Venom Steel

Venom Steel is the industrial-channel disposable-glove brand from Medline Industries, the privately held US healthcare-and-PPE manufacturer headquartered in Northfield, Illinois. Medline is best known for medical-grade gloves and exam supplies; the Venom Steel sub-brand targets the automotive, construction, marine, plumbing, and general-trades market with thicker (6 mil and 8 mil) nitrile disposables designed for grease, oils, fuels, and rough mechanical work. The signature construction is a two-layer nitrile glove — a black outer layer over a white inner layer — so a tear or thin spot reveals the white layer underneath as a visible breakthrough indicator. The brand markets the line as "rip resistant," "chemical resistant," and "70% thicker than common disposable exam gloves." Technical data sheets and per-chemical EN 374 permeation breakthrough tables are not published on the Venom Steel consumer site or the manufacturer's Amazon listings; cert claims rely on Medline's brand reputation rather than independently verifiable test results.
