Gloves

The Mapa Nitrile Glove is an 11-mil industrial-grade solution designed for growers and processors who require a balance of chemical resistance and tactile precision. Sold in convenient 12-pair packs, these gloves are a staple for maintaining biosecurity and worker safety.

Key Features

• Nitrile Chemical Protection: 11-mil thickness provides a robust barrier against organic solvents and common agricultural chemicals.
• Comes in Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and XXLarge
• Optimal Dexterity: Engineered for "second-skin" feel, allowing for intricate tasks without the bulk of heavy rubber gloves.  
• Superior Resistance: Outperforms natural latex in durability and protection against oils, greases, and solvents.  
• Hypoallergenic: 100% latex-free construction, making them safe for users with latex protein sensitivities.
• Food Safety Compliant: Exceeds 21 CFR Parts 170-199 standards for safe food handling and processing.
• Precision Protection for Field and Facility

Description

These 11-mil Green Nitrile Gloves deliver the ideal balance of protection and dexterity. The specialized nitrile formula protects against a variety of hazards common in the agricultural industry, while the flat-cuff design keeps field debris and liquids out of the glove.
Whether you are in a high-speed processing facility or performing delicate harvests, these gloves provide the durability needed for long shifts. Because they are more puncture-resistant than standard disposable nitrile, they are the professional choice for environments where "snagging" is a constant risk.

VGS Pro Tips

Processing: These are the industry standard for safe food handling in packing houses.
Harvesting: Our growers prefer these for delicate work with berries and sensitive produce to prevent fruit bruising while keeping hands clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 11-mil thickness compare to standard disposable nitrile gloves?
Standard disposable "exam" gloves are typically 3 to 5 mils thick. At 11 mils, the Mapa glove is significantly more durable, offering much higher puncture and tear resistance. This makes them "reusable" for an entire shift or multiple tasks, rather than being a single-use item.
Are these gloves resistant to agricultural pesticides and fertilizers?
Nitrile is highly resistant to a wide range of agricultural chemicals, including many oil-based pesticides and liquid fertilizers. However, always check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of your specific chemical for "Glove Selection" to ensure nitrile is the recommended barrier material.  
Can I wash and reuse these gloves, or are they disposable?
While they are durable enough to be worn for a full day of work, they are generally treated as "limited-use" disposables in food processing to maintain sanitation. For field work, they can be rinsed and dried, but should be replaced if they become punctured or the interior becomes contaminated.
Why choose these over natural latex gloves?
Beyond being hypoallergenic, nitrile has better "chemical memory" than latex, meaning it holds its shape better when exposed to organic solvents and oils. Latex tends to swell and degrade quickly when it comes into contact with many common farm chemicals and petroleum products.
What sizes are available in the 12-pair pack?
We stock these in Small, Medium, and Large, XL and XXL. Because these are precision-fit gloves, we recommend selecting the size that provides a snug fit across the palm to ensure you don't lose the "tactile feedback" needed for delicate berry harvesting or tool handling.
