ANSELL N964 N96 Nitrile Disposable Gloves 3.9 mil Palm personal protective equipment

Green Nitrile Exam Gloves

These Ansell N964 N96 disposable gloves are made from nitrile and carry a medical exam classification with FDA 510K clearance. They meet US Government 21 CFR 170-199 standards and feature an Acceptable Quality Level of 1.5. The green, powder-free design includes a beaded cuff and a moisturising liner for extended wear. They are latex-free and silicone-free, supplied non-sterile for general-purpose and clinical tasks.

Palm Thickness and AQL Limits

The palm thickness measures 3.9 mil, sitting within the 3.00 to 3.99 mil range, while finger thickness reaches 4.3 mil and the cuff is 2.8 mil. The AQL of 1.5 defines the maximum defect rate for pinholes under standard water-leak testing. At 9 1/2 inches long, the glove covers the wrist but does not extend to the forearm. Nitrile provides chemical resistance that varies by substance, so users must verify compatibility with specific solvents or oils before relying on the barrier.

Upgrade from Latex or Vinyl Alternatives

These gloves replace latex exam gloves for wearers with Type I latex allergy or sensitivity, removing the protein trigger entirely. They also step up from standard vinyl gloves where better puncture resistance and tactile sensitivity are required. The jump is worth it when a powder-free, medical-grade nitrile glove with a moisturising liner is needed for frequent changes during examination, laboratory or light industrial work.
