What are vinyl gloves?
Vinyl gloves are made of PVC and offer a practical solution for people who are allergic to latex. They are an ideal choice for everyday use, whether in the home or in professional environments such as the food industry or healthcare.
Advantages of vinyl gloves
Vinyl gloves are well tolerated by allergy sufferers and are generally very kind to the skin. Vinyl is a man-made plastic and consists on PVC and plasticizers. The vinyl gloves in our store are powder-free and therefore have a high wearing comfort.
The vinyl gloves have the following advantages:
- Very elastic - high wearing comfort
- Good tear and puncture resistance
- Protection against various acids and contamination with bacteria
- Breathable
- Good tactile sensitivity, as very thin vinyl
- Suitable for latex allergy sufferers, as latex-free
- Cheap option for disposable gloves
Versatile application: food, medicine & industrial sector
Vinyl gloves can be used in many areas as work protection. They are perfect for use in the food sector, industry as well as when handling chemicals. Vinyl gloves are food safe and therefore allow hygienic handling of food and prevent contamination with germs through the hands. Gloves made of vinyl can also be used in the medical field, for example, as examination gloves, because the gloves create a protective layer against the skin surface. The gloves in our store are very affordable and therefore practical for daily use in many different areas.
Possible areas of use in workplaces can be:
- Gastronomy
- Laboratory
- Nursing
- Hospitals
- Food manufacturing
- Tattoo parlor
- Beauty salons
- Quality control
- Warehouse work
In times of increased bacterial exposure, it may also be useful to wear the disposable gloves as an additional, reliable protection against infection. Especially when there is frequent contact with people, such as at a cash register or reception desk, vinyl gloves are perfect for ensuring safety while still allowing the necessary sensitivity with a high degree of stretch. With their affordable price, they are perfect for one-time use and can be disposed of directly afterwards.
Which is better: vinyl or nitrile?
Vinyl gloves are an inexpensive choice for single use. They are soft and comfortable to wear, but do not offer the same level of resistance as nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves are more robust, especially against chemicals and punctures, and are therefore ideal for work where a higher level of protection is required.
Nitrile gloves also fit better and offer a finer tactile feel than vinyl gloves. This makes them perfect for jobs where precision is required. Although they are slightly more expensive, the higher level of protection and durability can be crucial in many working environments.
The choice between vinyl and nitrile depends on your specific requirements. If you need inexpensive disposable gloves without special protection requirements, vinyl gloves are a good choice. However, if you need a higher level of protection, nitrile gloves are the better option.
Are vinyl gloves latex-free?
Yes, vinyl gloves are latex-free and therefore a good alternative for people with latex allergies. They are made of PVC and are particularly suitable for the food industry. People with sensitive skin can also wear vinyl gloves without any problems. It is important to choose the right size to ensure an optimal fit and protection.
Can you be allergic to vinyl?
Although it is less common, some people can have an allergic reaction to vinyl. Symptoms of a vinyl allergy can include skin rashes, itching and swelling. If you notice such symptoms, you should consult a doctor to clarify the allergy and discuss appropriate measures.
For people with vinyl allergies, there are alternatives such as latex or nitrile gloves that are less likely to cause allergic reactions. It is advisable to test in advance whether you are also allergic to these materials.

Huge offer of vinyl gloves
In our store we sell vinyl gloves in packs of 100 pieces. These gloves have a length of 24cm and a rolled edge that catches drops when the hands are raised.

Our vinyl gloves are made of white-transparent or blue vinyl and are therefore perfect for any use.
For ease of use, a wall mount can also be ordered directly from our store. This allows you to easily mount single or multiple dispensers in entryways or hygiene stations for quick and easy access at all times.
Why use only powder-free vinyl gloves?
The powder used in disposable gloves consists of a large proportion of proteins, which can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some users. For this reason, today only powder-free vinyl gloves are usually offered - unpowdered gloves are also suitable for allergy sufferers. The powder was originally used to make the gloves easier to put on and take off. However, modern disposable vinyl gloves now have a coating that achieves the same effect and provides a comfortable feel.
Durability of vinyl gloves
As a rule, a shelf life of 5 years from the date of production is assumed. The expiration date should be written on each package. Especially for use in the medical field or when working with hazardous chemicals, it is important not to use the gloves after the expiration date has passed. The material can become porous and thus the tightness can no longer be guaranteed. This is especially crucial for preventing contamination. Porosity also severely compromises flexibility and tear resistance.
