Product Identity
Ansell N481 N48 disposable nitrile gloves deliver 5.1 mil palm thickness and 7.9 mil finger thickness for general-purpose and medical exam use. The orange, powder-free, latex-free construction includes a beaded cuff and anti-static properties. They meet AQL 1.5, FDA 510K, NFPA 1999 and US 21 CFR 170-199 standards.
Practical Limits
The gloves are single-use only and must be discarded after each task or contamination event. They provide splash resistance but are not rated for prolonged chemical immersion or heavy mechanical abrasion. Anti-static performance applies to the glove surface and does not replace dedicated ESD grounding systems. Silicone-free formulation avoids residue in paint or electronics assembly.
Deciding Specification
Palm thickness of 5.1 mil determines whether the glove balances tactile sensitivity with barrier durability for your application. Thinner gloves increase dexterity but reduce puncture resistance; thicker gloves extend wear time but limit fine motor control. Buyers who need heavier chemical protection or reusable gloves cannot use this product.
