Shop disposable glove cases for manufacturing, assembly and facility purchasing. Compare materials, available sizes, cuff lengths and case quantities, then choose each product for its documented intended use.
Shop Manufacturing Gloves by Thickness and Use
Compare the current product options below by material, thickness, cuff length and case quantity.
- GP Craft 4 mil Black Nitrile Exam Gloves, Case of 1,000 (GP48) - lightweight, high-dexterity option for light assembly, inspection, and parts handling where touch sensitivity matters
- GP Craft 5 mil Black Nitrile Exam Gloves, Case of 1,000 (GP50) - the mid-range workhorse for general assembly, packaging, and routine maintenance tasks
- CARE 12" 7 Mil Black Nitrile Exam Gloves, Case of 500 (CBK12-5) - extended cuff; verify hazard-specific chemical compatibility separately
- Diamond Blue 8 mil Nitrile Exam Gloves, 12" Long Cuff, Case of 500 (IF80) - verify exact thickness and cuff length; chemical suitability requires manufacturer test data
- Diamond 8 mil Black Nitrile Industrial Gloves, Case of 1,000 (IF88) - diamond-textured surface for grip in oily, wet, or greasy industrial conditions
- Diamond 15 mil Heavy Duty Latex Gloves, 12" Long Cuff, Case of 500 (IF150) - thicker latex option; verify intended use and hazard-specific performance
Nitrile vs. Latex: Choosing the Right Material
Compare the exact nitrile and natural-rubber latex product specifications for the tasks your team performs, including fit and any required performance data.
Nitrile is synthetic and avoids natural-rubber latex proteins, although other ingredients may cause reactions. Use the exact SKU’s documentation when evaluating chemical, puncture or cut performance.
Natural-rubber latex products offer a different fit and feel from nitrile. Review product warnings for latex sensitivities and check the exact SKU’s intended use and chemical compatibility where needed.
Choose material using the task assessment and exact product documentation. Concentrated corrosives or reactive solvents may require specialized products outside this disposable-glove collection. Explore: chemical gloves.
Mil Thickness and Cuff Length: The Specs That Actually Matter
Compare thickness and cuff length alongside material formulation, fit and the manufacturer’s stated intended use.
- 4–5 mil: compare thinner options for fit and tactile feel.
- 6–7 mil: compare fit, available sizes and documented intended use.
- 8 mil and above: compare thicker options, stated texture and cuff lengths using the exact SKU’s specifications.
Use the exact chemical and exposure conditions when checking manufacturer compatibility data. Thickness alone does not establish a permitted solvent-contact duration.
Compare the stated cuff length with the coverage required by the task and the rest of the protective equipment. Verify the exact glove’s chemical compatibility separately where relevant.
Chemical Handling: Acids, Bleach, Solvents, and Paint
For chemical handling, start with the substance’s safety data sheet and exact glove manufacturer compatibility data. Confirm the concentration, temperature and contact conditions before comparing fit and sizes.
Bleach and hypochlorite solutions: use the solution’s safety data sheet and exact glove manufacturer data for the concentration and exposure conditions at your site. Explore: janitorial and sanitation gloves.
Muriatic acid: select the exact product from the solution’s safety data sheet and glove manufacturer compatibility data. Confirm the exposure conditions; a thickness or cuff measurement is not a chemical-protection rating.
Sulfuric acid: use the exact concentration, temperature and contact conditions when selecting protection from manufacturer data. Specialized chemical-resistant products may be required and may fall outside this collection. Explore: chemical gloves.
Paint, resins and coatings: consult the actual formulation’s safety data sheet and glove manufacturer compatibility data. Then compare fit and grip for the task.
Laboratory and cleanroom purchases depend on the process, contamination controls and hazards. Confirm required product documentation and cleanliness specifications, then compare sizes and case formats. Explore: laboratories gloves.
Some industrial exposures require specialized reusable chemical-resistant gloves. Select the exact product from manufacturer performance data; check availability separately rather than assuming this disposable collection includes it. Explore: chemical gloves.

FAQ
Are nitrile gloves chemical proof?
No glove is universally chemical proof. Check the exact glove manufacturer’s compatibility data for the actual substance, concentration, temperature and contact duration.
What is the difference between nitrile coated gloves and disposable nitrile gloves?
Nitrile-coated fabric work gloves and single-use disposable nitrile gloves are different product types. This collection offers disposable products; choose the exact intended use and supporting performance data for your task.
What mil thickness do I need for handling muriatic acid or bleach?
Use the chemical safety data sheet and exact glove manufacturer compatibility data for muriatic acid or bleach. Do not substitute a generic mil range for product-specific selection.
When do I need a 12-inch long cuff?
Compare cuff length with the task’s coverage requirements and the rest of the protective equipment. Use manufacturer instructions and the workplace assessment to make that selection.
What is the difference between exam-grade and industrial-grade nitrile gloves?
Examination and industrial products have different intended uses. Match the exact SKU’s documentation to the task; medical examination status does not establish general industrial chemical suitability.
How many gloves come in a case?
Case quantities vary by product. Check the exact listing and selected variant; do not infer the number of gloves from thickness or cuff length.
