Latex, Nitrile and Vinyl Protective Gloves


Posted September 30, 2014 by astonpharma

Latex, Nitrile, Vinyl gloves… which to choose? The considerations that may make one type of glove better suited to one needs.

 
Managing director Andrew Aston of Aston Pharma discusses disposable gloves designed for a wide range of food handling, general duty and light industrial applications.
Aston Pharma disposable glove range includes latex, Nitrile and vinyl gloves. Andrew Aston says “the type of material that the gloves are made of is something to keep in mind.” Latex gloves are a natural material, made out of rubber. They are a popular choice of protective glove for medical or industrial use. The primary reason people would choose an alternative to latex is because many people suffer from latex allergies. When allergy is not a concern, latex does have a slight advantage with comfort and dexterity over nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves are made out of synthetic rubber, and are an ideal alternative when latex allergies are of concern. Nitrile gloves are the superior glove when it comes to puncture resistance. Nitrile gloves are often referred to as ‘medical grade’. Vinyl gloves are a popular choice for the food industry and situations where high levels of durability and protection are less of a priority. While they may be less durable, they are the less expensive option.
Andrew Aston discusses the benefits of using disposable gloves “Our disposable gloves provide excellent protection and peace of mind for those who need to minimise the spread of germs in their workplace. As well as protection our gloves gives assurance to wearers, enabling them to work without having to worry about potentially infectious germs being passed around. At Aston Pharma we are dedicated to providing the very best and the very latest in disposable gloves, we pride ourselves on stocking products which reflects the needs of the industry.”
So, when it comes time to decide which type of protective glove is the right choice for you, the most important thing to consider is how much protection you need?
