Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are purple nitrile gloves safe for chemotherapy drugs?

Yes. These gloves are rated Chemo Grade and have been rigorously tested for high resistance against chemotherapy drugs, making them the standard choice for oncology departments.  

2. How thick are these exam gloves?

They feature a heavy-duty thickness of 5 mil at the fingertips and 3 mil at the palm, providing significantly better protection against punctures and tears than standard exam gloves.

3. What are purple nitrile gloves used for?

Due to their superior chemical and antiviral resistance, they are used in high-risk environments such as emergency rooms, oncology labs, trauma centers, and by tattoo artists requiring reliable barrier protection.  

4. Do these gloves protect against viruses?

Yes. They are engineered with antiviral properties to provide a robust barrier against pathogens and viruses, meeting safety protocols for infectious diseases.  

5. Are these gloves suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. They are 100% latex-free and powder-free, and they have been thoroughly tested for skin irritation and sensitization to ensure comfort during long shifts.

6. What is the difference between purple nitrile gloves and regular nitrile gloves?

Purple nitrile gloves are thicker (5 mil) and rated Chemo Grade under ASTM D6978, meaning they are tested against chemotherapy drugs and hazardous chemicals. Regular nitrile gloves (blue or clear) are typically 3–3.5 mil and suited for general exam use only. The purple color is an industry-recognized visual code for higher-protection gloves in clinical settings.

7. What does "5 mil" mean in nitrile gloves?

"Mil" means one-thousandth of an inch. A 5 mil glove is 0.005 inches thick at the fingertip significantly more durable than standard 3 mil gloves. The extra thickness provides better puncture resistance and chemical barrier protection, making 5 mil the preferred choice for oncology, emergency response, tattoo work, and laboratory environments.

8. Why are nitrile gloves purple instead of blue?

Purple is an industry-standard color code for higher-protection gloves. Blue indicates standard exam-grade (3–4 mil), while purple signals a heavier-duty, chemo-rated glove for hazardous drug handling or high-risk procedures. This color system helps healthcare staff instantly grab the correct glove under time pressure without reading labels.

9. Are these gloves FDA-approved and ASTM D6319 certified?

Yes. These gloves meet ASTM D6319 for medical examination use and are Chemo Grade certified under ASTM D6978, which tests resistance against chemotherapy drug permeation. They pass AQL standards for tensile strength, elongation, and freedom from holes, making them compliant for clinical, laboratory, dental, and oncology environments.

10. Can tattoo artists and piercing professionals use these gloves?

Yes. The 5 mil thickness provides superior puncture and tear resistance during detailed tattoo and piercing work. The fully textured surface ensures a secure grip on equipment when wet with ink or blood. Being 100% latex-free and powder-free eliminates allergic reactions in clients, and the chemo-grade barrier resists tattoo inks, disinfectants, and cleaning agents used in professional studios.
