HandPRO Fortis 500 Extended Cuff Nitrile Gloves – Large – 100 CT (Matte Black, Powder-Free, Accelerator-Free, 10.5″ Length)

Heavy-Duty Barrier Protection for Cultivation, Lab Work & Harvesting

Maintain strict hygiene, chemical resistance, and cleanroom-grade hand protection across every phase of your indoor grow operation with HandPRO Fortis 500 Extended Cuff Nitrile Gloves (Large – 100 Count). Engineered for demanding laboratory, botanical extraction, sterile tissue culture, and intensive horticultural workflows, these matte black disposable gloves deliver superior puncture resistance and tactile control without compromising comfort. Featuring an extended 10.5-inch (260 mm) beaded cuff, the Fortis 500 provides critical extra splash and particulate coverage over the wrist and lower forearm—making it easy to secure over lab coats, long sleeves, or watchbands during sterile transfers and reservoir maintenance.

Patented LOW DERMA™ Accelerator-Free & Sulfur-Free Nitrile

Standard disposable gloves frequently rely on chemical accelerators that trigger Type IV allergic contact dermatitis and skin irritation during prolonged shifts. HandPRO Fortis 500 gloves are manufactured using patented LOW DERMA™ technology—an advanced cross-linked nitrile formulation made completely free of sulfur, thiurams, dithiocarbamates, carba-mix, nickel, and mercaptobenzothiazoles (MBT). Completely free of natural rubber latex and powder, these FDA-cleared Low Dermatitis Potential gloves protect sensitive skin while preventing powder contamination on delicate plant trichomes, agar plates, and sensitive analytical instruments.

Reinforced X-Linked Strength & 640% Elastic Flexibility

Built substantially thicker than standard exam gloves, the Fortis 500 features reinforced 5.1–5.5 mil fingertips paired with a 3.5–3.9 mil palm and 2.7 mil cuff. Its advanced cross-linked polymer structure achieves a remarkable 600% to 640% ultimate elongation and 27–33 MPa tensile strength. This rare combination of heavy-duty durability and high elasticity prevents ripping or tearing when handling sharp pruning shears, stainless steel trellis hardware, concentrated mineral nutrients, and pH adjusters, while preserving the fine motor dexterity required for delicate cloning and spore work.

Textured Fingertips & Anti-Glare Matte Black Finish

Precision micro-textured fingertips ensure a reliable, anti-slip grip in both wet and dry conditions—whether you are calibrating pH/EC meters, handling wet glass flasks, or trimming sticky harvest material. The sleek matte black color reduces overhead grow-light glare and eye strain while providing high visual contrast so light-colored powders, spores, salt buildup, or contaminants are immediately visible on the glove surface.

Certified Chemical & Bio-Hazard Compliance

Tested and certified to rigorous industrial and medical standards—including NFPA 1999, ASTM D6319, ASTM F1671, ASTM F6978 (chemotherapy drug permeation), and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for safe food and botanical processing—these ambidextrous gloves deliver dependable protection across commercial cultivation facilities, extraction labs, and home grow rooms alike.
