Vinyl gloves

The COVID-19 Vinyl gloves are a less costly option than nitrile and latex gloves, on a per-glove basis. These types of gloves are generally preferred in industries such as food processing, where durability and protection are less critical factors. However, they are not approved for use with fatty foods which makes their use somewhat questionable. Although vinyl gloves are latex-free, they provide less of a skin-tight fit, don’t offer protection against many common hazardous materials, and aren’t particularly puncture-resistant. As they need to be replaced much more regularly than other glove varieties, they can also become more costly in the long term.
