The Ammex Gloveworks GVW10PK vinyl glove is suitable for single use in tasks such as food service, painting, and janitorial work, and is made with 5mm thick clear PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for applications requiring high dexterity or sensitivity. The work glove is free of latex proteins for use by individuals who are sensitive or allergic to latex. The vinyl glove comes in one size and is free of powder that may act as an irritant or leave residue.
Disposable and limited-use gloves are used in medical, forensic, scientific, food service, and industrial applications. Disposable gloves are commonly made from flexible materials such as latex, nitrile, chloroprene, and vinyl. While most disposable gloves are designed for use on either hand, some can be purchased in hand-specific models. They are offered powdered or powder-free; silicone or silicone-free; chlorinated or non-chlorinated; coated or uncoated; with a standard- or extended-length cuff; sterile or non-sterile; and with textured or smooth fingers, fingertips, and palms. A gloves abrasion, cut, and puncture resistance are defined by glove material and thickness, and may be improved with the use of exterior coatings. Abrasion resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from contact with rough surfaces. Cut resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from blades and sharp instruments. Puncture resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from objects such as needles. Chemical resistance means the glove helps protect the hand from certain chemicals, and varies by glove material.
