Nitrile Gloves Are Latex Free, but the Majority Contain Accelerator Chemicals

Nitrile disposable gloves can carry a very low allergy rate of less than 1% of users. Studies have shown that the chemical accelerators and other additives commonly used in the products of nitrile, can cause allergies. To reduce the cost of glove manufacturing, more and cheaper additives and chemical fillers are added to the raw material, in turn causing allergies and skin irritation. But some gloves are now being manufactured with a new formulation such as Eagle Protect Sensitive and Derma2 gloves which directly addresses these skin issues. These gloves, made with LOW-DERMA ™ technology, are made with a different ‘recipe’ and without the use of accelerators for better allergy care and hand protection.So when you ask, ‘Are nitrile gloves latex free?’, the answer is ‘yes,’ but when asked, ‘Do nitrile disposable gloves contain accelerator chemicals?’ the answer is a little more complicated.

What is Nitrile?

Nitrile is the superior material for today’s disposable gloves. Nitrile, also known as nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), is a form of synthetic rubber with an unusually high resistance to oil, fuel and other chemicals. The more nitrile within the polymer, the greater the protection from oils, but the lower the flexibility.Historically, nitrile disposable gloves have not had the level of “stretch” that is associated with latex gloves. Recently, advances in the formulation of nitrile, such as in Eagle Protect nitrile gloves, has closed the gap between nitrile and latex to a minimal difference. Also, improved manufacturing techniques have lead to highly tactile, tough and flexible nitrile gloves with negligible allergy rates. Here’s a blog to read a comparison of different glove materials.
