Venom Steel Double Layer Nitrile Gloves — 6 Mil Black, 2-Layer Rip-Resistant, Box of 100

Venom Steel double layer nitrile gloves explained

Venom Steel Industrial gloves are the brand's signature double layer nitrile gloves — built from two layers of nitrile, a black outer layer over a white inner layer that reveals any breakthrough. That two-layer construction is what makes them rip, tear, and puncture resistant, and at 6 mil they run about 70% thicker than a common exam glove. They are fully textured, have a beaded cuff, and are latex-free, powder-free, and chemical resistant.

As 2 layer nitrile gloves they stand apart from single-layer gloves; the rip resistant nitrile gloves design is Venom's calling card; and among industrial nitrile gloves these black industrial nitrile gloves are a long-time shop favorite.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What these gloves are for

Tough hands-on work where a single-layer glove would tear — mechanic and automotive, painting, tattoo, gardening, and heavy household jobs — plus anywhere a visible breach indicator adds peace of mind. They are ranked in our heavy-duty nitrile gloves guide, our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide, and our best black nitrile gloves guide. The material background is in our nitrile gloves complete guide and nitrile vs latex gloves.

Compatibility

Good for incidental contact with grease, oil, fuels, and shop chemicals; for sustained immersion in aggressive chemicals, step up to a dedicated chemical-resistant glove and see our chemical-resistant nitrile gloves guide. The powder-free build is covered in our powdered vs. powder-free nitrile gloves guide.

How the Venom Industrial compares

Within Venom, this 6 mil two-layer black is the rip-resistant workhorse; the 8 mil orange is a thicker single-layer glove with a diamond cube grip, and the 6 mil industrial black is the closely related black option. Against other 6 mil black gloves, compare the general-purpose SAS Derma-Tuff and the exam-focused Inspire 6 mil; for the heaviest single-layer black, the GLOVEWORKS HD. Browse the full nitrile gloves collection and the wider hand protection range organized by construction, thickness, and use.

Safety note: nitrile is latex-free, so the Venom Industrial suits workers with a latex allergy — and while the two-layer build and white breach indicator add protection, a disposable glove still reduces rather than eliminates chemical exposure risk. The chemical resistance is for incidental contact, not prolonged immersion; confirm compatibility with your specific chemicals, change gloves when the inner layer shows or the glove tears, and use a chemical-resistant glove where the task demands more.

Ordering FAQ

Is Venom Steel Industrial in stock and ready to ship?
Availability changes — open the linked listing for live price, size and count options, and delivery speed before you order.

What does two-layer protection mean?
The glove is built from two nitrile layers — a black outer layer and a white inner layer. The two layers add rip, tear, and puncture resistance, and if the outer layer is breached the white inner layer shows through so you can spot the damage.

How thick are they?
6 mil, which Venom says is about 70% thicker than a common disposable exam glove. That is why they hold up to mechanic and shop work where thinner gloves tear.

Are they chemical resistant?
Venom rates them chemical resistant, and they protect against grease, oil, fuels, and grime for incidental contact. That is not an immersion rating — for prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals use a chemical-resistant glove.

Are they powder-free and latex-free?
Yes — powder-free and 100% nitrile with no natural rubber latex, so there is no powder residue and no natural-latex proteins.

Do they have a textured grip and cuff?
Yes — they are fully textured for grip on oily tools and parts, with a beaded cuff that resists roll-down and makes them easier to pull on.

Are they good for mechanic and automotive work?
Yes — that is their core market. Reviewers use them for engines, trucks, tractors, painting, and tattoo work, praising the durability and second-skin feel. See our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide.

What sizes are available?
Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large. Reviewers consistently note they run small, so if you are between sizes, order a size up.

Can I reuse them?
They are single-use gloves from the nitrile gloves range, but reviewers note the tough two-layer build lets them clean up mid-job and get more than one use on lighter tasks. For food, medical, or contamination-control work, use them once.

How do they differ from the Venom 8 mil orange gloves?
This 6 mil black glove is the two-layer rip-resistant design with a breach-indicating inner layer; the 8 mil orange Venom is a thicker single-layer glove with a diamond cube grip. Different constructions for different jobs.

How many are in a box?
100 gloves per box, with a 1000-count case option. They are ambidextrous, so any glove fits either hand.

How do I reorder for a shop?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked item stay constant, so restocking with the same box or case from the hand protection range takes seconds.
