Proference Biodegradable Nitrile Blue Gloves
Designed with Safety and the Environment in Mind
These gloves are perfect for a range of applications, from medical procedures to food handling. Crafted to meet high medical standards with a 1.5 AQL rating, they are ambidextrous, latex-free, and powder-free, ensuring suitability for various users and scenarios.
What truly sets these gloves apart is their cutting-edge biodegradable technology. Developed with an enzymatic process, these gloves are designed to degrade significantly faster in landfill environments, with an astounding 90% biodegradation in just 490 days, as verified by ASTM D5526 and D5511 tests. This contrasts sharply with traditional nitrile gloves, which may take over a century to decompose.
The biodegradable technology employs a polymerised organic additive, serving as a 'food source' for bacteria in landfills. This additive attracts bacteria which release enzymes to break down the polymer chains, leading to natural degradation without affecting the gloves' quality or shelf life, which remains consistent for up to three years.
By choosing Profence's BDG Disposable Gloves, you're not just selecting a high-quality, safe product for your needs; you're also contributing to a greener, more sustainable planet. These gloves are FDA (510k) approved, ensuring safety and reliability. Embrace the green revolution with BDG technology and make a positive impact with every glove.
