General purpose disposable gloves are used for common tasks such as inspection, cleaning, handling parts, and general maintenance tasks. They keep hands clean when performing maintenance or cleaning tasks. They are also worn to protect finished parts and materials during inspection tasks. Sometimes called general industry gloves, they are used once and thrown away to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Nitrile gloves provide high resistance to puncture, tearing, and abrasion, and good chemical-resistance. They provide a good balance of durability and comfort.
