Vinyl gloves
Vinyl gloves have two distinct advantages: they are cheap and have good skin compatibility. Compared to other disposable gloves, they have a looser fit. Vinyl stands for the shortened name of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The material is latex-free, smooth and has a pleasantly soft surface.

Vinyl disposable gloves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC for short). PVC is a solid plastic that must first be softened before it can be processed into gloves. So-called plasticizers (phthalates) are used for this purpose. Without them it does not work. Vinyl gloves from Franz Mensch, however, are deliberately free of harmful types of plasticizers such as DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and DEHP (diethylhexyl phthalate).
Vinyl gloves for food?
Yes, but not with oil and grease. The plasticizers they contain are the reason why vinyl gloves are only approved for contact with non-oily and non-greasy foods. Fats could dissolve the plasticizers and contaminate the food. Therefore, vinyl gloves are recommended for food contact only with non-greasy foods. For working with cheese, meat, sausage, fish, etc., it is better to use disposable latex or nitrile gloves.
Applications for vinyl gloves
Vinyl gloves, thanks to their low price, are ideal if you consume large quantities of gloves. Cheap vinyl gloves are easy on your budget if the gloves are changed frequently or worn only briefly.
They are a very good choice in the following areas of activity:
- Patient care and medical areas: The soft surface also makes the vinyl examination gloves comfortable for patients during skin contact.
- 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 a high emphasis on stretchability, fit and durability.
