GRANBERG 880: Black Nitrile Disposables, Chemical Rated
Read this before you compare the price
A $10 box of disposable gloves keeps your hands clean. That is all it is certified to do.
This box is certified to stop chemicals, to block viruses, to handle diluted pesticides, and to touch food. Four separate laboratory approvals that cheap boxes do not carry and are not allowed to claim. That is the difference, and it is the whole reason for the price.
The honest comparison
| Typical cheap box | GRANBERG 880 | |
|---|---|---|
| Keeps hands clean | Yes | Yes |
| Tested against chemicals | No | Yes. Over 8 hours against caustic soda |
| Tested against viruses | No | Yes |
| Approved for diluted pesticides | No | Yes |
| Approved to touch food, including fatty food | No | Yes |
| Independently tested before it can be sold | Not required | Yes. PPE Category III |
Put plainly: if a splash of cleaning chemical, a pesticide mix, a biological risk or food contact is anywhere near the job, a cheap box is the wrong glove and no price makes it the right one. If none of that applies, buy the cheap box. We would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong thing.
What the certifications actually mean
- Chemical protection, EN ISO 374-1 Type B (KPT). Sent to an independent lab and tested against a panel of chemicals, with the breakthrough time measured for each. The results are published below rather than claimed.
- Virus protection, EN ISO 374-5. Tested as a barrier against biological agents, not just assumed to be one.
- Pesticides, ISO 18889:2019 Level G1. Approved for handling diluted pesticides. Very few disposables carry this.
- Food contact, EN 1186. Approved for direct contact with all food types, including fatty foods, which is the harder test.
- PPE Category III. The highest European classification, used for risks that can cause serious or irreversible harm. It cannot be self-certified. A notified body has to test it.
- AQL 1.5. The quality sampling level for pinhole defects. Lower is better and 1.5 is the standard for gloves used in serious work.
Chemical permeation, measured breakthrough times
| Chemical | Class | Breakthrough |
|---|---|---|
| 40% Sodium hydroxide, caustic soda (K) | 6 | over 480 min |
| 30% Hydrogen peroxide (P) | 2 | over 30 min |
| 37% Formaldehyde (T) | 2 | over 30 min |
| 25% Ammonium hydroxide (O) | 1 | over 10 min |
Methanol, n-Heptane, 96% sulphuric acid and 99% acetic acid tested at Class 1, under 10 minutes. Always specify against the chemicals in your own risk assessment rather than against a general rating.
