The Microflex MidKnight disposable, chlorinated, powder-free, standard length nitrile glove is fully textured along the fingertips, fingers, and palm and has a black color that hides stains and helps prevent visual distraction. It has a palm thickness of 4.7 mils and a finger thickness of 5.5 mils, and is 9.6" long from the tip of the middle finger to the edge of the beaded wrist cuff, which is 3.1 mils thick. It is suitable for automotive, emergency medical services, funeral, industrial safety, laboratory, law enforcement, and tattoo applications. Nitrile provides better elasticity than vinyl, better puncture resistance than latex or vinyl, better abrasion resistance than chloroprene, and helps reduce the likelihood of allergic reaction. The glove is textured on the fingertips, fingers, and palm for improved grip, particularly in wet conditions, compared to a glove with textured fingers. It has been washed in a diluted chlorine-based solution to help reduce tackiness, providing lower surface friction than a non-chlorinated glove and allowing quick donning in wet environments. This powder-free glove leaves no residue, helping to reduce the likelihood of spreading bacteria compared to a powdered glove. The color of this ambidextrous glove is black. Tensile strength, measured in megapascals (MPa), is the amount of force required to rip a glove; the higher the number, the stronger the glove material. This glove has a tensile strength of 27 MPa before aging and 24 MPa after aging. Elongation measures how much a glove can be stretched before it breaks. It is expressed as a percent of the original length of the glove at the moment of breakage, and the higher the percent, the more the glove can stretch. This glove has an elongation of 500% before aging and 400% after aging. Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quality specification for the defect rate in surgical and exam gloves. The FDA requires an AQL of 1.5 for surgical gloves and 2.5
