Vinyl disposable gloves have a wide range of uses, particularly for lower risk applications that do not require the level of chemical or mechanical protection offered by latex or nitrile gloves, as vinyl gloves typically represent a more cost effective solution. Thicker reusable vinyl gloves are also available which offer good resistance to certain chemicals in industrial settings.
Vinyl gloves are also a good alternative for users with latex allergies or sensitivities to accelerators in nitrile gloves.
