What characterizes vinyl disposable gloves?
Vinyl is the abbreviated name for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and is a solid plastic in its original form. Plasticizers (phthalates) are usually used to form this plastic. These plasticizers make the vinyl stretchy, soft and pliable. At the same time, there is a risk that these substances will be dissolved out of the glove, e.g. when it comes into contact with oil or grease. To avoid contamination, vinyl gloves are therefore only suitable for working with non-greasy and non-oily foods.
In addition to the great price advantage, vinyl gloves are completely latex-free. Similar to nitrile gloves, vinyl disposable gloves are very compatible and therefore a good alternative for latex allergy sufferers. Another advantage is that vinyl is very robust and resistant to biological hazards. Therefore, vinyl gloves offer good protection against germs, infections and contamination.
