SAS Safety Astro-Grip Exam-Grade Powder-Free Nitrile Disposable Gloves

Astro-Grip is the texture specialist of this SAS set: an exam-grade powder-free nitrile with an aggressive raised grip pattern for wet and oily handling — the glove for parts washing, fluid changes, and slick-component work where smooth nitrile skates.

sas safety astro-grip exam-grade powder-free nitrile — what the listing actually specifies

Key details from the SAS Safety listing

A cut level is not a puncture, chemical or heat rating. ANSI/ISEA 105 scores those hazards on separate scales, and a glove chosen for blade contact can be the wrong glove for a needle, a solvent or a hot part. Anyone with a latex allergy must also check the liner and the coating material, not just the outer surface.

Where this model fits

Its case is grip under contamination; the smooth-finish siblings serve clean-dry touch work better. Like all disposables it is splash-tolerant, not chemical-protective — sustained solvent immersion belongs to rated reusables.

Category guidance lives in our disposable glove selection guide and the material comparison reference; sizing is covered by the glove size chart.

How we assess this product

WC Safety is an independent PPE review and research site. We do not sell, ship, or stock anything, and we have not physically tested this nitrile glove. What we do is read the published SAS Safety specification against the governing standard, flag what the listing does and does not state, and place the product in context next to the alternatives we cover. Where a number matters for compliance - a rating, a class, a temperature, a voltage - we take it from the manufacturer listing and expect you to confirm it on the live listing before you buy. The star rating on this page belongs to Amazon customers, not to us. Read more across our anti-vibration gloves and workplace PPE coverage.

Common questions about this model

What does the raised texture change?

Wet and oily grip: the pattern channels fluid away from the contact patch the way a tire tread does. On dry precision work the same texture reads as bulk — match the finish to the contamination level of the task.

Does texture weaken the glove?

No — the pattern is molded, not cut. Failure still comes from snag, puncture, and chemistry, on the same schedule as any nitrile of its mil weight. Grip buys control, which itself prevents many tear events.

Nitrile versus latex for oily work?

Nitrile, decisively: oils degrade natural rubber latex quickly and nitrile resists them, on top of sidestepping latex allergy. The latex lane is elasticity-first dry work — oil is nitrile's home ground.
