The glove market is chaotic, and the quality and price are mixed. As a glove manufacturer, let’s talk about some characteristics and prices of commonly used disposable gloves. When buying gloves, you must ask the AQL quality requirements (AQL2 represents 2 out of 100 gloves). Taste)

Latex gloves

Most people are familiar with latex gloves, the most traditional type of gloves.

characteristic:

Made of natural latex, the most comfortable fit, comfortable, non-slip

Good puncture resistance

very elastic

Mainly used in the medical industry, but now gradually replaced by nitrile gloves in the medical industry, because some people are allergic to the proteins in latex.

Heavy-duty latex gloves are often used for industrial use.

weight:

Regular is about 6 grams (S size)

shortcoming:

prone to allergies

price:

Commonly used latex gloves are 0.4-0.5 yuan / piece

Nitrile gloves

Nitrile gloves are copolymers of acrylonitrile and butadiene monomers.

characteristic:

Nitrile gloves are latex free and have a very low allergy rate (less than 1% of users)

Ideal for most medical environments, puncture resistant, suitable for extended wear

Has excellent chemical and puncture resistance

weight:

Regular is about 4.5 grams (M size)

shortcoming:

The price is too expensive, not suitable for ordinary replacement industries

price:

Commonly used nitrile gloves are 0.5-0.6 yuan / piece

Vinyl gloves (Vinyl/PVC) - not recommended

Made of polyvinyl chloride, there is no difference between powder and powder, and it has basically been eliminated.

characteristic:

Low manufacturing cost and puncture resistance than PE gloves

Commonly used in the food industry.

weight:

Regular is about 4.5 grams (M size)

price:

Commonly used PVC gloves are between 0.1-0.2 yuan/piece

shortcoming:

Dioxins and other carcinogens are released during the manufacture and disposal of PVC.

Due to the lack of elasticity, PVC gloves tend to tear during the production process, increasing the scrap rate and thus increasing waste.

50% of PVC glove raw material is made from plasticizers, usually containing inexpensive phthalates such as DiNP or DEHP, and possibly BPA. Phthalates have been shown to leach from products into the human body, causing adverse reproductive, neurobehavioral and respiratory consequences, and metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance. BPA is an endocrine disruptor that affects hormones and has been linked to reproductive disorders, heart disease and cancer.

Polyethylene Gloves (PE/CPE/TPE)

These gloves are very thin and loose. They are an inexpensive glove option and are often used to handle food in a short amount of time. There are a variety of PE glove types to choose from, varying in quality and durability.

PE: Made of polyethylene, subdivided into LDPE gloves and HDPE gloves

characteristic:

The cheapest disposable gloves are the lobster gloves that people often say

HDPE gloves have high hardness and poor tensile properties

LDPE gloves are relatively soft and have good stretch properties

Compared with LDPE gloves, HDPE is lighter and thinner, and the quality is not as good as that of LDPE.

weight:

HDPE gloves are generally around 1 gram

LDPE gloves are generally more than 1 gram

price:

HDPE gloves are around 0.016/piece

LDPE gloves are around 0.023/piece

CPE: Made of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and High Pressure Polyethylene (LDPE)

characteristic:

Diamond-shaped embossing on the surface, good anti-skid performance

Gloves are relatively soft and stretch well

Commonly used in food processing, hair salons and other industries

weight:

CPE gloves are generally around 1.6-1.9 grams

price:

CPE gloves are around 0.04/piece

TPE: It is made of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high pressure polyethylene (LDPE), thermoplastic elastomer (POE) and some accessories. meet more than 20%)

characteristic:

Stretchable and soft

Gradually replace PVC, nitrile and other gloves and are cheaper

Commonly used in cleaning, hospital care, food processing, hair salons and other industries

Excellent chemical resistance and latex free

weight:

TPE gloves are generally more than 2 grams (if the weight is light, it will be a problem)

price:

TPE gloves are around 0.06/piece
