Plastic Gloves

Plastic gloves are often disposable. They offer both comfort and protection to employees from many sectors. Plastic gloves, which provide a comfortable work from food preparation to home cleaning, are cheap and easy to replace. It becomes quite cost-effective, especially in bulk purchases. The most common materials used in the production of plastic gloves are polyethylene and vinyl.

Polyethylene gloves

Polyethylene is a plastic known to be durable and resistant to various liquids. It can also be used as PE for short. Polythene gloves are one of the most economical glove types. These gloves are used during low-risk applications that require frequent glove changes.

The gloves are designed with a loose structure for use in jobs that require easy donning and doffing. Gloves made of this plastic material can be safely used especially in catering lines, delicatessen counters and other food processing applications.

Vinyl Gloves

Vinyl gloves made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are also a type of plastic gloves. Vinyl gloves are very useful for short-term use. Vinyl gloves, which are a barrier against body fluids and low-density chemicals, can be easily used in health applications and food processing sector. Powder-free vinyl gloves do not cause any irritation on the skin. Like many plastic gloves, vinyl gloves are a cost-effective option.

Where Are Plastic Gloves Used?

Plastic gloves are designed in such a way that they do not fully grip the hand, making them easy to put on and take off. Plastic gloves are an excellent option for people working in doctor's offices, restaurants, tattoo parlours, beauty centres, as they often need to change gloves. Plastic gloves prevent cross-contamination and thus enable a healthy working environment.

In addition, workers in health centres and veterinary offices have to come into contact with bodily fluids such as blood and urine. Bacteria and viruses can therefore spread rapidly both among staff and between people and pets in the care of the facilities. Wearing and proper replacement of disposable plastic gloves is an effective solution to prevent the transmission of pathogens from one patient to another.
