Disposable vinyl gloves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC for short). PVC is a solid plastic that first has to be softened before it can be processed into gloves. So-called plasticisers (phthalates) are used for this purpose. Without them it would not work. Vinyl gloves from Franz Mensch, however, are deliberately free of harmful types of plasticisers such as DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and DEHP (diethylhexyl phthalate).

Vinyl gloves for food?

Yes, but not with oil and fat. The plasticisers contained are the reason why vinyl gloves are only approved for contact with non-oily and non-greasy foods. Fats could dissolve the plasticisers and contaminate the food. Therefore, vinyl gloves in the food sector are only recommended for non-greasy foods. For working with cheese, meat, sausage, fish, etc., it is better to use disposable latex or nitrile gloves.

Areas of application for vinyl gloves

Vinyl gloves are ideal if you consume large quantities of gloves thanks to their low price. Cheap vinyl gloves are easy on your budget if the gloves are changed frequently or only worn for a short time.

They are a very good choice in the following areas of activity*:

• Patient care and medical areas: The soft surface makes vinyl examination gloves comfortable for patients even when in contact with the skin.
• Kitchen: Vinyl gloves support hygiene when preparing food
• Sorting work: Vinyl gloves are useful when sorting food, as long as the food is non-greasy and non-oily. They are hygienic and protect against moisture.

In short, vinyl gloves are recommended for anyone looking for a very inexpensive disposable glove for short periods of wear and who does not place great emphasis on stretch, fit and durability.
