Vinyl gloves

Vinyl gloves are a type of disposable glove made from synthetic PVC (polyvinyl chloride). They are lightweight, comfortable, and provide basic protection against dirt, dust, and low-risk substances. Vinyl gloves are often used in food handling, cleaning, and light medical tasks. They are an affordable option, though less durable and puncture-resistant than nitrile or latex gloves. Vinyl gloves are latex-free, making them suitable for individuals with latex allergies. They are ideal for non-hazardous environments where flexibility and cost-effectiveness are a priority.

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.
