You might be thinking "why are there so many options for disposable gloves? It's single-use hand protection."

It's true that Superior Glove has a lot of disposable glove options made from vinyl, latex, nitrile and polyethylene. On top of that, we have a variety of thicknesses from ultra-thin 3.5 mil gloves to thicker 15 mil options and several colors. As a manufacturer and supplier of disposable gloves, we want to highlight key differences of disposable gloves as well as best options for your application.

What are Disposable Gloves Used For?

Disposable gloves are used for medical procedures, food handling, dental examinations, and industrial and light chemical contact. Essentially, disposable gloves help prevent cross-contamination in each of these industries. They are designed to be used once and thrown away.

Latex Vs. Nitrile Vs. Vinyl Disposable Gloves

When deciding between latex, nitrile and vinyl gloves it can be confusing to decide which is the ideal choice. Here's the pros and cons of each material.

Latex Disposable Gloves:

Latex disposable gloves used to be the most popular choice of protective glove for medical and industrial use. However, because latex is a natural material it can be difficult to procure. On top of that, allergies to latex have been on the rise in recent years. Latex disposable gloves have excellent tear resistance and mold to the hand very well. Latex also resists many chemicals and has a long shelf life.

Nitrile Disposable Gloves:

Nitrile disposable gloves are made in a lab, unlike latex, so production issues are not as much of a concern. Nitrile is now the most popular choice of medical and industrial protective gloves as an alternative to latex when allergic reaction is a concern. Nitrile gloves have the highest degree of puncture resistance and have a high level of touch sensitivity, resists numerous chemicals and has a long shelf life.

Vinyl Disposable Gloves:

Vinyl disposable gloves are predominantly worn in the food industry and other industries that don't require the high levels of protection required in medical or chemical applications. Vinyl gloves have a looser fit and are less expensive than latex or nitrile disposable gloves. However, they have a shorter lifespan and are far less durable.
