Disposable Gloves Information

Our disposable gloves are unsupported latex; vinyl and nitrile dipped gloves. These 5-mil gloves feel like a “second skin” while offering the wearer moderate protection from mild chemicals. Our polyethylene gloves are hot seamed flat. All are manufactured from materials to comply with FDA requirements for food contact.

Features and Benefits

·        Disposable gloves are very cost effective.

·       Most disposables available in “medical grade” and lower end industrial grade. A “medical

   grade” glove offers greater resistance to permeation by liquids.

·        Disposables provide good protection against dirt and mild chemicals.

·        Recommended for short-term use.

·       Can be used on either hand (ambidextrous).

·       Can be dispensed economically throughout a plant.

·       Nitrile (synthetic latex) is the strongest and most chemically resistant single-use glove material.

   gloves are not sterile and are not intended for surgical applications.

Common Objections and Suggested Responses

“Latex gloves make my hand break out.”

Recommend a Powder Free Latex, as the natural proteins in Latex stick to the powder and can cause hand irritation. Switching to powder free often helps. Another alternative is to switch to Nitrile, Vinyl or Non-Latex Synthetic gloves.

“ Bits of clear vinyl glove can fall off hand into product and is difficult to find.” Recommend a switch to Blue Vinyl.
