View gloves by IndustryGloves
We offer several types of gloves commonly used for hand protection in various industries and settings:
-
Nitrile gloves: are a type of disposable glove made from synthetic rubber called nitrile. They are commonly used in medical settings, laboratories, and industries where protection against chemicals and fluids is necessary. Nitrile gloves offer excellent puncture and chemical resistance, as well as a comfortable and snug fit.
-
Vinyl gloves: are a type of disposable glove made from synthetic PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material. They are a popular choice for general-purpose applications, such as food handling and cleaning, as well as for some medical procedures. Vinyl gloves are typically less expensive than nitrile or latex gloves and offer good durability and resistance to mild chemicals.
-
Latex gloves: are a type of disposable gloves made from natural rubber latex derived from the Hevea brasiliensis tree. They are commonly used in medical settings, laboratories, and other industries where protection against bloodborne pathogens and other infectious materials is necessary. Latex gloves offer excellent tactile sensitivity and fit, as well as high durability and tear-resistance.
-
Poly gloves: also known as polyethylene gloves, are a type of disposable glove made from polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer. They are a cost-effective option for basic hand protection in food handling, cleaning, and light-duty tasks that require frequent glove changes. Poly gloves offer a loose fit and are not as durable or resistant to tearing as other types of gloves such as nitrile or latex.
Each type of glove has its own unique features and benefits, as well as potential drawbacks. It is important to consider the specific needs of the task or industry when choosing the appropriate type of glove. It is also important to select gloves that fit properly to ensure maximum protection and comfort.
