According to Magid (Romeoville, IL) , just one 40-foot container of traditional micro-foam nitrile coating uses an entire year’s worth of drinking water for 688 people. Because of this, the company is switching away from the traditional process of manufacturing micro-foam nitrile coated gloves, and its new GP102 general purpose work glove's foam nitrile palm coating uses no drinking water at all.
Magid is putting this new coating onto a glove shell that's made with 90% recycled GRS-certified yarn and packaged in 100% recycled, earth-friendly material. Honored by Environmental Protection’s 2023 New Product of the Year, this new foam coating is softer and more flexible than standard nitrile, while maintaining the oil and water resistance of traditional foam nitrile.
