Product Information

Full details

The Shield GD21 Blue Nitrile Disposable Gloves are designed for professionals and home users who require reliable hand protection without the risk of latex-related allergies. Engineered with a specialized nitrile butadiene polymer, these gloves provide an ergonomic fit that minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged tasks, making them ideal for healthcare, food handling, or mechanical work. While they offer robust protection against bacteria, fungi, and specific chemicals, users should note that they are intended for single-use applications and may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial exposure to aggressive solvents.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for someone with a latex allergy?

Yes, they are 100% latex-free and made from nitrile, making them a safe alternative for those with latex sensitivities.

Can I use these gloves for food preparation?

Yes, they are tested for food contact in compliance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011.

How do I determine if XL is the correct size for me?

XL is generally intended for larger hands; if the glove feels loose or slips easily, it may compromise your grip and dexterity.

Are these gloves resistant to all chemicals?

They offer Type C chemical resistance, which covers specific low-level chemical risks. Consult the safety data sheet for specific chemical compatibility.

Are these gloves powder-free?

Yes, the Shield GD21 gloves are powder-free, which helps minimize skin irritation and contamination risks.

Can I reuse these gloves if I wash them?

No, these are disposable, single-use gloves and their integrity cannot be guaranteed after washing or reuse.

Troubleshooting

Gloves tearing during application

Ensure hands are completely dry before putting them on and avoid pulling excessively on the cuff.

Reduced grip efficiency

If the surface becomes coated with excessive oils or grease, replace the gloves immediately to restore tactile security.

Skin irritation after use

Ensure hands are washed and dried thoroughly after removing gloves to remove any trace sweat or moisture trapped inside.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent tactile sensitivity and dexterity
  • Latex-free, reducing allergy risks
  • Superior grip due to textured surface
  • Complies with European food contact and PPE safety standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, store these gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as heat can degrade the polymer over time. These gloves are intended for single use; remove them by peeling the cuff downward to avoid contaminating the skin. Dispose of used gloves according to local waste management regulations. They are compatible with a wide range of standard chemical tasks but should not be used as a substitute for heavy-duty puncture-resistant gloves. Always check for visible tears or punctures before putting on each glove.
