When a kitchen crew, a janitorial team or a paint shop is supposed to change gloves between every task, the thing that actually decides whether they do it is cost per glove. AMMEX X3 Blue Nitrile is AMMEX's lightest and most flexible industrial-grade glove, built specifically for short-duration work where frequent changes matter more than tear strength. At 3 mil in the palm and 4 mil at the fingertips it gives you nitrile's puncture resistance and chemical barrier with the tactile feel of a much thinner glove. This is the XX-Large size, sold as a case of 1000: 100 gloves per box, 10 boxes per case.
Built for
- Food service and food prep. Component materials comply with FDA regulations for food contact, and the low per-glove cost is what makes a change-gloves-every-task rule survive a busy shift.
- Janitorial and sanitation routes. Restroom to breakroom to trash, with a fresh pair at each stop instead of one pair for the whole building.
- Painting, staining and finishing. Powder-free at under 2 mg per glove, so nothing transfers onto wet paint, adhesive or a finished surface.
- Anyone with genuinely large hands. A glove that is too tight is the single most common cause of tearing, and XX-Large fixes a fit problem that no amount of extra mil will.
How it is built
Nitrile gives roughly three times the puncture resistance of latex and provides a dependable barrier against cleaning solutions, paint and a wide range of common and specialty chemicals, with none of the natural rubber latex proteins that cause allergic reactions. The X3 is chlorinated, so it slides onto slightly damp hands instead of bunching, which is the practical difference between a crew that re-gloves and a crew that skips it. Texture on the palm, fingers and fingertips holds grip in wet and dry conditions. The cuff is beaded so it will not roll down.
Choosing the right thickness
Be honest about the work. Three mil is the right answer for food prep, light cleaning, painting and salon work. It is the wrong answer for wrenching, brake work, demolition or anything with a sharp edge, where users consistently report fingertip failures. If your crew is tearing through gloves, step up to the 5 mil Gloveworks industrial nitrile, or the 6 mil Gloveworks black nitrile exam glove if you also need a medical grade.

Frequently asked questions
Are these medical or exam gloves?
No. The X3 is an industrial-grade glove at AQL 4.0. Exam-grade nitrile is held to AQL 2.5 or lower and has to be registered with the FDA as a Class I medical device. If you need an exam glove, use the Gloveworks black nitrile examination glove instead.
Can I use them with food?
Yes. AMMEX states the component materials comply with FDA regulations for food contact, which is why the X3 is positioned first for food service and sanitation.
Is 3 mil thick enough?
For food prep, janitorial work, painting and salon use, yes, and the thinner wall is what gives it the dexterity people buy it for. For automotive, mechanical or demolition work choose a 5 mil or 6 mil glove instead, because thin nitrile fails at the fingertips first.
Are they powdered?
No. They are powder-free at under 2 mg per glove, so there is no residue to contaminate wet paint, adhesives or food. They are chlorinated instead, which is what lets them slide on over damp hands.
How many gloves are in a case?
One thousand: 100 gloves per box, 10 boxes per case. This listing is the XX-Large size.
Do they contain latex?
No. They are 100 percent nitrile with no natural rubber latex proteins, so they are safe to hand to staff with a latex sensitivity.
