Latex |
|
|
Latex has very high elasticity and outstanding grip compared to other
glove materials, and withstands extreme temperature and tear resistance.
Chemically, it resists alcohols, and some ketones, but performs poorly
around most hydrocarbon and organic solvents (ie. gasoline). However,
because of allergy issues, it is not always an option for some workers. |

Nitrile |
|
|
Nitrile is a co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. The process to
make it is fairly simple, and very similar to that of rubber production.
However, it is one-hundred percent synthetic, and as such, is stronger,
does not cause allergic reaction and therefore has a wider range of
applications. It is the synthetic version of latex, and while it lacks
the inherent stretch and grip of natural rubber, it is nonetheless
prized for its incomparable strength. |

Polyurethane |
|
|
Our polyurethane, palm-coated gloves are an excellent choice for many environments. With its great stretch, strength, and softness, as
well as low particulate shed, it adds a whole other class of properties
to the palm-coated glove category. The non-allergenic properties of these gloves make it ideal for use with medical equipment. |

PVC |
|
|
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a synthetic thermoplastic polymer of vinyl
chloride, is a very inexpensive material, making it one of the more
common coatings for coated work gloves. It offers good abrasion
resistance, though it may be susceptible to punctures, cuts, and snags.
And while it is flexible, it does not provide the tactile sensitivity
associated with most rubber products. |
