PRIMED Sustain Biodegradable Nitrile Exam Gloves

PRIMED introduces Sustain, our new line of biodegradable nitrile exam gloves. Sustain nitrile exam gloves are infused with an organic additive that allows them to mineralize when in contact with landfill microbes. This technology allows the gloves to biodegrade 81% in 490 days, compared to 0.5% for standard nitrile formulations in the same time frame according to ASTM D5511. Byproducts of the biodegradation process include water, non-reactive compounds and biogas. In turn, this biogas can be harvested to produce renewable energy, a capability established in many large landfills. As the additive is only activated in a landfill environment, quality and shelf life are not compromised. PRIMED Medical Products remains committed to protecting not only people, but also our planet.
