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.

8 Reasons to Choose the Profence Nitrile Gloves

Biodegradability: Crafted with enzymatic biodegradable technology, these gloves are environmentally responsible, breaking down 90% in just 490 days in landfill environments. This contrasts starkly with standard nitrile gloves that may take over a century to decompose.
Medical Grade Quality: With a 1.5 AQL rating, these gloves meet high medical standards, ensuring safety and reliability for both medical and food handling uses.
Enhanced Usability: Designed to be ambidextrous, they are suitable for all users. The beaded cuff aids in easy donning and prevents roll-down, while the textured fingers provide a steady, reliable grip.
Durable and Safe: Manufactured to remain stable and effective, their physical properties stay consistent for up to three years, as supported by shelf-life study results.
Advanced BDG Technology: The incorporation of a polymerised organic additive, acting as a microbial food source, enables accelerated biodegradation in active landfills. This BDG technology seamlessly integrates into the manufacturing process without compromising glove quality.
FDA Approved: With an FDA (510k) approval since August 2018, these gloves have been rigorously tested and proven safe for various applications.
Proven Efficacy: Based on ASTM D5526 testing, these gloves demonstrate faster and more efficient biodegradation, simulating real landfill conditions.
Eco-Friendly Choice: By choosing BDG technology, you're not only opting for high-quality protective gloves but also contributing to environmental sustainability and green initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

These gloves are made using a unique enzymatic biodegradable technology. This involves a polymerised 'food source' as an organic additive in the manufacturing process. This additive accelerates the biodegradation of gloves in active landfills and anaerobic digesters.

Yes, they are safe for medical use. These gloves are medical grade with a 1.5 AQL rating, making them suitable for various medical applications.

Absolutely. The gloves are designed to be safe for food handling, meeting the necessary safety standards.

In ASTM testing, these gloves showed a biodegradation rate of 90% in 490 days, a significant improvement over regular nitrile gloves, which can take over 100 years to degrade.

No, the biodegradation process only begins when the gloves are exposed to microbes present in an active landfill environment. They remain stable and retain their physical properties for up to 3 years on the shelf.

These gloves are ambidextrous, latex-free, and powder-free. They feature a beaded cuff to assist with easy donning and prevent roll-down, along with textured fingers for a reliable grip.

Yes, they are designed with the environment in mind. The biodegradable technology ensures they break down quickly in landfill environments, making them a more sustainable option compared to standard nitrile gloves.

BDG (Biodegradable Disposable Glove) technology uses a polymerised 'food source' to attract microbes in landfill sites. These microbes consume the BDG material and release enzymes that break down the polymer chains, allowing for natural degradation.

Yes, BDG technology has been FDA (510k) approved since August 2018, ensuring that the gloves meet rigorous safety and quality standards.

By choosing BDG technology, you're opting for a responsible glove disposal solution and taking a step towards enhancing environmental and green efforts, contributing to a more sustainable future.
