Disposable gloves are essential for protecting people, products, and food in professional, medical, and residential environments all over the planet. Doctors and nurses, mechanics, janitors, scientists, bakers, and tattoo artists all depend on disposable gloves to do their jobs properly—of course, not every type of glove is right for every type of work.
Next to the kind of material a disposable glove is made from, thickness might be the most important factor in defining a glove’s capabilities. Glove America manufactures and sells our line of SureCare gloves in a variety of thickness levels, including 12+ mil. Explore our extra heavy-duty disposable gloves for sale and the situations they work best for.
12 mil and up gloves are some of the thickest disposable gloves available. They offer a high level of resistance to punctures and abrasions, making them great for construction or repair jobs that might expose the hands to tough surfaces or sharp objects. They’re also highly resistant to biohazards and chemicals that can harm the skin. If you work in a medical environment or a science lab, or you work with industrial-strength cleaning fluids, 12+ mil disposable gloves will keep your hands safe.
If these extra heavy-duty gloves have one drawback, it’s that the thick material restricts movement more than lighter gloves. You probably don’t want 12+ mil disposable gloves if you’re doing work that requires a lot of precision or you need to make quick, dexterous finger movements.
Now that you’ve decided to go with extra heavy-duty gloves, you need to figure out which glove material is best for your situation. Here are some differences between latex and nitrile 12+ mil gloves and what they are ideal for.
Latex is a very popular option when it comes to thicker gloves because of its elasticity and how it easily conforms to the contour of the hand. Latex is also favored in 12+mil options of gloves because it has a much higher abrasion rating than a typical nitrile glove at the same mil rating. Surecare 13mil Extended Cuff Blue Latex are Medical Examination grade gloves used in frequently in Fire Departments and EMS.
If latex gloves aren’t right for you, using 12+ mil nitrile gloves could be the way to go. Nitrile gloves are made with a synthetic rubber material and are better at shielding the skin from chemicals. The super heavy-duty nitrile gloves for sale from Glove America are Flock lined and un-flock lined. The flock lining is an additional barrier between the wearers skin and the glove.
