Gloves are common personal protective equipment in our daily life. There are many types of common gloves, such as latex gloves, nitrile gloves, and neoprene gloves. In practical applications, many people cannot correctly distinguish between latex gloves and nitrile gloves. Here are some simple methods to help you quickly distinguish between the two types of gloves.
1. The difference in color
Latex gloves are usually light yellow or pink in color, while nitrile gloves are usually dark blue, black or gray in color. Of course, there are also a few nitrile gloves that are also light yellow in color. Therefore, when choosing gloves, a simple distinction can be made according to the color.
2. The difference in touch
Latex gloves are relatively thick and have high elasticity and softness, so they feel comfortable and soft to the touch after wearing them. Nitrile gloves are slightly thinner than latex gloves, but they also have good elasticity and softness, and feel smoother. Therefore, there is also a difference between the two gloves in terms of touch.
3. Differences in transparency
The transparency of latex gloves is relatively high, and the condition of the hand inside the glove can be seen at a glance. However, the transparency of nitrile gloves is relatively low, and the contours of the hand parts are not very clear. At the same time, the surface of nitrile gloves is relatively smooth, while latex gloves are slightly rougher.
4. Differences in chemical properties
Latex gloves are made of natural latex, which has good permeability, air permeability and water resistance. However, latex gloves are not corrosion-resistant and cannot be in contact with acids, alkalis and oily substances. Nitrile gloves, on the other hand, are made of nitrile rubber material that will not rot or oxidize due to contact with acids, alkalis, and oil-based chemicals.
Therefore, during use, appropriate gloves should be selected according to the nature of the substance being handled. In short, latex gloves can be distinguished from nitrile gloves in terms of color, touch, transparency and chemical properties. For ordinary people, it is easier to distinguish from color and touch. But for some professionals, the more rigorous distinction should be chemical properties. Therefore, when choosing gloves, it is necessary to choose the appropriate glove material and specifications according to actual needs, so as to achieve better personal protection effect.

Types and maintenance of gloves
There are many kinds of protection for industrial gloves. In addition to chemical resistance, they also have the functions of cutting resistance, electrical insulation, waterproof, cold protection, heat radiation protection, fire resistance and flame retardant. General acid and alkali resistance gloves are not equivalent to chemical resistance gloves. , Since many chemicals have different penetration capabilities relative to the glove material, protective gloves with anti-penetration of various chemicals should be selected when necessary. Protective gloves are upper limb protective equipment that defend against physical, chemical and biological external factors from the fingers to the wrist of the operator. Labor protection gloves During operation, hands are the most vulnerable parts of the body. High-temperature gloves protect hands from radiant heat and flame burns, and are made of materials such as aluminized fabrics, leather, fiberglass, and flame-retardant fabrics.
The functions of protective gloves are: 1. Prevent fire, high temperature and low temperature damage. 2. Prevent damage from electromagnetic and ionizing radiation. Prevent electrical and chemical substances from harming. 3. Prevent impact, cutting, abrasion, microbial invasion and infection. 4. Protective gloves include cut-resistant gloves, labor protection leather gloves, acid and alkali resistant gloves, etc., which are widely used in industrial and agricultural production in our country.
Standard requirements for protective gloves
Protective gloves are widely used in my country's industrial and agricultural production, but the standards used in the production of protective gloves are mostly enterprise standards and industry standards, and there are relatively few national standards. The rapid development of economic construction has accelerated the rapid development of my country's protective gloves industry.
What are the precautions for purchasing protective gloves?
What are the precautions for purchasing protective gloves: 1. Choose suitable size protective gloves. The size of the gloves should be suitable. Gloves that are too tight will restrict blood flow, cause fatigue, and be uncomfortable; gloves that are too loose will be inflexible and easy to fall off.
