Nitrile is a co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. The process to make it is fairly simple, and very similar to that of rubber production. However, it is one-hundred percent synthetic, and as such, is stronger, does not cause allergic reaction and therefore has a wider range of applications. It is the synthetic version of latex, and while it lacks the inherent stretch and grip of natural rubber, it is nonetheless prized for its incomparable strength.

 

Main Characteristics: Nitrile rubber does not contain any latex proteins. It offers excellent resistance to punctures and tears, being three times more puncture resistant than rubber when used in gloves.With regard to chemical resistance, the principle difference between latex and nitrile is that nitrile stands up well to oil, making it a good choice for metal stamping or handling small oily parts. Additionally, nitrile can be foamed when used as a palm coating, so that when in contact with smooth, oily surfaces, the foamed nitrile behaves like a sponge. Oil on the surface is soaked up, displacing it and improving grip considerably.
