Understanding Glove Coatings: Nitrile, Latex and Polyurethane

Glove coatings are selected for different handling needs. The right choice depends on the workpiece, working surface, moisture, oil exposure and required dexterity.

Compare by the task

• Nitrile: often selected for a dependable grip in many general handling tasks.
• Latex: commonly chosen where a natural textured grip is preferred.
• Polyurethane: often considered for precise assembly and lightweight handling.

Always test the glove in your intended application and review suitability for the actual working environment.
