Description
Since the global spread of COVID-19, vinyl gloves have gained significant attention due to their versatility and affordability. With reduced availability and higher costs of nitrile and latex gloves, vinyl has become a go-to choice.
Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl is a synthetic material that is less elastic than nitrile or latex, offering a looser fit and smooth, comfortable feel. It is also a great alternative for those allergic to latex proteins. While vinyl has the lowest puncture resistance among glove materials, it provides reliable barrier protection against most cleaning solutions and common chemicals.
Vinyl gloves are a cost-effective option for tasks that require frequent glove changes. They are widely used in restaurants, grocery stores, cafeterias, catering, food processing, janitorial services, painting, light plumbing, and beauty & salon applications. However, they are not recommended for use with petroleum-based chemicals.
