Not all disposable gloves are called latex gloves! Because there is more than one kind of disposable gloves, there are other varieties such as PVC gloves and nitrile gloves.
Differences in raw materials
Natural latex gloves are also called rubber gloves, natural latex is a purely natural material derived from the sap of natural rubber trees, nitrile rubber is an artificial rubber, mainly made of acrylonitrile and butadiene, PVC gloves are PVC-based gloves, made according to a unique production process.
Categorization difference
Latex gloves are classified by type specification into powder general purpose and powder-free purification treatment type, glossy surface and linen surface non-slip. Nitrile gloves model specifications are divided into palm hemp surface non-slip and hand tip hemp surface non-slip, overall hemp surface non-slip, generally powder-free. PVC gloves glossy design, transparent and powder-free.
Biodegradability
Latex gloves and nitrile gloves can be degraded, in the soil layer will gradually degrade into carbon dioxide, water and other substances, directly into the soil fertilizer or digested and absorbed by green plants, into the crop nutrients, without polluting the environment.
Anti-allergy
Latex gloves contain protein and are not suitable for allergic groups. Nitrile gloves do not have protein and are rarely used for skin allergies. PVC gloves have no allergens and are suitable for all groups.
Puncture resistance
Latex gloves are a little less ductile and abrasion resistant than nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves are three to five times more puncture resistant than natural latex, providing a barrier to protect hands for those who have to use sharp tools. Far less than latex and nitrile gloves.
