Shield GD20 Blue Lightly-Powdered Nitrile Disposable Gloves
The Shield GD20 Blue Lightly-Powdered Nitrile Disposable Gloves are high quality disposable gloves designed to provide durable and reliable hand protection without compromising dexterity or user comfort. Manufactured from nitrile butadiene, the GD20 Gloves are more durable than similar disposable latex and vinyl gloves.
Tough Protection
The GD20 Nitrile Disposable Gloves are tough and durable, with a beaded cuff for added strength. They are a dependable alternative to latex gloves for users with a pre-existing latex allergy and individuals with hypersensitive skin.
Designed for Comfort
Along with excellent durability, nitrile butadiene gives the GD20 Gloves a flexible nature. This improves their feel and provides a close fit, effectively reducing hand fatigue during long periods of wear. A light powdering – maximum 10mg/dm² – reduces perspiration to further promote user comfort.
Textured For Improved Grip
The Shield GD20 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.
Blue Colour
Blue in colour, the Shield GD20 Gloves are ideal for environments where colour coding is used to reduce cross-contamination. In addition, their colour makes them easily traceable, which can enhance safety when used in the food industry.
