Gloves and PPE

PPE gloves (Personal Protective Equipment gloves) are an essential part of protective gear used to reduce the risk of contamination and ensure safety in environments where exposure to hazardous materials, bacteria, or chemicals is a concern. They are widely used in healthcare settings, industrial workplaces, laboratories, food service, and other industries.
Types of PPE Gloves
Nitrile Gloves:
Best for: Protection against chemicals, oils, solvents, and sharp objects. They’re durable, puncture-resistant, and hypoallergenic, making them a popular choice in healthcare, laboratories, and industrial settings.
Advantages: Chemical resistance, puncture-resistant, non-latex, and less likely to cause allergic reactions.
Latex Gloves:
Best for: Medical, dental, and general purpose use. Latex gloves offer great elasticity and a snug fit, which provides dexterity and comfort for tasks like medical examinations or cleaning.
Advantages: Comfortable, excellent fit, and sensitive to touch.
Considerations: Can cause allergic reactions in some individuals due to the proteins in latex.
Vinyl Gloves:
Best for: Short-term, low-risk tasks, such as food preparation or general cleaning.
Advantages: Cost-effective and latex-free.
Considerations: Less durable and more prone to punctures compared to nitrile or latex.
