Ansell Microflex 93-256 Mega Texture Nitrile Gloves — Orange, Full-Texture Grip, Box of 100

Ansell Microflex 93-256 mega texture nitrile gloves explained

The Ansell Microflex 93-256 is a hi-visibility orange glove built around one defining feature: as mega texture nitrile gloves go, this is the reference — a full raised pyramid texture across the whole glove that grips in wet, oily, and dry conditions alike. It is latex-free, powder-free, food-safe, and extra durable, with a dual thickness of 5.1 mil at the palm and 6.3 mil at the fingers.

As grip nitrile gloves the mega texture is the whole point; as textured orange nitrile gloves they stand out on the bench; the hi-vis build makes them high visibility nitrile gloves; and the microflex nitrile gloves name carries Ansell's pedigree.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What these gloves are for

Hands-on work where grip on slippery tools and parts matters — automotive and plumbing, painting, food handling, and general maintenance — plus the visibility of hi-vis orange. They are ranked in our orange nitrile gloves guide, our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide, and our heavy-duty nitrile gloves guide. The material background is in our nitrile gloves complete guide and nitrile vs latex gloves.

Compatibility

The mega texture and durable formula handle grease, oils, and incidental chemical contact; for sustained immersion in aggressive chemicals, step up to a dedicated chemical-resistant glove such as Ansell's own TouchNTuff 93-800. For food work, see our nitrile gloves for food service guide.

How the 93-256 compares

Within Ansell, the TouchNTuff 93-800 is the chemical specialist and the Microflex SU-690 is the durable violet exam glove; the 93-256 is the grip specialist. Against other heavy orange gloves, the Venom Steel 8 mil and GLOVEWORKS HD Orange are thicker single-layer diamond-grip options, and the SAS Astro-Grip is a 7 mil dual-sided-grip rival. Browse the full nitrile gloves collection and the wider hand protection range organized by texture, thickness, and use.

Safety note: nitrile is latex-free, so the 93-256 suits workers with a latex allergy — but a disposable glove reduces, and does not eliminate, chemical exposure risk. This is a grip-and-durability glove, not a chemical-immersion glove; confirm compatibility with your specific chemicals, replace gloves showing tears or punctures immediately, and use a chemical-resistant glove where the task demands more.

Ordering FAQ

Where do I buy the Ansell 93-256, and is it available?

Availability changes — open the linked listing for live price, size options, and delivery speed before you order.

What is mega texture?

It is Ansell's full-hand texture — a raised pyramid grip pattern across the whole glove, not just the fingertips. It bites into tools and parts for a secure hold in wet, oily, or dry conditions, which is the glove's defining feature.

How thick are they?

Dual thickness: 5.1 mil at the palm and 6.3 mil at the fingers. That is on the thinner side for an industrial glove, but the formulation is extra durable, so reviewers describe them as thin and strong rather than bulky.

Are they latex-free and powder-free?

Yes — latex-free and powder-free, so there is no natural-latex protein and no powder residue.

Are they food-safe?

Yes — Ansell lists them as suitable for food-handling applications as well as general-purpose work. See our nitrile gloves for food service guide.

Why the hi-visibility orange?

The bright orange adds jobsite visibility and makes it easy to spot grime, oil, or small parts against the glove during detail work.

Are they good for automotive and plumbing work?

Yes — reviewers who are plumbers, property managers, and DIY mechanics use them daily, praising the grip and how they resist tearing on the job better than thicker gloves that split when donning.

How are the sizes labeled?

By number: 7 (Small), 8 (Medium), 9 (Large), 10 (X-Large), and 11 (2X-Large). Measure your palm circumference and pick the matching number — see the manufacturer's size guide on the listing.

Are they chemical resistant?

They handle incidental contact with the chemicals standard nitrile handles, but this is a grip-and-durability glove, not a chemical-immersion glove — use a chemical-resistant glove for prolonged exposure.

Can I reuse them?

They are single-use gloves from the nitrile gloves range, but the durable formulation lets reviewers reuse a pair across a job. For food, medical, or contamination-control work, use them once.

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 from the hand protection range takes seconds.
