What Are Nitrile Gloves?

Nitrile gloves are disposable gloves made from synthetic rubber. They do not contain natural latex, so they are safe for people with latex allergies. These gloves are strong and resist punctures better than many other disposable gloves. They also handle oils, chemicals, and cleaning products well. Nitrile gloves fit snugly and allow good hand control for detailed work. Healthcare workers, food handlers, mechanics, cleaners, and aged care staff use nitrile gloves every day.

Nitrile vs Latex: What’s the Difference?

Nitrile and latex gloves both protect your hands, but they differ in important ways. Nitrile is latex-free, making it safer for people with allergies. It is also more resistant to punctures and chemicals. Latex gloves feel softer and offer excellent flexibility and touch sensitivity.

Latex is often cheaper, but allergy concerns have reduced its use in many workplaces. Nitrile is now the preferred choice in healthcare, food service, and industrial settings across Australia. See our full nitrile vs latex gloves comparison.

What Thickness Should You Choose?

• 3 mil: Light duty. Good for food prep, light cleaning, and short tasks.
• 5 mil: General purpose. Strong enough for healthcare, aged care, and most workplace tasks.
• 6+ mil: Heavy-duty. Best for mechanics, industrial work, and handling harsh chemicals.

Choosing the right thickness helps you balance comfort and protection.

Are Nitrile Gloves Food-Grade or Medical-Grade?

Many nitrile gloves are food safe and suitable for food handling in Australia. Always check that they meet food safety standards.

Medical-grade nitrile gloves must meet strict testing rules for strength and safety. Some products may also require TGA approval for medical use.

Industrial-grade gloves are strong but may not meet medical testing standards. Always confirm compliance before purchasing.
