Nitrile gloves are extremely strong and have great strength and durability. Vinyl gloves cannot maintain durability under stressful conditions due to their very weak glove film.

Puncture resistant

Vinyl gloves tend to break or puncture with research showing up to 61% failure rate under stressful work conditions. For nitrile gloves, however, this is not a problem, as it has a much lower failure rate of 3% or less. If workers fail to notice their glove is punctured, it can lead to a variety of work-related health and safety issues with the possibility of legal consequences.
