The main difference depends on your "Work Environment":

• PU (Polyurethane) Coated Gloves: Best for "Dry Work." They provide a snug fit, excellent dexterity for handling small parts, and great breathability (e.g., electronic assembly, precision packing).
• Nitrile Coated Gloves: Best for "Wet or Oily Work." They offer superior resistance to oil, grease, and chemicals, and are more durable against punctures and tearing (e.g., automotive repair, petrochemical industries).

They are essential when handling sharp objects directly! Level 5 cut-resistant gloves (based on the classic EN388 standard) are crafted from advanced fibers such as Dyneema or HPPE. They are specifically designed for tasks like handling glass, cutting steel, or working with metal sheets, effectively minimizing the risk of severe cuts and injuries in the workplace.

The main differences are:

• Nitrile Gloves: Made from synthetic rubber. They are puncture-resistant, chemical-resistant, and latex-free, making them safe for people with latex allergies.
• Latex Gloves: Made from natural rubber. They offer better elasticity and comfort for long-term wear but are not suitable for people with latex allergies.

For industrial work involving chemicals or sharp objects, Nitrile is generally the safer and more durable choice.

Choose based on your specific gripping needs:

• Full Palm Coating: Provides excellent grip and slip resistance. Ideal for handling heavy items or large components.
• Fingertip Coating: Focuses on maximum breathability and finger dexterity. Ideal for precision tasks like handling small screws, nuts, or intricate parts.

Green nitrile gloves (especially 18 mil heavy-duty models) offer excellent chemical, acid, and alkali resistance. However, for extremely concentrated acids, we highly recommend checking the specific Chemical Resistance Chart for that model or changing your gloves frequently to ensure maximum operator safety.
