SHOWA® - The Original Inventor of Single-Use Nitrile Gloves
The History of a Ground-Breaking Innovation

Commercialized by Best® Manufacturing Company back in 1991, N-DEX® brand was the first family of low-modulus, single use latex-free gloves that solved this protein allergy issue and provided wearers with a semi-elastic, tactile and form-fitting glove with more tensile strength and durability.
 
SHOWA® Glove Japan acquired Best® Manufacturing Company in 2007.  This acquisition allowed SHOWA® R&D to work in concert with the Best® R&D on the development of countless innovations since the acquisitions that continue to raise the bar and change the future of disposable hand protection.
 
Fast forward to today, SHOWA® is able to distribute the most comprehensive and evolving single use nitrile glove solution innovations and offer the broadest line of superior quality, high performing gloves that includes the first of their kind GreenCircle® certified single-use biodegredable nitrile gloves that feature Eco-Best Technology® (EBT). 
 
Gloves with this technology offer accelerated break down (82% within 386 days per ASTM D5526 test standard)  for reduced impact on the environment without a loss in performance, fit, feel or protection. Also available  are single-use sustainable nitrile gloves that meet ASTM D6978-05 certified nitrile gloves for use with fatal toxins and nitrile glove styles that meet FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 safe for use with foods/food handling.
 
Whatever you may need protection from bacteria, viruses, liquids or chemicals encountered throughout the day, every day remember that SHOWA® glove manufacturer offers single-use gloves perfect for any workplace setting or environment!
