Use of latex gloves

Usually, these gloves are used for laboratory, cooking and medical environments (in the field of examination). The advantage of these gloves is that it is possible to work accurately with them. Although these gloves may cause allergies for some people, they are the most widely used type of gloves due to their high strength and flexibility. These gloves allow the user to easily touch different objects.

Sensitization of latex gloves

In case of long-term contact with the skin, latex gloves can cause mild allergic effects such as itching, redness, peeling, burning and dry skin. The rarest type of allergy reported to latex gloves is immediate contact allergy, which can lead to a runny nose, red eyes, muscle cramps, hives, or severe itching.

Nitrile gloves

The second most commonly used type of gloves are nitrile gloves. These gloves are made of a synthetic material and have little sensitizing properties and are superior to latex gloves in terms of sensitivity. These gloves are more flexible and resistant than latex. Nitrile gloves are more resistant to chemicals.

Application of nitrile gloves

Nitrile gloves are more suitable for working with chemicals and oily materials due to their greater resistance. These gloves are also suitable for long-term work where there may be a risk of allergy.

Vinyl gloves

These gloves are made of plastic and have good resistance against chemicals such as acids, bases and alcohols. Vinyl is made of a material called PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). These gloves are not used in cases where there is a need for precision in touch, and they have a larger diameter than latex gloves. These gloves are not like latex and do not stick to the hand completely.
