber particles, and some of them dissolve in whey or form non rubber particles
Nitrile gloves is a common name for nitrile gloves. Nitrile is a kind of rubber, which is the key raw material for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene. In the presence of a special acid or a group of organic compounds. (2) characteristics
Latex gloves: compared with Dingqing gloves, the toughness and wear resistance are slightly inferior, but the elasticity is better. The abrasion resistance, acid-base resistance and grease resistance are slightly worse than those of Dingqing, and the acid and alkali resistance are slightly better than those of Dingqing, but they are not suitable for allergic skin and long-term wear. Dingqing gloves: hard material, poor elasticity, good wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance (some Dingqing gloves can not prevent acetone, strong alcohol), antistatic, and will not produce allergic phenomenon to the skin, suitable for people with constitution allergy and long-term wear.
