Biotouch Biodegradable Black Powder Free Nitrile Gloves - Box of 100 Small

Biodegradable, AQL 1.5, chemical tested, black, medical grade, medium weight, nitrile examination gloves. BioTouch contains a biodegradable technology that kickstarts a biodegradation process only when discarded in an active landfill environment. BioTouch is more environmentally friendly with a much faster natural breakdown compared to regular nitrile: long term ASTM testing resulted in BioTouch showing 90% biodegradation in just 490 days compared to regular nitrile, which can take over 100 years. This technology works through the introduction of a polymerised 'food source' during the manufacturing process, bacteria attracted to this secrete an enzyme that breaks down and depolymerises polymer chains, allowing microorganisms to break down any remaining polymers within the glove naturally. The introduction of this technology is incorporated into existing manufacturing techniques, therefore not impacting the quality of the glove. BioTouch will not biodegrade before disposal. This distinctive technology allows the biodegradation process to begin only when surrounded by microorganisms present in an active landfill environment. Studies have down that these gloves fully maintain their quality and integrity for at least 3 years. Contains innovative biodegradable technology. Tested to EN374.
