For a full performance breakdown, sizing analysis, and comparison against alternatives, see our GLOVEWORKS HD Green Nitrile Industrial Gloves (8 mil) in-depth review published by the WC Safety editorial team.
GLOVEWORKS HD Green runs the same 8 mil diamond-texture specification as the GLOVEWORKS HD Black and Orange lines in a distinctive green colorway—useful for facilities that use color-coded glove protocols to separate task types or departments. At 40 per box, the HD line's extended wear life per pair offsets the lower box count compared to 100-count standard-weight alternatives.
Industrial plants with color-coded PPE programs that assign green to specific departments or task categories, construction and maintenance environments where hi-vis hand identification is valuable, and heavy-duty applications (parts cleaning, hydraulic service, heavy fabrication support tasks) where 8 mil is the right gauge specification.

Compatibility and Application
8 mil provides the highest puncture resistance in the GLOVEWORKS line. For oily-grip with full-hand texture rather than palm-only diamond, see the SAS Astro Grip 7 mil. For 9.5 mil with EN 388 certification, see the Ansell 93-256. For a broader selection, browse the complete nitrile gloves collection at WC Safety, organized by thickness, brand, and intended use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- 8 mil diamond-texture nitrile delivers maximum puncture resistance in the GLOVEWORKS standard product line
- Green color coding for facilities using multi-color glove protocols by department or task category
- AMMEX manufacturing consistency with predictable batch-to-batch quality for industrial procurement
- Extended wear life per pair at 8 mil partially offsets the lower 40/box count versus 100-count options
Cons
- 40 per box at HD pricing—higher per-pair cost than 100-count standard industrial options
- 8 mil reduces dexterity versus 5–6 mil options for tasks requiring precise hand movement

Frequently Asked Questions
Why green instead of black for heavy industrial work?
Green enables color-coded glove protocols in facilities where different departments, task types, or risk levels use different colored gloves. Black and green HD lines are identical in specification—choose by color-coding requirement.
Is the GLOVEWORKS HD Green available in a case of 10 boxes?
Yes. Cases are available through Amazon. Check the Amazon listing for current case quantities and bulk pricing.
What sizes does the HD Green come in?
S, M, L, XL, and 2XL in most size runs. Confirm availability at the time of order.
How many pairs in a 40-count box?
20 pairs. Ambidextrous design.
Do 8 mil HD gloves last noticeably longer than 5 mil standard?
Yes. In direct comparison on heavy industrial tasks (parts cleaning, component handling, greasy mechanical work), 8 mil gloves typically complete the full task without failure where 5 mil gloves may need replacement mid-task.
Can I use GLOVEWORKS HD Green for painting or coating work?
For brush-applied latex or water-based coatings—yes. For solvent-based paints and automotive refinishing products, verify chemical compatibility—nitrile resists many common paint solvents but not all.
Is the green color coded to any regulatory standard?
No. Green is not universally assigned in regulatory glove color standards. The assignment is made internally by the facility using a color-coded protocol.
Are these gloves available through industrial supply distributors?
The WC Safety listing is through Amazon. Amazon purchasing links to WC Safety.
Can these replace cut-resistant gloves for light assembly?
No. 8 mil nitrile provides puncture resistance but zero cut resistance. For tasks with cut hazards, use a cut-resistant glove rated to EN 388 Cut Level or ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level.
What is the diamond texture coverage area?
The diamond texture covers the palm and inner finger surfaces. The back of the hand is smooth.
What is the shelf life of GLOVEWORKS HD Green?
Three to five years in cool, dry storage.
Does the green color make it harder to spot contamination?
In some cases—dark contamination (oil, grease, dark chemicals) may be less visible on green than on lighter colors. For applications where contamination visibility is critical, consider a lighter-colored glove.
