Black latex gloves are stronger and more durable than white or cream gloves and are often used by tattoo artists, auto mechanics, and medical staff. They are also available in nitrile for those with latex allergies and can be powder-free for a cleaner look.
Black latex gloves are latex gloves that have been colored with a black dye, so they are a deep black rather than the more conventional white or cream. Several companies also make black nitrile gloves, which look a lot like latex gloves but are made from nitrile, a material that won’t trigger latex allergies. Companies that sell gloves, such as beauty and medical providers, tend to carry black latex gloves, and these gloves can also be purchased at drug stores.
Color isn’t the only thing that stands out about black latex gloves. These gloves tend to be stronger and more durable, and while they are not sterile, they are generally thick enough to prevent bacteria and viruses from entering the glove, making them safe for use in biohazardous situations. Black latex gloves also show no stains, which can make them less distracting.
Tattoo artists often like to wear black gloves because they can be used to frame a tattoo site, allowing for a clear and sharp view of the area. The gloves are also free of ink smudges, reducing distractions and allowing the tattoo artist to focus on the area of interest. Black latex gloves are worn by auto mechanics, beauticians, and others with somewhat messy jobs to also reduce visible staining, allowing them to focus and see what they are doing.
Classically, black latex gloves are not powdered, and many companies texture their gloves to provide additional grip and traction. Lack of powder can make gloves a bit more difficult to don, and it’s important to wear gloves carefully so they don’t tear or tear, compromising their ability to protect your hand. Powder-free gloves won’t leave any smudges or marks either, as there’s no powder to create distinctive marks, which is a definite benefit in the eyes of some users.
Some medical staff like to wear black gloves because they don’t show blood and other bodily fluids. In regions where latex and non-latex gloves are used, non-latex gloves can be black, blue, or purple for easy identification, making it easier for first responders to choose the right gloves for the task. People with latex allergies should be sure to tell medical personnel about their allergies so that the proper gloves are used.
