Applications
Heavy-duty clinical tasks, tattoo and beauty work, automotive and shop-floor jobs, and janitorial cleaning where a thin glove splits or snags. As nitrile gloves for cleaning, they suit restrooms and kitchens with diluted cleaners. For chemotherapy drugs, choose the black 6.0 g glove tested to ASTM D6978.

Frequently asked questions
+How thick are heavy duty nitrile gloves?
There is no single industry definition; heavy-duty disposable nitrile gloves are sold by mil or by weight per glove, so compare spec sheets. This MXGUARD 5.0 g glove lists 0.135 mm (about 5.3 mil) at the finger and 0.09 mm (about 3.5 mil) at the palm, compared with 0.11 mm (about 4.3 mil) at the finger on our 4.0 g exam glove.
+Are heavy duty nitrile gloves resistant to solvents like acetone?
Not for long. Nitrile handles oils, greases and many diluted cleaners well, but ketones such as acetone and some other solvents pass through thin disposable nitrile quickly. Treat any disposable glove as splash protection, change it right after contact, and check the EN 374 test report for the chemicals actually tested.
+Heavy duty vs standard exam gloves: when is a 5.0 g glove worth it?
When gloves tear before the task is done. If staff double-glove or keep replacing torn 4.0 g gloves mid-task, a single 5.0 g glove is often the simpler choice. For short, clean tasks with frequent changes, the 3.5 g or 4.0 g glove is enough.
+Is the 5.0 g glove still a medical glove?
Yes. Like the 3.5 g and 4.0 g gloves, it lists EN 455, the European standard for single-use medical gloves, and is made to AQL 1.5, so clinics can use it where a stronger exam glove is needed.
