Generally speaking, latex gloves offer the best protection against bacteria and viruses, while synthetic gloves provide better chemical protection like vinyl and nitrile. Among different types of latex-free gloves, nitrile gloves offer a higher degree of protection against viruses, besides the chemical protection it provides.
Here let us do a short comparison.
Item | Description | Advantage | Disadvantage | Protection |
Latex | Made of pure nature rubber | Best elasticity,Flexible, fit the hand well and good sensitivity, price reasonable | A small part of people allergic to it | Bacteria and Viruses |
Vinyl | Made of synthetic material | Durable, Stretchy, nice price and cost-efficient | Elasticity not so good comparing with Latex | Chemical |
Nitrile | Made of synthetic material | Comfortable, good sensitivity, fit the hand well, Durable, High Puncture resistance | Higher price | Chemical, Viruses |
Nitrile is considered the material of choice for handling foods in a safe, contaminate-free and additive-free manner. EN Standard certified nitrile is used for its cleanliness and strength in food processing machinery, similarly it is the safest and strongest material for food handling gloves
Nitrile gloves have a very good puncture resistance, depending on the application or industry a nitrile glove is designed for the manufacture will change curtain specifications of the glove to be thick, stronger, longer.
Vinyl Gloves, which are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), are usually the cheapest latex-free gloves and are manufactured in a way to enable stretch and versatility while they are also able to hold up against punctures, stretch and general wear and tear. They can be used for healthcare tasks, keeping hands safe from contamination.
Moreover, most gloves are made of latex, a component of natural rubber. Particles of latex can cause allergic reactions not only among people wearing the gloves but also among customers eating food prepared by them. As a result, some markets have banned latex gloves in restaurants.
