Nitrile Gloves Double-Dipped in NBR



Brass Knuckle's SmartSkin nitrile gloves (BKNITR2) are double-dipped in nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to give wearers extra protection and grip.

"Nitrile stands up to chemicals, oils and most harmful cleaning solvents and resists bodily fluids and waste," said a company spokesperson. "In addition, nitrile has three times the puncture resistance of latex."

SmartSkin starts with a thin gauge, 18 mil nylon shell with a full NBR over coat, and then a second coat of NBR is added to full fingers and palm. This second coat has a sandy finish that is extra grippy, even when wet, and provides extra resistance to abrasions, tears and punctures in critical wear areas.

"SmartSkin gloves are the barrier of choice for workers in the oil and gas sector," said the spokesperson. "These workers need impermeable gloves that protect against skin exposures when working around any oil operations and when transferring process fluids. Durable nitrile is ideal protection for these applications and more."
