Pacific Resource Global manufactures natural rubber latex and blue nitrile examination gloves in Malaysia (Selangor). Side-by-side, the manufacturer sheets differ on material, finish options, colour, and named standards (ASTM D3578 vs D6319; ISO 11193 vs 10282), while both list EN 455, ambidextrous beaded cuff, sizes XS–XL, and 3-year storage from manufacturing date.
How this guide differs from our broader buying article
Our earlier latex vs nitrile examination gloves — which should you buy post is the broader buying narrative (use-case trade-offs, allergy context, and commercial choice framing). This page is different: it is a side-by-side property table taken from the two manufacturer specification sheets, then a short scenario map so buyers can lock the right line before RFQ.
For row-by-row explanations of each sheet, open the dedicated guides: natural rubber latex examination gloves specs and blue nitrile examination gloves specs.
Side-by-side: property table from the manufacturer sheets
Rows below are copied from the latex and blue nitrile examination glove specification sheets for these Pacific Resource Global product lines. Thickness, gram weight, and other numeric limits that are not printed on the sheets are not invented here—confirm those on RFQ and on the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot you order.
| Property | Latex (NRL exam line) | Nitrile (blue exam line) |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Natural Rubber Latex | 100% Nitrile (Acrylonitrile-butadiene) |
| Finish | Powdered / Powder-Free | Powder-Free, Textured Fingertips |
| Style | Ambidextrous, Beaded Cuff | Ambidextrous, Beaded Cuff |
| Sizes | XS, S, M, L, XL | XS, S, M, L, XL |
| Colour | Natural White / Amber | Blue |
| Standards | ASTM D3578, EN 455, ISO 11193 | ASTM D6319, EN 455, ISO 10282 |
| Storage | 3 Years from Manufacturing Date | 3 Years from Manufacturing Date |
Optional QC sampling language when freedom-from-holes AQL is part of the order: latex examination line AQL 2.5; nitrile examination line AQL 1.5. Confirm the AQL on the purchase order and on the COA for the shipped lot.
What the sheet differences mean (without inventing performance numbers)
- Material — Latex sheet: natural rubber latex. Nitrile sheet: 100% nitrile (acrylonitrile-butadiene). Lock the material string on the PO and private-label artwork so it matches the COA.
- Finish — Latex sheet offers powdered or powder-free. Nitrile sheet for this blue line is powder-free with textured fingertips. Do not assume the same finish options apply across materials.
- Style and sizes — Both sheets list ambidextrous, beaded cuff, and XS–XL. Size mix and carton marks still need an explicit PO line.
- Colour — Latex: natural white / amber. Nitrile: blue. Colour coding for departments or brand marks should follow the sheet for that SKU.
- Standards — Shared: EN 455. Latex-specific names on sheet: ASTM D3578 and ISO 11193. Nitrile-specific names on sheet: ASTM D6319 and ISO 10282. Align tender wording to the sheet for the material you buy.
- Storage — Both sheets state 3 years from manufacturing date. Plan FIFO from manufacture date codes, not from arrival date alone.
How to choose — scenario selection from the sheets
Use the sheet rows first; use the broader buying article second for commercial context.
- Choose the latex examination line when tender or import language names ASTM D3578 and/or ISO 11193, when you need a powdered or powder-free finish option on the same material family, or when colour is specified as natural white / amber. Product page: latex examination gloves. Spec deep-dive: latex specs guide.
- Choose the blue nitrile examination line when tender language names ASTM D6319 and/or ISO 10282, when the sheet must read 100% nitrile (synthetic, not natural rubber latex), and when finish is locked as powder-free with textured fingertips in blue. Product page: nitrile examination gloves. Spec deep-dive: nitrile specs guide.
- Both lines list EN 455, ambidextrous beaded cuff, XS–XL, and 3-year storage from manufacturing date—so those rows alone do not decide the material. Decide material and named ASTM/ISO pair first, then lock finish and colour from the matching sheet.
- Still weighing allergy, feel, or commercial trade-offs? Read the related broader guide: latex vs nitrile — which should you buy, then return here to freeze the property table for RFQ.
Procurement checklist before RFQ
- Pick latex or nitrile from the side-by-side table (material + ASTM/ISO pair + finish + colour).
- Copy the three standards named on that sheet onto the PO.
- State AQL in writing when QC is in scope (latex 2.5 / nitrile 1.5).
- Request lot documents from Certificates and confirm storage planning against the 3-year-from-manufacture row.
- Send size mix, volume, packing, and destination via Contact us.
FAQ — latex vs nitrile from the spec sheets
What differs on the latex vs nitrile manufacturer specification sheets?
Material (natural rubber latex vs 100% nitrile), finish options (powdered/powder-free on latex vs powder-free with textured fingertips on blue nitrile), colour (natural white/amber vs blue), and the ASTM/ISO names listed with EN 455. Style (ambidextrous, beaded cuff), sizes XS–XL, and 3-year storage from manufacturing date are the same on both sheets.
Which ASTM and ISO standards appear on each sheet?
The latex examination sheet lists ASTM D3578, EN 455, and ISO 11193. The blue nitrile examination sheet lists ASTM D6319, EN 455, and ISO 10282. EN 455 appears on both; the ASTM and ISO document numbers differ by material line.
Do both lines share the same storage life and size range?
Yes. Both manufacturer sheets state storage of 3 years from the manufacturing date and sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL. Align warehouse FIFO with carton manufacture dates for either line.
What AQL should buyers specify for latex vs nitrile examination lines?
When QC and freedom-from-holes sampling are part of the order, specify AQL 2.5 for the latex examination line and AQL 1.5 for the nitrile examination line, and confirm each on the COA for the shipped lot.
