Are all Gloves the Same?
Believe it or not there are so many types of gloves it would take an eternity to list. (Ok maybe not so long…but seriously, there are PLENTY).
Aside from those used in fashion or sports, gloves fall within two main categories:
Work Gloves and Disposable Gloves.
Work gloves are made of durable material such as cotton, leather and polyester. Disposables gloves are made of latex, vinyl or nitrile. They are intended for one-time use.
Some of the most common types of work gloves include: Leather Palm, Leather Drivers, Jerseys, String Knit, String-Knit with PVC Dots, Latex-Dipped and Nitrile-Dipped
When it comes to disposable gloves, I’ve noticed that many people newer to the glove world think all disposable gloves are “rubber gloves”, and can’t tell the difference.
As we’ll find out though, there are actually different kinds of disposable gloves and they are significantly different from each other.
But what exactly is the difference between latex, vinyl and nitrile gloves?
We’ll find out…
