SHOWA 2.5mil Blue Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves | Case of 2,000

2.5mil biodegradable nitrile nitrile gloves from SHOWA with Eco Best Technology (EBT) — our fine touch biodegradable option, engineered for high-dexterity tasks where tactile sensitivity matters more than heavy chemical protection. Ideal for extended pipetting sessions, microscope work, and sample handling where glove fatigue is a real concern.

The 2.5mil thickness provides a second-skin feel while still maintaining barrier integrity for non-hazardous lab work, general sample handling, and general laboratory use. Micro-textured fingertips ensure a confident grip without the bulk of thicker gloves. Blue color is the most familiar and widely accepted glove color in laboratory and clinical settings.

Same EBT biodegradation technology as our 4mil models — 82% biodegradation in 386 days (ASTM D5511), GreenCircle Certified. The sustainable choice for labs consuming high volumes of examination-weight gloves.
