Choosing the Right Disposable Gloves
A9: Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber and are known for their chemical resistance and durability. They are best used in medical settings, chemical handling, automotive work, and food service.
A10: Latex gloves are made from natural rubber and offer high flexibility and tactile sensitivity. They are commonly used in the medical field, especially for surgical procedures, cleaning tasks, and food preparation.
A11: Vinyl gloves are made from PVC and plasticisers, providing a looser fit. They are suitable for low-risk, short-term tasks like general cleaning and food service (non-fatty foods).
A12: Nitrile gloves offer high chemical resistance and durability. Latex gloves are known for flexibility and sensitivity but may cause allergies. Vinyl gloves are cost-effective for low-risk tasks but offer less protection and durability.
A13: Nitrile gloves provide the best chemical resistance, making them ideal for handling oils, greases, and certain chemicals.
A14: Latex gloves can cause allergic reactions in some people due to the proteins in natural rubber. If you or your users have latex allergies, consider using Nitrile or Vinyl gloves
A15: Vinyl gloves offer limited protection against chemicals and punctures and are best for non-hazardous, low-risk tasks.
A16: Nitrile gloves are the most durable, Latex gloves offer moderate durability, and Vinyl gloves are less durable and prone to tearing.
A17: Nitrile gloves are recommended for tasks involving sharp objects due to their superior puncture resistance.
A18: Nitrile and Vinyl gloves are latex-free and suitable for people with latex allergies, providing alternatives for various tasks without causing allergic reactions.
A20: Proper fit is crucial for comfort and safety. Ill-fitting gloves can hinder performance and reduce protection. Choose gloves based on hand measurements and the specific task requirements to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.
A21: Thicker gloves offer more protection but can reduce tactile sensitivity, making them less suitable for tasks requiring precision. Thinner gloves provide better sensitivity but less protection.
A22: For extended use, consider gloves with good breathability, comfort, and fit. Nitrile or Latex gloves are often preferred for their flexibility and durability in long-term wear.
A24: Glove colour can be important in certain industries. For example, blue gloves are often used in food safety to aid in compliance and safety protocols, making it easier to spot contamination.
