SAS Raven at 6 mil and 100 per box is SAS Safety's core black industrial nitrile—the direct competitor to GLOVEWORKS Black and Venom Steel Industrial in the standard gauge, standard count segment. One mil thicker than standard 5 mil options, SAS Raven gives industrial buyers a slight durability step-up without stepping into the 7–8 mil HD pricing tier.
General industrial maintenance, light-to-medium automotive service, manufacturing assembly, and any operation that standardizes on 6 mil black nitrile at 100-count for volume procurement. The Raven family is SAS Safety's most recognized product line—a known quantity in the industrial contractor market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SAS Raven come in colors other than black?
The WC Safety listing carries the standard black Raven. SAS Safety also produces other colors in the Raven line. Check SAS Safety's full catalog for color variants.
Can I order SAS Raven by the case?
Yes. Cases are available through Amazon and through SAS Safety industrial distributors. Check the Amazon listing for current case quantities.
What sizes does SAS Raven come in?
S, M, L, XL, and 2XL. Confirm availability at time of order.
How does SAS Raven at 6 mil compare to GLOVEWORKS Standard at 5 mil?
SAS Raven is 1 mil thicker than GLOVEWORKS Standard at comparable per-pair pricing. The extra mil provides measurably better puncture resistance for tasks at the margin between standard and HD performance requirements.
Can SAS Raven be used for tattooing?
Yes. 6 mil black powder-free nitrile is appropriate for tattooing. 6 mil provides better durability than 4–5 mil options for extended tattoo sessions.
Is the SAS Raven appropriate for food handling?
Yes—nitrile, powder-free, latex-free. Black is non-standard for most food-service color protocols; verify with your local food safety authority.
What is the beaded cuff for?
The beaded cuff is a small rolled edge at the glove opening that prevents the cuff from rolling during use and assists quick donning.
Can I use SAS Raven for IV or blood draw?
Yes. ASTM D6319 exam-rated barrier protection is appropriate for phlebotomy and blood-borne pathogen exposure tasks.
What is the shelf life?
Three to five years in cool, dry storage.
How does SAS Raven compare to the Derma-Tuff at the same gauge?
Same SAS Safety brand, same 6 mil gauge, same 100/box count. Derma-Tuff adds the inner textured coating for moist-hand donning comfort. Choose Raven for standard use; Derma-Tuff for workers who experience discomfort donning standard nitrile on moist hands.

SAS Safety Corporation is an established US industrial PPE brand with distribution through major industrial safety suppliers and a focus on the contractor and maintenance markets.
