Vinyl gloves are latex free and our most popular general purpose glove. Vinyl gloves are stronger than polyethylene gloves, and offer greater comfort for jobs like food preparation, bussing and cleaning, where gloves will be worn for longer periods. Vinyl gloves are also significantly less expensive than nitrile and latex gloves.
According to the FDA, Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in hundreds of products, such as toys, vinyl flooring and wall covering, detergents, lubricating oils, food packaging, pharmaceuticals, blood bags and tubing, and personal care products, such as nail polish, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, soaps, shampoos, perfumes and other fragrance preparations.
Powder Free gloves go through an extra process of chlorinating the gloves, making it easier to take the gloves on or off. Powdered gloves are produced with a food grade corn starch powder, making it easier to take them on or off – especially with wet hands.
