Difference Between Vinyl Gloves and Nitrile Disposable Gloves?
Difference Between Vinyl Gloves and Nitrile Disposable Gloves?
Nitrile gloves are much more resistant than Vinyl gloves, but more expensive.
The biggest differences are in elasticity and mechanical resistance: for this reason vinyl gloves are less sensitive and break more easily, even with a simple finger press.
Even the glove’s porosity is less controllable during production, thus reducing the protection against nitrile gloves when in contact with body fluids and / or chemicals.
Vinyl having no “accelerators” (present in nitrile production compounds) has less chance of causing IV type hypersensitivity reactions or contact allergies.
