1. Differences in raw materials.
Latex gloves are also called rubber gloves. Latex is a pure natural material, derived from the sap of the rubber tree. Pure natural latex is a microbial product, and its composition and structure are often very different because of different standards such as green plants, geological environment, and climate. In fresh latex without all chemicals added, rubber hydrocarbons only account for 20%-40% of total production, and the other sales are non-rubber components and water. Non-rubber components include proteins, lipids, glycogen, and inorganic compounds, some of which form complex structures with rubber particles, and others that melt in whey protein or produce non-rubber particles. Nitrile rubber is a rubber made from acrylonitrile and butadiene and is an important raw material for organic chemistry and medical intermediates.
2. Classification differences.
The specifications of latex gloves are divided into powder universal type and powder-free purification type, with glossy surface and hemp surface non-slip. The specifications of nitrile gloves are divided into the anti-slip surface of the palm pockmarked surface and the anti-slip surface of the hand-tip pockmarked surface.
3. Hypoallergenic
Latex gloves contain protein, which can easily cause allergic symptoms for people with allergies. Nitrile gloves are free of proteins, hydroxyl chemicals and harmful substances and rarely cause skin irritation.
4. Biodegradation.
Both latex gloves and nitrile gloves can be dissolved, which is very easy to solve and is conducive to environmental protection.
5. Puncture resistance.
Compared with nitrile gloves, latex gloves are ductile and abrasion resistant. Nitrile gloves are three to five times more puncture resistant than latex. For dentists who must use sharp, specialized tools, using durable nitrile gloves can create a safer natural barrier when coming into contact with patients.
6. Scalability
Latex gloves are soft and wear-resistant, and their ductility is better than nitrile gloves.
7. Caters to the shape of the hand.
Because nitrile gloves have a single butadiene, they can be turned into a convenient rubber that allows the wearer to experience the best tactile sensitivity. In addition, catering to the shape of the hand due to its excellent heat transfer gives excellent coordination, which is especially critical for medical professionals or those who actually handle small parts or special tools.
