Ansell MICROFLEX Onyx N64 Black Nitrile Gloves, Mid-Duty, Chemical Splash, 100/Box

MICROFLEX® Onyx® N64 Nitrile Glove Features

Positioned as Ansell's mid-duty black nitrile gloves for comfortable extended-wear applications across automotive inspection, parts handling, food service, laboratory, and body art environments, the MICROFLEX Onyx N64 combines a soft nitrile formulation at 3.5 mil palm and 5.1 mil finger thickness with TNT™ Chemical Splash Resistance Technology, fingertip texture for controlled grip, and FDA 510(k) medical exam grade approval. Black color masks oil, grime, and bodily fluids while creating a contrasting backdrop that makes light-colored objects and contaminants more visible. Beaded cuff, powder-free, 100 gloves per box in Small through XX-Large.

Where the MICROFLEX MidKnight MK-296 is the heavy-duty black glove for demanding automotive and wet-grip applications, Onyx N64 is the everyday black glove position — softer formulation, lighter gauge, TNT chemical splash protection, and fingertip texture for precision contact tasks where hand fatigue and dexterity matter. Available in S through XXL at LabSupplies.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Onyx N64 differ from the MidKnight MK-296 for black glove selection?

Both are black FDA exam grade Ansell MICROFLEX nitrile gloves but serve different duty levels. Onyx N64 is the mid-duty option — softer nitrile at 3.5 mil palm, fingertip texture, TNT chemical splash protection, suited for inspection, parts handling, food service, and lab use. MidKnight MK-296 is the heavy-duty option — thicker at 4.7 mil palm, fully textured non-foaming for consistent wet grip, explicitly silicone-free for paint and coating applications, and sized for automotive, maintenance, and law enforcement demand.

What does the soft nitrile formulation in the Onyx N64 provide?

Soft nitrile formulation produces a more pliable, comfortable glove film that conforms readily to hand movement without the resistance of stiffer heavy-duty compounds. Workers wearing gloves for extended periods — inspection lines, laboratory bench work, food processing, salon applications — experience less hand fatigue with softer nitrile. Softness does not reduce protection: the N64 maintains a 3.5 mil palm barrier with TNT chemical splash resistance throughout the work shift.

What applications is fingertip texture suited for compared to full-hand texture?

Fingertip texture concentrates grip enhancement where fingertips contact surfaces and tools — the primary contact zone for precision tasks like parts inspection, assembly, sample handling, and instrument use. Full-hand texture adds grip at the palm for tasks where the palm bears load or grips larger tools in wet conditions. Fingertip-only texture on the N64 produces less friction drag across smooth surfaces and a more comfortable inner fit, appropriate for the mid-duty inspection and dexterity-focused tasks it targets.

Where does the Onyx N64 fit within the Ansell black glove lineup?

Onyx N64 is the mid-duty everyday black glove — soft formulation, 3.5 mil palm, fingertip texture, TNT chemical splash at an accessible price for general-purpose use. MidKnight MK-296 is the heavy-duty black glove — thicker, fully textured, non-foaming, silicone-free for demanding automotive, industrial, and law enforcement applications. Stocking both lets facilities assign the appropriate black glove to light-duty and heavy-duty roles rather than compromising on a single mid-spec option for all tasks.
