Substitute disposable latex gloves and disposable PVC gloves have certain influence on the development of disposable nitrile gloves.

Disposable latex gloves are usually more comfortable for the wearer and have a wide range of protective properties. They can be used commercially to protect workers and processors from chemicals and oils, and are extremely resistant to puncture. They can also be used for medical purposes. In addition, they are very cost-effective.
Disposable PVC gloves may feel a little stiff, but they are thick polymers to prevent sharp objects from passing through during work. High-quality PVC gloves can be used permanently, so there is no need to worry about adding plastic pollution in marine and landfill sites. All these competitive advantages of alternative products threaten the growth of disposable nitrile gloves market.

Continuous Innovation of Disposable nitrile gloves

With the development of national economy, many countries continuously improve their international competitiveness by strengthening technological innovation and improving the professional degree of medical protection equipment manufacturing. Innovations in manufacturing process and technology, such as easy wearing with humectant, antibacterial technology and manufacturing textured gloves to help grasp gloves, can improve efficiency and reduce production cost, which may be the future opportunity and trend of disposable nitrile gloves market.

In this process, these are treated with a chlorine solution, then rinsed with water, and further dried to eliminate most of the powdered residue, dirt, and proteins. The process makes these gloves stronger compared to powdered variant.

Powdered Disposable Nitrile Gloves

Powdered Disposable Nitrile Gloves usually apply a layer of powder on the surface of the gloves. The powder is usually made from cornstarch, which helps in easy donning, improving grip, and reducing moisture and sweat inside of the glove. However, when worn for a long duration, the product may lead to sensitivities or allergies.
