NewTrile, a line of reusable chemical protection gloves, feature EcoTek Biodegradability Technology which dramatically accelerates glove breakdown in landfills. NewTrile with EcoTek provides businesses new broad-spectrum reusable chemical hand protection while helping them meet their sustainability goals.
Designed for use in hostile chemical environments, NewTrile gloves are available in hand specific, flock-lined, and unlined styles that range from 11 to 15 mil in thickness. All deliver high ANSI 6 abrasion resistance and ANSI 2 puncture protection for long-lasting protection. Each glove features case-hardened exteriors that enhance their performance for tough applications requiring prolonged exposure to chemicals. With double chlorinated surfaces that ensure easy donning and doffing, these gloves are the ideal choice for the most challenging environments. They are also approved for repeated food usage per FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and dermatologically accredited by the Skin Health Alliance.
The proprietary nitrile formulation accelerates the breakdown of gloves in landfills without causing any performance loss. SW nitrile gloves with EcoTek biodegrade by 92.6% in only 2 years and 6 months as tested using the standard method ASTM D5526-12 to determine anaerobic biodegradability of plastics in accelerated landfill conditions.
