Unigloves Magenta Pearl Nitrile Gloves, Magenta, Powder-free, Size M, GP8503

Gloves that fit loosely to varying degrees depending on size take time to adjust and hinder dexterity. With the Unigloves Magenta Pearl nitrile gloves, it is striking that the manufacturer specifies the same tight manufacturing tolerance of just ± 3 mm for each of the five sizes, which is tighter than for most other colours in the Pearl range, where tolerances range from ± 5 mm to ± 10 mm depending on the size. These powder-free, latex-free gloves, made from fully dipped nitrile, come in a vibrant magenta, with textured fingertips for a secure grip and a rolled cuff that makes them easier to slip on. They are sold in a box of 1,000, divided into 10 boxes of 100 each, in five sizes from XS to XL.

Latex-free, thiuram-free and protein-free

As gloves made entirely from nitrile, the Magenta Pearl are completely latex-free and, according to the manufacturer, are also thiuram-free and protein-free. This makes them a suitable choice for staff who need to take into account allergies to natural latex or sensitisation to vulcanisation accelerators (thiurams). According to the data sheet, the palm has a thickness of 0.07 ± 0.02 mm, measured as a single layer in the centre of the palm; the data sheet does not provide separate figures for the fingertips and cuff. The median tear strength is at least 6.0 N both before and after artificial ageing.

Tight manufacturing tolerances: consistent fit across all sizes

A glance at the size chart in the data sheet reveals a distinctive feature: Whilst other Pearl colours vary in width tolerance between ± 5 mm and ± 10 mm depending on the size, Magenta Pearl remains constant at ± 3 mm across all five sizes, ranging from 76 ± 3 mm for XS to 113 ± 3 mm for XL. In practice, this means a more consistent fit within each size, regardless of which size is chosen. This is particularly relevant for activities that require a consistently high level of dexterity, such as in the cosmetics industry or for intricate tattoo and piercing work, where a fit that is too loose or too tight can noticeably impair precision.

Chemical protection in accordance with EN 374, Category III, Type C

Magenta Pearl is certified as a chemical-protective glove in accordance with EN ISO 374-1, Category III, Type C. A permeation level of 6 was determined for 40 per cent sodium hydroxide solution in accordance with EN 374-4, with a degradation rate of minus 5.3 per cent. For other chemicals, the manufacturer’s product-specific chemical resistance table applies, as only this one test chemical is listed with numerical values in the data sheet.

Certified to EN 455 and PPE Category III

Magenta Pearl complies with EN 455 (Parts 1 to 4) for single-use medical gloves and is manufactured under a quality management system certified to DIN EN ISO 13485:2021. The type examination was carried out in accordance with Module B and Module C2 of the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 by the notified body CCQS (No. 2834); this combination of modules is intended exclusively for the highest PPE Category III. An AQL value of 1.5 applies in the 1,000 ml water-tightness test; furthermore, the glove is food-safe.

Choosing the right size

The manufacturer assigns a numerical glove size to each Magenta Pearl ready-to-wear size, ranging from 5 to 6 for XS to 9 to 10 for XL, as confirmed directly in the product’s own data sheet.

Magenta in the twelve-piece Pearl range

Magenta Pearl is one of twelve colours in the Unigloves Pearl range available from us. Within the range’s warm colour palette, Magenta stands out clearly from the lighter Pink Pearl and the bright red Red Pearl, meaning that all three can be easily distinguished even when used side by side in the same workplace. If you’re looking for a dark contrasting colour, look no further than Black Pearl. All colours share the same basic construction of fully dipped nitrile with textured fingertips and a rolled hem; the particularly tight width tolerance of ± 3 mm across all sizes is, according to the verified data sheets, a characteristic documented for Magenta Pearl.

Use, storage and disposal

The data sheet provides no information on storage conditions or shelf life; therefore, no figures are given here either. Regarding handling, the manufacturer states that this is a non-sterile, single-use glove that can be worn on either hand.

As a practical guideline based on everyday working practice, rather than a manufacturer’s specification: nitrile gloves such as Magenta Pearl are usually changed per customer, task or process step, but at the latest at the first visible sign of damage, soiling or contact with chemicals outside the tested application. After use, they are generally disposed of as operational waste, whilst contaminated gloves are disposed of separately in accordance with internal hazardous substances regulations.

Typical applications

The bold colour and consistent fit make Magenta Pearl particularly suitable for tasks that combine visible precision with a clear brand impact:

• Cosmetics and beauty salons with high standards regarding fit and dexterity
• Tattoo and piercing studios, where the colour serves not only as protection but also creates a visible, distinctive brand identity
• Food processing, thanks to food-grade certification
• Businesses using multiple Unigloves Pearl colours, where Magenta is specifically used for colour-coding individual workstations or teams

In studios with direct customer contact, the consistent fit across all sizes also ensures that every member of staff has the same grip experience, regardless of their own glove size.

Assessing requirements correctly: from the carton to the customer appointment

The box of 1,000 gloves is divided into 10 boxes of 100 each, so that individual boxes can be made available at different workstations independently of one another. In a beauty or tattoo studio, assuming 2 pairs of gloves per client appointment, a box of 100 pieces, i.e. 50 pairs, covers around 25 appointments, whilst a whole carton covers 250 appointments. If consumption is higher, at 4 pairs per appointment, one box is sufficient for around 12 to 13 appointments and a whole carton for around 125 appointments. Sales are exclusively by the whole carton; a single box of 100 cannot be selected separately during the ordering process.

Frequently asked questions about the 1,000-piece carton

What does the tight width tolerance of ± 3 mm mean in practice?
It ensures a more consistent fit within each size. Other Pearl colours vary between ± 5 mm and ± 10 mm depending on size, whilst Magenta Pearl remains consistently at ± 3 mm across all five sizes.

Is Magenta Pearl latex-free and suitable for people with allergies?
Yes. The glove is made entirely of nitrile and, according to the manufacturer, is latex-free, thiuram-free and protein-free.

How resistant is the glove to chemicals?
The data sheet lists a test chemical with numerical values: 40 per cent caustic soda with a permeation level of 6 and a degradation rate of minus 5.3 per cent. The data sheet does not specify a breakthrough time in minutes, only the permeation level.

How does Magenta differ from Pink and Red Pearl?
All three are distinct colours with their own data sheets. Magenta is a colour that lies between the lighter Pink and the bright red Red; technically, the main differences between the colours lie in the material thickness and width tolerance.

How do I find the right size?
Either by the numerical glove size (XS 5-6 to XL 9-10) or by the width in millimetres; see the size chart above.

Can I order quantities smaller than a 1,000-piece carton?
No, the sales unit is the carton of 1,000 pieces, divided into 10 boxes of 100 pieces each.
