What is the difference between latex gloves and nitrile gloves

In terms of material, latex gloves are made of natural or synthetic latex, while nitrile gloves are made of nitrile rubber, which does not contain latex protein.

In terms of performance, latex gloves have good elasticity, comfortable wearing, and good barrier to bacteria and viruses, but some people may be allergic; Nitrile gloves pose no allergy risk and have outstanding chemical resistance, wear resistance, and puncture resistance, making them suitable for scenarios involving contact with chemicals and sharp objects.

In the application field, latex gloves are mostly used in medical, beauty and other industries; Nitrile gloves are more popular in industries such as electronics and food processing.
