Nitrile gloves are durable, inherently anti-static, and extremely puncture-resistant. As they are made from synthetic latex, they can be used by all workers regardless of latex allergies.

Are all nitrile gloves anti-static?

Not all nitrile gloves are anti-static. However, where ESD could lead to physical harm or damage to products and components, nitrile is often the preferred choice. As natural rubber latex is an insulator, it has precisely the opposite properties for those required in ESD applications.

Do nitrile gloves protect against electricity?

Why are nitrile gloves less conductive? Gloves made from natural rubber latex are inherently static insulative, holding on to a charge and releasing it in an uncontrolled manner, leading to damage. However, the surface resistance of nitrile gloves is normally on the border of insulative and static dissipative.
