What Is Nitrile?
Nitrile is a type of synthetic rubber, which means that people who suffer from latex allergies are able to wear gloves made from this material. It is estimated that up to 5% of the general population have a latex allergy, which indicates why nitrile has become such a popular option.
The benefits of nitrile go beyond allergies. When compared directly with latex or vinyl gloves, it is far more puncture-resistant, which can prove vital in applications that pose the risk of snagging (it is worth noting that if working with sharp objects or tools, cut-resistant gloves are required). It is also the case that from a financial perspective, nitrile has historically proven to be more stable in price than latex. This is owing to the fact that it is a synthetic material, and therefore not as dependent on natural resources as latex is.
However, this has changed over the course of the past year, with a massive increase in demand for nitrile triggering a significant price rise, particularly for raw materials. There have also been supply chain challenges, largely associated with the knock-on effects of COVID-19, which has raised the cost even further.
