GREEN-DEXTM

PROTECTS HANDS. PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT

The World’s First Biodegradable Nitrile Glove

The inventors of the world’s fi rst disposable nitrile glove, N-DEX® now bring you the world’s fi rst biodegradable disposable nitrile glove; GREEN-DEX™.A truly ground-breaking characteristic of GREEN-DEX is its ability to maintain the same physical properties as regular N-DEX nitrile gloves without any loss of performance whilst remaining fully biodegradable.

Performs on the hand, breaks down in landfi llManufactured from industrial grade nitrile with a specially designed low-modulus formulation, GREEN-DEX provides the user with superior comfort and barrier protection against a variety of chemicals, greases and oils.

How it worksThe unique biodegradation process is achieved thanks to innovative, ground-breaking Eco Best Technology™ (EBT). EBT accelerates the biodegradation of nitrile in biologically active landfi lls and anaerobic digesters as validated by independent certifi ed laboratories using internationally recognised test methods. It is composed of organic material designed to make GREEN-DEX attractive to microbial activity and upon consuming the EBT formulation, micro-organisms excrete enzymes that depolymerise the nitrile. The result is biogases and inert humus.

• Promotes sustainability• Minimises landfi ll volume• Maintains the same properties and can be used in the same applications as regular

nitrile N-DEX® gloves • Protects the hand from a wide array of chemical hazards• High performance protection against viruses and bacteria• Low modulus: Second skin feel• Minimal allergy risks• Cuff prevents dirt from entering the glove• Great freedom of movement for the wrist
