Vinyl Gloves

What are vinyl gloves made of?

Vinyl gloves are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic. Some also contain additives, which make them more flexible and chemical resistant.

Are vinyl gloves suitable for people with latex allergies?

Yes, vinyl gloves are latex-free and are therefore suitable for people with latex allergies.

What are vinyl gloves good for?

Vinyl gloves are ideal for applications that require frequent glove changes. Food handling, preparation, and low-risk medical applications can benefit from the cost-effectiveness of vinyl. Many manufacturing facilities depend on these gloves for essential, low-cost protection.

Here are the main benefits:

Best value option
100% latex-free
Powdered, lightly powdered, and powder-free options are available
Ideal for short-term, light-duty tasks

Here are the main downsides:

Vinyl rubber does not naturally conform to your hands
Susceptible to punctures and abrasions
Not suitable for high-risk settings
Standard protective barrier

Nitrile and latex outperform vinyl in most settings, so ensure your gloves are used in low risk and you aren't exposed to anything especially hazardous.

How durable are vinyl gloves?

While vinyl gloves offer basic protection, they are generally less durable or puncture-resistant than latex or nitrile gloves. They are often used for short-duration tasks where high levels of durability and protection are not required.

Can vinyl gloves be used in medical settings?

Vinyl exam gloves can be used in some healthcare settings for non-sterile tasks, such as basic patient care or cleaning. However, they are not recommended for tasks with a high risk of exposure to pathogens or chemicals.

Can vinyl gloves protect against chemicals?

Vinyl gloves provide some basic resistance to a few select chemicals. However, they are not as chemically resistant as nitrile gloves. It is important to check the glove's chemical resistance against the specific substances you will be handling for chemical tasks.

Do vinyl gloves come in different sizes?

Yes, vinyl gloves typically come in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. Some manufacturers may also offer extra small or extra-extra large sizes.

Can vinyl gloves be washed and reused?

Vinyl gloves are designed for single use and should be discarded after use or if damaged or contaminated. They are not intended to be washed or cleaned and reused, which could degrade the material and reduce its effectiveness.
