What are Non-Latex Gloves?


We all know Latex Gloves.But what are Non-latex gloves?


Non-latex gloves are disposable gloves made with materials free of natural latex rubber.Natural latex is widely used for disposable gloves, not only due to it's reasonable cost and extremely flexible,but also making the gloves comfortable to wear.While latex gloves may cause allergic to some people due to natural latex rubber protein,then people develop alternatives to latex gloves--Non-Latex Gloves.


Several synthetic materials can be used to make Non-Latex gloves,including neoprene, poly vinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl), and nitrile.Comparing with latex gloves, they are less stretchy tensile.Early non-latex gloves were often a little hard to use, and difficult to don, but many companies have resolved this issue,making gloves which are easy to put on and use.

Besides, they tend to be more expensive than latex gloves, such as nitrile gloves.


Non-latex gloves come in a range of colors, textures, and sizes. 

Many companies try to use very distinctive colors for their gloves so that it is easy to identify the latex-free gloves in a hurry, and latex-free gloves may also be stored in a different location to ensure that they are not confused with latex gloves.


If a health care worker is allergic to latex, he or she would use non-latex gloves, and they would also be used on patients with a declared latex allergy.For medical purpose,the recommended Non-latex gloves areNitrile Gloves;for general purpose,we would recommend Vinyl Gloves.If the cost factor comes first,PE Gloves are highly recommended.

What You Should Know About Disposable Gloves

While disposable gloves are often used in a medical or industrial setting, they also have many uses around the home and workplace that don't involve touching a patient in an exam room or a specimen in a lab. In order to see which gloves performed the best, we put them through a series of experiments.   •  Durability  —We took a box cutter to each glove, and determined its durability by rating how easy it was to slice through the glove material. •  Resistance to tearing  —One the glove had a slice in it, we added weights that hung from the torn glove to see how much weight it would take for the glove to be torn apart when it was already damaged. •  Temperature resistance  —After setting the water temperature to "uncomfortably hot", we stuck our glove-covered hands under the water to see how long it took for us to actually feel the burn. •  Chemical resistance  —With most disposable gloves, if you get some sort of chemical (like a heavy-duty cleaning agent) on them, after a

The Best Guide to Textured Gloves

    The inner surface of your gloves needs to be smooth and comfortable. Have you ever thought about the glove’s outer surface? Textured gloves happen to have a rough outer surface. What are textured gloves? Have you ever examined the outer surface of a glove and noticed indentations? I am sure you have. These are what we call textured gloves.  Unlike regular gloves, they have patterns on their outer surface. These patterns can be straight lines, sand-like exteriors, dots, or geometrical shapes. Thus, you will find that there are 3 types of gloves: smooth, micro-roughened, and aggressively textured. So, let’s differentiate between the three types. Micro-roughened gloves This type of texture is most common in manufacturing latex and nitrile gloves. Micro-roughened nitrile gloves constitute 95% of manufactured nitrile gloves. These gloves will look as if they have tiny sand particles on their outer surface.  Thus, this provides a moderate option between smooth gloves and aggressively tex
