PVC |
|
|
PVC offers good abrasion resistance, but may be susceptible to
punctures, cuts, and snags. While it is flexible, it does not provide
the tactile sensitivity associated with most rubber products. PVC starts
to soften at approximately 82°C (180°F). PVC is effective against water
and most aqueous solutions, detergents, and diluted bases and acids. It
only has limited chemical resistance to organic solvents. PVC is one of
the more common coatings for coated work gloves. |

Neoprene |
|
|
Neoprene has good abrasion and cut resistance, while resisting the
effects of aging, sunlight, ozone, oxidation and weather. Also flame
resistant, it demonstrates heat stability up to 93C (200F). |

Latex |
|
|
Natural rubber dispersed in water is known as latex. Natural rubber has a
very high elasticity compared to other glove materials, excellent cut
and tear resistance, and outstanding grip and temperature resistance. It
withstands water, alcohols, and some ketones, but has poor chemical
resistance against most hydrocarbon and organic solvents. It also can cause
allergic reactions in some people. |

Nitrile |
|
|
Nitrile rubber is a co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It offers
excellent physical-hazard resistance to punctures, cuts, snags and
abrasion. While it is not flame-resistant, it demonstrates functional
performance in temperatures ranging from -4° to 149°C (25° to 300°F).
Nitrile rubber has considerable resistance to oils, fuels, and certain
organic solvents. It is commonly used as a coating for dipped gloves and
also in the construction of laminated, impregnated cut-and-sewn gloves. |
