Shield GD21 Blue Powder-Free Nitrile Disposable Gloves
The Shield GD21 Blue Powder-Free Nitrile Disposable Gloves are high quality disposable gloves designed to provide tough and reliable hand protection without compromising dexterity or user comfort. Manufactured from nitrile, these gloves are completely latex free, which makes them suitable for users with latex allergy and those with hypersensitive skin.
Durable Protection
The GD21 Nitrile Disposable Gloves are manufactured from nitrile butadiene, which gives them great tear resistant, and this strength is further reinforced by a beaded cuff. As a result, the GD21 Gloves are more durable than similar disposable latex and vinyl gloves.
Designed for Comfort
Along with excellent durability, nitrile butadiene gives the GD21 Gloves a flexible nature. This improves their feel and provides a close fit, effectively reducing hand fatigue during long periods of wear.
Textured For Improved Grip
The Shield GD21 Gloves have a textured outer surface for improved grip. This makes them ideal for applications where the user needs to keep a secure grip on tools, implements or utensils.
