Nitrile gloves is a synthetic rubber material that offers chemical and abrasion resistance and is a very good general-duty material for gloves.

Thin, disposable, nitrile gloves are the most common gloves used when handling chemicals in laboratories; however, it is important to remember that thin nitrile rubber provides only limited chemical protection.

These gloves are intended to be used only as a physical barrier against brief contact with chemicals, and they need to be removed and discarded immediately after they become contaminated.
