Frequently asked questions
+Nitrile gloves vs nitrile exam gloves: what is the difference?
Nitrile exam gloves are nitrile gloves tested for medical examination use, with limits on pinholes, strength and skin safety. General-purpose nitrile gloves may not be tested to medical glove standards. This 4.0 g glove lists EN 455, the European standard for single-use medical gloves, and is made to AQL 1.5.
+Are nitrile exam gloves latex free?
Yes. MXGUARD 4.0 g gloves are made of nitrile and contain no natural rubber latex. They are also powder-free.
+How do you choose the right nitrile glove size?
Measure the palm width across the knuckles, without the thumb. The listed palm widths are XS up to 80 mm, S 80 ± 10 mm, M 95 ± 10 mm, L 110 ± 10 mm and XL 110 mm or more. If you fall between sizes, try both; a glove that is too tight tears sooner and one that is too loose reduces grip.
+How thick is a 4.0 g nitrile exam glove in mil?
The spec lists single-wall thickness of 0.11 mm at the finger (about 4.3 mil), 0.07 mm at the palm (about 2.8 mil) and 0.06 mm at the cuff (about 2.4 mil).
+Are these nitrile exam gloves food safe?
The 4.0 g glove lists EN 1186, the EU food-contact standard. It does not list 21 CFR 177.2600, the US food-contact regulation for rubber articles. For US food service, use the MXGUARD 3.0 g food service glove, which lists both, or ask us to confirm food-contact documents for the 4.0 g glove.
