ProWorks® Powder-Free Disposable Nitrile Exam Gloves — Medium / 6 mil / Black / 100ct

ProWorks® Powder-Free Disposable Nitrile Exam Gloves — Medium / 6 mil / Black

ProWorks® Powder-Free Disposable Nitrile Exam Gloves deliver examination-grade hand protection engineered for demanding environments where puncture resistance, chemical barrier performance, and tactile sensitivity all matter. At 6 mil thickness, these black nitrile gloves exceed the durability of standard 4-5 mil disposable gloves while maintaining the dexterity needed for detailed work — whether trimming, pest and disease scouting, pesticide application, or post-harvest processing.

Powder-free and latex-free construction eliminates the dual risks of powder contamination of plant material and latex-induced allergic reactions — critical in food-contact and health-sensitive growing environments. ASTM D6978 testing for resistance to permeation by fentanyl citrate certifies these gloves for specialized chemical handling applications. Ambidextrous design simplifies inventory and glove rotation for multi-person teams. Each box contains 100 gloves.

Key Features & Benefits

• 6 mil Nitrile Thickness — Greater puncture and tear resistance than standard disposable nitrile gloves, extending per-glove durability in active hands-on growing tasks.
• Powder-Free & Latex-Free — Eliminates powder contamination of plant material and nutrient solutions, and removes latex allergy risk for all crew members.
• ASTM D6978 Fentanyl Citrate Permeation Tested — Independently verified chemical barrier performance for specialized handling applications.
• Examination-Grade Nitrile — Meets the material quality standards of medical examination gloves for reliable protection in sensitive environments.
• Ambidextrous Design — Single SKU works for both hands, simplifying glove management for multi-person crews.
• 100-Count Box — Efficient bulk packaging for ongoing PPE supply management in active growing operations.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse and indoor growing facility staff handling pesticides, fungicides, nutrient concentrates, and pH adjustment chemicals require chemical-resistant hand protection as part of their standard PPE program. Post-harvest trimmers, quality control inspectors, and sanitation crew members benefit from the 6 mil black nitrile construction, which conceals minor soiling to maintain a professional appearance while providing reliable glove integrity throughout extended work sessions.

Compatibility

Available in Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large to fit diverse crew sizes. Black color minimizes visible resin and staining during post-harvest work. Compatible with standard ANSI/ISEA PPE programs. Pair with ProWorks® Microporous Coveralls for full-body barrier protection during pesticide applications and sanitation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these gloves suitable for pesticide application?

Nitrile gloves at 6 mil thickness provide a meaningful chemical barrier against many dilute pesticide formulations. Always consult the pesticide label's PPE requirements — some concentrated formulations require specific chemical-resistant glove ratings beyond standard nitrile exam gloves.

Are 6 mil nitrile gloves thicker than standard exam gloves?

Yes — standard disposable nitrile exam gloves are typically 4-5 mil. At 6 mil, ProWorks® gloves offer enhanced puncture resistance and durability for more demanding tasks.

Are these gloves food safe?

Powder-free, latex-free nitrile gloves are widely used in food handling environments. Verify compliance with your facility's food safety certifications and applicable regulatory requirements before use in licensed post-harvest processing.

Can these gloves be worn for extended periods?

Exam-grade nitrile gloves are designed for extended single-session use. Change gloves when they become contaminated, torn, or at the end of a task — do not wash and reuse disposable gloves.
