I like disposables mainly for working with expoxy, glues and diesel servicing.
Not worried so much about the nasties, but more to save all the hassles of cleaning the stuff off your hands, which also means more nasties (solvents) again.
These are certainly a LOT more durable than the regular Ansell rubber jobs I've used for years. The rubber ones were OK for engine oil but fell to bits with petrol and kero/turps.
So these new ones should be the go for cleaning engine parts - impervious to petrochemicals.
Found this link which shows how resistant they are: Chemical Resistance Chart for Nitrile Gloves

Hi Guys,
Do they come in different sizes, or are they "one size fits all", which with my big hands really means, "these won't fit you".
I break 1 in 3 latex gloves just trying to get them on......

They stretch quite a bit, but you don't want any gloves too tight.
I wear large size for riggers and Ninja gloves, but tried the XL in these as well - they were too large for me.
So I got large size in these as well.
Seem OK.
I doubt these wil tear like the rubber Ansell type jobs do when putting them on. Way tougher.
I also got the non powdered/dusted ones. They seem to be the most popular.

I found the blue nitrile ones don't last all that long with Jotun 605 marine epoxy paint. I usually wear 2 pairs to try keeping the crap off of my skin. Probably not the worst epoxy about - it hasn't killed me yet - but I hate all epoxies on general principle. They work well for their design tasks though.

I tried the nitriles today on two jobs, painting enamel and cleaning up metal parts with petrol.
They handle petrochemical well without disintegrating and I'm pleased with them.
Certainly keep your hands clean and can be reused a few times going on todays performance.
Need to let them dry out though - still get sweaty.
