| Disposable PE Gloves | Cleaning, food prep, light hygiene tasks | - Material: Polyethylene (EC 1935/2004 certified) - Thickness: 0.08mm (lightweight) - Disposable (single-use) | ▲ Lightweight (reduces hand fatigue) Cost-effective (ideal for high-volume use) Food-safe compliance (EC 1935/2004) | Limited durability (susceptible to punctures) Limited chemical resistance (not ASTM F739 compliant) |
| Nitrile Disposable Gloves | Medical, industrial, chemical handling | - Material: Nitrile rubber (ASTM D6988 compliant) - Thickness: 0.12mm (▲ 50% thicker than PE) - Chemical Resistance: Resists oils/chemicals (ASTM F739) | ▲ Superior chemical resistance (▲ vs PE) High puncture resistance Latex-free (allergy-friendly) | Bulky (reduces dexterity) Higher cost (▲ 30% pricier than PE) |
| Latex Disposable Gloves | Healthcare, food service | - Material: Natural latex (ASTM D3578) - Thickness: 0.1mm (▲ 25% thicker than PE) - Stretchability: 300% elongation | ▲ Superior flexibility (ideal for precise tasks) Cost-effective (▲ 10% cheaper than nitrile) | Risk of latex allergies (10-15% population) Less chemical resistance (not ASTM F739 compliant) |
| Vinyl Disposable Gloves | Short-term tasks, light-duty cleaning | - Material: PVC (ASTM D4541) - Thickness: 0.05mm (▲ 38% thinner than PE) - Disposal: Non-compostable | ▲ Cheapest option (▲ 50% lower cost than nitrile) Soft and lightweight | Low durability (tears easily) No chemical resistance (not ASTM F739 compliant) |
| Reusable Cloth Gloves | Heavy-duty cleaning, industrial work | - Material: Cotton/polyester blend (EN 388 certified) - Thickness: 3mm (▲ 3,625% thicker than PE) - Durability: 50+ wash cycles | ▲ Reusable (▲ reduces waste) High puncture resistance (EN 388 Level 3) Thermal insulation (▲ for cold environments) | Requires washing (time-consuming) Less dexterity (bulky fit) |
| Heavy-Duty Chemical-Resistant Gloves | Industrial chemicals, lab work | - Material: Neoprene/butyl rubber (OSHA 1910.138 compliant) - Thickness: 2mm (▲ 2,400% thicker than PE) - Chemical Resistance: ASTM F739 (30+ min exposure) | ▲ Extreme chemical resistance (▲ vs all categories) Heat-resistant (▲ up to 120°C) | Bulky (reduces fine motor control) Most expensive option (▲ 4x cost of PE) |
