We’ve seen an explosion in hygiene practices over the past few years, which has led to suppliers of disposable gloves struggling to keep up demand. As such, it can be tricky to find a reliable provider of gloves, particularly if you require large quantities. That’s why Bulk Buys is proud to bring you an extensive range of disposable gloves, ranging from domestic cleaning gloves, powder-free gloves, & nitrile gloves. All are available for order and fast delivery Australia-wide.
What Are The Different Types of Gloves?
Nitrile gloves are some of the most popular gloves available, particularly as an alternative to latex, to which some people have anaphylaxis. While their flexibility and elasticity are not as good as other types of gloves, they are more durable and protect wearers from harsh chemicals. As such, they are better for people who regularly come into contact with harsh or corrosive chemicals, such as cleaners. Their added puncture-resistance also makes them ideal for a medical environment, eliminating the risk of an allergic reaction.
Latex gloves have been around for decades, and are some of the most popular gloves in the world with a range of applications. High levels of flexibility and comfort make them popular in the domestic market, medical facilities, and catering businesses, but they pose an inherent risk to those with latex allergies.
Vinyl gloves are made from PVC, and due to their method of manufacture, they are quite cheap to make. This also makes them generally cheaper to buy as well. They can be less durable than Nitrile or Latex alternatives, but because of their low price, they are often purchased for non-hazardous environments, areas with low risk of infection, and domestic settings.
Powder Free Disposable Gloves
Powder-free gloves are made without the use of powder, which is often used to keep them dry. While there are instances where they can cause irritation to some people, this also means that the risk of cross contamination is reduced. As such, they are ideal for medical facilities and catering businesses, but do not spread as easily or glide as well as nitrile gloves, which makes them less popular in domestic settings.
