With an increased number of people having
allergies to latex, whether it be a dermatitis
allergy--so they're getting a rash on their
hands--or if is because of static-control
concerns, we are seeing an awful lot of people
move over to Nitrile gloves.
Static control concerns, you ask what I'm
referring to there.
Well, Nitrile, all Nitrile, is inherently
antistatic.
We see a lot of our competitors' websites,
a lot of the other suppliers we work with--"ESD-safe"
and all these other things.
Some of the boxes that we actually buy actually
have "ESD-safe" printed right on them.
Nitrile by its properties is safe for Class-2
static-sensitive devices.
The Nitrile BQF09 Glove from QRP is super
stretch.
We very often see latex gloves being very,
very stretchy.
The QRP Nitrile Glove is very stretchable.
At 5 mils thick it is puncture- and tear-resistant.
And it has this micro-texture along the fingertips
and the palm for added grip and dexterity.
One thing we also hear a number of our clients
tell us--and perhaps as a Nitrile-glove purchaser
and user, you can tell us--a lot of them have
a very unusual odor to them; whereas, QRPs
and the QRP Nitrile gloves are pretty much
odorless, which is an interest point for us
to hear from feedback from our clients.
Those of you working in electronics where
silicone is a big "No No!" it might be worth
noting that the QRP gloves have no plasticizers
or silicones in the glove.
And again, they are completely powder-free,
as well.
In closing we figured we'd do a real puncture-resistance
test, stretch test.
So let's...yea, I'd say that's a pretty good
glove!
