5 Mil Nitrile Gloves
The sweet spot between heavy-duty protection and all-day comfort. Latex-free, powder-free, and built for professionals who can't afford a glove that quits on them.
Not every glove is built for real work. Thin 3 mil gloves tear under pressure. Heavy 8 mil gloves slow you down. 5 mil nitrile gloves hit the mark that professionals across Canada keep coming back to — strong enough to handle chemicals, oils, and sharp tools, yet responsive enough that you never lose touch with the task at hand.
At Bracket Company, we carry two high-performance 5 mil nitrile options: the Touch Flex and the Rite Touch. Both are powder-free nitrile gloves, both are latex-free for allergy-safe use, and both are stocked in multiple sizes from XS to XL. Whether you need black 5 mil nitrile gloves for your garage or tattoo studio, or blue 5 mil nitrile gloves for food prep and clinical work, we have you covered.
When you buy 5 mil nitrile gloves from Bracket Company, you get a trusted Canadian supplier, bulk-friendly pricing, and fast shipping straight to your door — no compromise, no guesswork.
Built-In Advantages, Box After Box
Every feature of a 5 mil nitrile glove is a deliberate engineering choice. Here's what that means for your hands on the job.
Puncture-Resistant
5 mil thickness delivers robust protection against needles, sharp edges, and debris without sacrificing grip.
100% Latex-Free
Zero natural rubber proteins. Safe for users and patients with latex allergies or sensitive skin conditions.
Textured Fingertip Grip
Engineered surface pattern keeps your grip firm in wet, oily, or high-pressure conditions.
Chemical Resistant
Nitrile butadiene rubber resists oils, solvents, acids, and cleaning agents that destroy latex or vinyl.
Food Safe & FDA-Cleared
Meets food-contact standards for direct handling of ingredients, meal prep, and meat processing.
Extended Wear Comfort
Flexible fit adapts to your hand's natural shape, reducing fatigue during long shifts or detailed tasks.
Ambidextrous Design
Fits either hand. Speeds up donning in fast-paced environments where every second matters.
Powder-Free Formula
No starch powder means less contamination risk, cleaner work surfaces, and no skin dryness.
Black or Blue — Pick Your Pro
Color isn't just an aesthetic choice with nitrile gloves. Each finish is purpose-matched to the environments that use it most.
Touch Flex & Rite Touch
Black gloves are the industry standard wherever appearance, contrast, and grease-masking matter. The dark finish hides oil, ink, and grime — so your work looks clean even when it isn't.
- Automotive & mechanical repair
- Tattoo & permanent makeup studios
- Industrial & manufacturing facilities
- Janitorial & sanitation crews
- Hair salons & beauty services
Rite Touch Blue
Blue is the classic color for healthcare and food service — and for good reason. Any contamination or glove fragment stands out immediately against light-colored surfaces, making it the safest visible choice in sterile and food environments.
- Medical clinics & dental offices
- Food processing & restaurants
- Pharmaceutical handling
- Laboratory & research settings
- Veterinary practices
Industries That Rely on 5 Mil
From the operating room to the oil change bay, 5 mil nitrile gloves are the everyday standard for professionals who need reliable hand protection without slowing down.
Why 5 Mil Is the Sweet Spot
Glove thickness is measured in mils (thousandths of an inch). Going thicker adds protection but costs you feel. Going thinner gains sensitivity but sacrifices durability. Here's where each thickness lands in practice — and why 5 mil is the clear winner for most professional tasks.

How to Choose the Right Glove
Not sure which 5 mil glove is right for your team? Here are three quick decisions to make before you order.
Pick Your Color
Choose black for automotive, tattoo, beauty, and industrial environments where grease and staining are a daily reality. Choose blue for medical, dental, food service, and lab settings where contamination visibility is a safety requirement.
Find Your Size
A properly fitted glove shouldn't bunch at the fingertips or pull tight across the palm. Measure your dominant hand around the knuckles and match to our sizing guide: S (7"), M (8"), L (9"), XL (10"+).
Choose Your Box
Individual boxes work for light use. If your team goes through gloves daily — food prep, clinical work, mechanical repairs — order by the case. Our Rite Touch case ships 10 boxes (1,000 gloves) for maximum value.
5 Mil vs. Other Thicknesses
Use 3–4 mil for quick exam use with maximum sensitivity. Use 5 mil for all-day wear across medical, food, and industrial tasks. Move to 6–8 mil only when heavy chemical exposure or extreme puncture risk is involved.
