Most glove spend goes on short tasks: wiping down a restroom, prepping food, bagging trash, handling a chemical bottle for ninety seconds. Paying exam-grade prices for gloves that get changed six times an hour is how a janitorial supply budget quietly bleeds. AMMEX X3 Blue Nitrile is the answer to that specific problem - a 3 mil industrial-grade nitrile glove that keeps nitrile's puncture resistance and dexterity at the lowest nitrile price point AMMEX offers. This is the large size, sold as a case of 1000 in 10 boxes of 100.
They are latex free, which removes latex sensitivity from the conversation for both staff and customers, and powder free, so there is no residue left on surfaces, food or a customer's property. The material is chlorinated, which is the detail crews actually feel: chlorinated gloves slide on and off easily, and easy changes are what make frequent glove changes happen in practice instead of on paper. A textured surface adds grip on wet bottles and tools, and the component materials comply with FDA regulations for food contact.
Nitrile offers roughly three times the puncture resistance of latex, so even at 3 mil these hold up to light-duty work far better than vinyl. The blue color is also useful for color coding - many operations assign a color by department, size or process so a supervisor can see at a glance whether the right glove is being worn on the right task.

Frequently asked questions
How does 3 mil nitrile compare to a thicker exam glove?
At 3 mil these are built for short-duration, lighter-duty work: excellent dexterity and tactile feel, lower cost per glove. For longer wear, sustained chemical contact or heavier handling, step up to a thicker heavy-duty nitrile.
Are these safe for food handling?
The component materials comply with FDA regulations for food contact, and they are powder free so nothing is left behind on food or surfaces. They are widely used in food service and prep.
What does chlorinated mean and why should I care?
Chlorination treats the glove surface so it slides on and off without sticking. In practice that means staff can change gloves quickly, which is what makes a frequent-change policy actually get followed.
Why choose nitrile over vinyl if the task is light?
Nitrile has roughly three times the puncture resistance of latex and holds up far better than vinyl to cleaning chemicals and incidental snags, so you lose fewer gloves to tears mid-task.
How are these packaged?
A case of 1000 - 10 boxes of 100. Boxes are the practical dispensing unit, so a case distributes easily across carts, closets and vehicles.
Do these come in other sizes and colors?
Yes. The X3 line runs from small through XXL and is also available in black, which many operations use to color code by size, department or process.
