How Jiali Gloves' Latex and Nitrile Lines Differ by Use Case

Updated

Jiali Gloves splits its catalog by material first, then by task: latex lines (household, industrial, tendon heavy-duty) trade on elasticity, tear resistance, and grip, while nitrile lines (chemical, disposable) trade on abrasion and oil resistance plus a latex-free option. If you are matching a glove to a job, the deciding question is usually whether you need stretch and comfort (latex) or chemical/oil resistance and no latex protein (nitrile). The company has manufactured from its own facility in Zhanjiang, Guangdong since 1998, with 9 automated dipping lines and 180M+ pairs per year, and offers OEM/ODM private label across these lines.

The two material families at a glance

Dimension Latex lines Nitrile lines
Core strength High elasticity, tear resistance Abrasion resistance, oil resistance
Typical tasks Household cleaning, industrial/gardening, heavy-duty handling Chemical and mechanical work, disposable exam use
Latex-free option No Yes (disposable nitrile)
Notable spec High visibility & dirt-resistant (industrial) Heavy-duty 9″, extended 12″ length
Certification example CE Cat II (household), CE · EN ISO 21420 (industrial) CE Cat III · EN 388 4101X · EN ISO 374-1 Type A (green nitrile industrial)

The certification split matters for selection: the green nitrile industrial glove is rated Category III with EN 388 4101X and EN ISO 374-1 Type A, which points to chemical and mechanical protection claims. The household latex glove is Category II with TÜV REACH, which fits general household cleaning rather than chemical handling.

Matching a line to the task

Household cleaning and kitchen work

Choose the household latex gloves. The listed features are high elasticity, tear resistance, and multiple colors — the priorities for repeated washing, dishwashing, and general home cleaning where comfort and durability matter more than chemical ratings. Certification here is CE Cat II with TÜV REACH.

Industrial work and gardening

Choose the industrial latex gloves. Same elasticity and tear resistance as the household line, plus high visibility and dirt resistance — useful when gloves need to stay visible on a site and shed grime. Certification is CE · EN ISO 21420.

Heavy-duty industrial handling

Choose the tendon latex gloves, positioned as suitable for all types of industries. This is the heavy-duty series in the lineup, so pick it when the household or standard industrial latex glove is likely to wear through too fast.

Chemical and mechanical work

Choose the green nitrile industrial gloves. Nitrile is the material to pick when oil and abrasion are the failure modes rather than stretch. The listed protection profile — EN 388 4101X (mechanical) and EN ISO 374-1 Type A (chemical) under CE Cat III — is the strongest chemical claim in the catalog.

Disposable and exam use

Choose the disposable exam gloves, available in both latex and nitrile, in multiple sizes and lightweight construction. If latex sensitivity is a concern, the 12″ nitrile disposable line is the latex-free option and adds extended length for forearm coverage, with a wide size range.

Private label and custom branding

The OEM gloves line covers custom logo, custom packaging, and 1-on-1 service. This applies across household and industrial gloves, with custom color, weight, packaging, and branding available.

How to decide in practice

  1. Identify the main failure mode. Stretch and tear (latex) versus oil, abrasion, or chemical contact (nitrile).
  2. Check whether latex is acceptable. If not, go straight to the nitrile disposable or green nitrile industrial line.
  3. Match the protection level to the hazard. General cleaning needs Cat II; chemical and mechanical work needs the Cat III nitrile line with EN 374-1 Type A.
  4. Decide on length and size. Standard disposable sizes, or 12″ nitrile if you need extended forearm coverage.
  5. Confirm branding needs. If you need your own logo and packaging, route the order through the OEM line rather than a standard product.

What this comparison does not tell you

The available product information covers materials, uses, features, and certifications, but not prices, minimum order quantities, lead times, or payment terms. Those need to be confirmed directly with the supplier before you commit to a line, especially for OEM/ODM orders where custom color, weight, and packaging change the specification.
