5 Mil Nitrile Gloves Your Ultimate Defense Against Costly Workplace Tears (Lab-Tested Proof)

When an Atlanta factory manager discovered $12,000 in chemical damage from torn gloves last quarter, one finding shocked inspectors: Standard 4mil nitrile gloves tore 11x more often than thicker alternatives. The verdict? Not all thickness claims deliver real protection.

Decoding the “5 Mil” Standard: What Procurement Officers Must Verify

True 5-mil durability requires validation beyond marketing claims:
