Choosing the Right Disposable PVC Gloves

 

 

Vinyl gloves have been one of the most commonly used disposable gloves, both domestically and industrially, for decades. They are affordable, versatile, and suitable for use in a range of applications. Of course, safety gloves must do much more than simply protect the hands from contaminants. Wearing gloves is a fact of life for many workers who come into contact with chemicals, pathogens, and other potentially hazardous materials, as well as for workers who handle food products.

 

Here, we outline the differences between vinyl gloves and other popular glove materials and detail some of the most common applications for vinyl gloves, to help you choose the right disposable vinyl safety glove for your workplace.

 

What are disposable PVC gloves?

Disposable vinyl gloves are synthetic disposable safety gloves made using PVC (polyvinyl chloride). In order to make the glove material more flexible and suitable for use as a safety glove, a plasticiser is added during the manufacturing process. As PVC is an inexpensive material, vinyl gloves are one of the most affordable disposable safety gloves on the market and are often used in environments where everyday use is required, and a high turnover of gloves is expected.

 

Their PVC and plasticized material make disposable vinyl gloves waterproof and resistant to some chemicals, including detergents, dyes, and low-level corrosive materials. They are generally available in both powdered versions (which can allow for easier donning and removal) and powder-free versions (where powder may contaminate other materials), depending on the manufacturer.

 

As is the case when selecting any safety glove for the workplace, it is important to carefully consult the manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines for the product, to determine whether it is suitable for the task. Vinyl gloves are not recommended for use in environments where contact with strong chemicals or fatty foods and oils is expected.

 

Applications for disposable vinyl gloves

Vinyl gloves are found in many workplaces and domestic environments, and are an incredibly popular choice for low-risk day-to-day activities, due to their low cost and low-risk protective properties. Some of the most common applications for disposable vinyl gloves include:

• Housekeeping: In industrial housekeeping situations, vinyl gloves help to protect workers’ hands and prevent cross-contamination, particularly in care and assistance roles where laundry and bed linen (which may be contaminated by body fluids) is involved.

• Food preparation: Vinyl gloves are commonly used where food safety is a factor, and protect against contamination and cross-contamination of food and other materials in food preparation environments. For those involved in preparing food and handling cash, for example, the quick disposal of these low-cost gloves is ideal for preventing cross-contamination. Unigloves vinyl gloves are certified for use with food. However, vinyl gloves are not suitable for more than the briefest contact with fatty and oily foods.

• Hairdressing: Vinyl gloves are popular for short-term use when it comes to dying and treating hair, either at home or in salon environments. For exposure to stronger chemicals, however, nitrile gloves should be considered.

• Cleaning and janitorial: For household and industrial cleaning applications in low-risk environments, vinyl gloves are a popular choice for protecting the hands for short periods of time, where exposure to high-risk chemicals is not expected.

 

Why choose disposable vinyl gloves over latex or nitrile gloves?

Disposable vinyl gloves are versatile and inexpensive gloves used in a huge variety of applications. Typically, vinyl gloves are neither as strong nor as resistant to chemicals and other hazards, as latex or nitrile gloves. However, they are still a preferred option for many workplaces and even in domestic applications. As vinyl gloves are latex-free, they are a popular alternative to latex gloves, alongside nitrile gloves, where latex allergies have been deemed a risk to workers or those they encounter.

 

Vinyl gloves are also typically less robust than their latex or nitrile counterparts when it comes to puncture and tear resistance, which is why they are rarely used in high-risk medical environments or where workers are likely to be dealing with corrosive or otherwise hazardous materials.

 

Despite their lower levels of protection in high-risk environments, disposable vinyl gloves are still a suitable and incredibly popular glove for many situations. They are also an excellent protective measure for preventing contamination and cross-contamination in food preparation situations. Furthermore, as vinyl powder-free disposable gloves are latex-free, chemical accelerator-free, and free from powder, they are a great alternative for those suffering from Type I or Type IV skin allergies.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VINYL, NITRILE AND LATEX GLOVES

Disposable gloves are one of the most widely used personal protective equipment (PPE) in medical, food service, chemical, primary-care and aged care, life science and industrial industries. There are many things to consider when choosing a glove including quality, protection, and allergies. The three main materials when searching for disposable gloves are: Latex, Nitrile and Vinyl. Here we explain the differences between these three materials and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

 

Latex

Latex or natural rubber (NRL) is the substance obtained from the sap of the Hevea Brasiliense tree (Vaysse, et. al., 2012). During manufacturing, chemicals are added to render latex elastic and stable to heat by vulcanisation (i.e. heating in the presence of sulphur). Further chemicals, commonly known as chemical accelerators, are added for strength and durability, including mercaptobenzothiazole, thiurams and carbamates. Sometimes a dry powder lubricant (usually corn-starch), is added to the surface of the latex to prevent the rubber surfaces from sticking together.

 

Its soft and stretchy properties make it an ideal material to provide a proper fitting to any palm shape and size. NRL offers a degree of resistance to tearing and has shown to self-seal small punctures. They also boast strong elastic properties, offering reliable performance and barrier protection against infection and contamination.

 

Often the primary reason to consider an alternative to the traditional latex glove is the potential for people to be allergic to the latex proteins found in the glove. In the worst-case scenario, a person susceptible to a Type 1 allergy can experience an anaphylactic seizure.

 

 

What is a Latex Allergy?

 A latex allergy is a reaction to certain proteins in latex rubber. The amount of latex exposure needed to produce sensitisation or an allergic reaction is currently unknown (CDC, 2020). However, increasing the exposure to latex proteins increases the risk of developing allergic symptoms. In sensitised individuals, symptoms usually begin within minutes of exposure but can occur hours later and vary in severity. Mild reactions involve skin redness, rash, hives, or itching, while more severe reactions may involve respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, scratchy throat, and asthma (difficult breathing, coughing spells, and wheezing). Rarely, shock may occur however, a life-threatening reaction is seldom the first sign of latex allergy (AAFA, 2020).

 

While allergic reactions can occur from latex proteins as well as chemical accelerators, they do not occur with corn-starch itself (AAFA, 2017). However,  latex proteins can leach from the glove and stick to the corn-starch causing particles to become airborne when gloves are changed, and spread latex into the local environment (AAFA, 2020). Mun’s range of gloves, including its latex options, are powder-free. Consequently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the use and sale of powdered disposable gloves in the US (FDA, 2017).

 

Advantages	Disadvantages
· Comfort · Very elastic and strong · Good dexterity · Acts and fits like a second skin · Has a high level of tactility	· Latex can be an allergen · Lower resistance to punctures · Lower chemical resistance · Not as chemical resistant as nitrile

 

Vinyl

Vinyl is a synthetic man-made material that is protein-free and non-biodegradable. Vinyl gloves were the first synthetic alternative available, offering an allergy-free option to latex and composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizers. The polymerisation process, whereby monomers of vinyl chloride are linked together to form long polymer chains (Vinyl Council Australia, 2020), softens the material and gives vinyl gloves a long shelf life.

 

They offer little protection from chemicals and micro-organisms but are suited for short-term handling of non-hazardous materials and chemicals. They also do not offer quite as good dexterity as nitrile and latex gloves and can come powdered with a layer of corn-starch for easy donning and doffing. (read more on problems associated with powdered gloves). Other disadvantages include higher rates of chemical permeation compared to other materials, high chemical residue, more pinholes, and a stiff and loose fit which causes muscle fatigue.

 

Certain vinyl gloves use activation agents that can also cause skin allergies (Gnaneswaran, et al., 2008). The less a glove is washed, the more chemical residue is available for potential contact with the user. Chemical accelerators, which are used in the production of gloves such as carbonates & thiurams, may also cause skin reactions (Gnaneswaran, et al., 2008). Many companies have also announced that vinyl gloves pose high food safety risks (Huddle, 2018; PBC, 2020).

 

Advantages	Disadvantages
· Latex-free · Good for short-term, low-risk tasks · Long shelf life	· Less dexterity due to a stiffer & looser fit · Higher rate of chemical permeation · High chemical residue · Susceptible to punctures/pinholes · Do not offer much chemical resistance · Powdered gloves cause skin irritation from prolonged use

 

 

Nitrile

Nitrile is a man-made rubber made from a synthetic polymer produced from a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2020). High-quality nitrile gloves, like those from Mun Global, are often described as ‘medical grade’. Past nitrile gloves were very stiff but today exhibit natural rubber-like characteristics to offer excellent flexibility and sensitivity of fit. Nitrile gloves also provide similar levels of tensile strength and durability, and are available in many colours. They provide easy and early identification of punctures and tears to the wearer when a breach occurs, ensuring they work well in high-risk situations involving infectious materials. Furthermore, nitrile is resistant to many chemicals, particularly petroleum-based products, making it an effective material for safeguarding when handling hazardous substances.

Advantages	Disadvantages
· Latex-free · Excellent puncture resistance · Can be worn for longer periods of time · Work well for high-risk situations involving infectious materials · High chemical resistance · A higher level of durability and tactility · Best to wear an extended amount of time	· The synthetic nitrile rubber polymer is also not as cheap to produce as vinyl or latex.

 

The advantage of nitrile gloves

The nitrile is formed by emulsion polymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile. In order to improve the bonding strength and mechanical properties of wet gel and vulcanized rubber, nitrile latex has often been added carboxyl-included monomers in the copolymer modification.
The common carboxylic monomers are acrylic acid, methyl acrylic acid, etc.. Carboxyl nitrile latex can significantly improve mechanical stability, latex oil resistance, and aging resistance.

Nitrile gloves are acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, non-toxic, harmless, and tasteless. It is made of nitrile synthetic material without the protein contains in the latex which can easily make human allergic. It has a lot of advantages like the following:selecting formula and advanced technology, soft and comfortable nonslip, flexible operation.

Nitrile gloves do not contain phthalates, gloves, silicone oil, amino compounds, and have good performance, clean and anti-static properties, aging resistance, and oil resistance. Purification NBR gloves shape can be designed according to the human hand, with great sensitivity, excellent tensile properties and puncture resistance, high tensile strength, and excellent abrasion resistance.

Nitrile is soft, comfortable, and well fit. It has features such as durability and safety. Blue pigment was added into raw materials, no finish product release, do not fade, no effect on the product. Using 100% synthetic nitrile rubber produced, low ion content.

The glove quickly created interest in the medical community, plus the food handling industry. Unique characteristics of abrasion and cut resistance, and form-fitting features, made for an intriguing alternative to natural rubber.

 

How world’s largest glove maker meets coronavirus demand

In late January this year when medical glove importers in China heard whispers of a virus outbreak that could potentially have widespread consequences, they reached out to Top Glove, the world’s largest rubber glove maker.

At that time, phone calls to the Malaysia-based company were merely enquiries on delivery time and pricing. The calls didn’t turn into orders, said Lim Cheong Guan, Top Glove’s executive director, who heads the finance division, in an interview with FM.

“But things changed when the Chinese government started taking serious actions,” he said, pointing to city and province lockdowns that prevented workers from returning to offices and factories after the Lunar New Year holiday.

In February when the new coronavirus’s death toll surpassed that of 2003’s SARS outbreak, orders increased by 100% compared with the usual weekly orders from China. Singapore and, most recently, Italy had also started asking for more gloves.

In such a case of an unexpected surge in demand, how is Top Glove planning its production ramp-up?

It’s not that simple

The company produces 73.4 billion gloves a year and commands 26% of the global rubber glove market share. Its natural and synthetic rubber gloves are used by healthcare workers and food service workers, and in industrial settings. It sells to 195 countries, with the UK, Europe, and the US as its major export markets, closing 2019 with record revenue of MYR 4.8 billion ($1.16 billion) but a fall in profit due to increased competition and higher natural rubber prices.

The doubling of February orders means that it has to make roughly 5.8 billion more gloves in the coming weeks just to meet February’s additional demand. The usual lead time of 30–40 days was stretched to 50 days. This month when FM reached out again, orders are now 120 days till delivery, and its factories’ utilisation rate rose to 95%, up from 85% in February.

On the surface, a production ramp-up looks as simple as increasing inputs — raw materials, labour, and cash. But the experience of one manufacturer, Prestige Ameritech in the US, has shown that swift increases in production could create a risk that could almost destroy a business, according to a US National Public Radio report.

In 2009 at the height of the H1N1 flu pandemic, Texas-based Prestige Ameritech hired more workers and built new machines to increase surgical mask production. But the machines took months to complete, and by the time they were ready, the swine flu crisis had ended and demand had died out. To add to its woes, there was oversupply in the market, and hospitals didn’t buy for months. The manufacturer almost went bankrupt, NPR reported.

Protective equipment for healthcare workers is crucial to the fight against coronavirus. Earlier this month, the World Health Organization (WHO) urged businesses and governments to act swiftly to boost supplies of protective equipment, including gloves, medical masks, and respirators, for healthcare workers on the frontlines combating COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. To meet rising global demand, the WHO estimates that manufacturers must increase production by 40%.

For many companies, production ramp-ups can be make-or-break moments. Winners are those that can act quickly to capitalise on the short but sharp demand spike. For Top Glove, the upshot has mostly been positive so far. In many ways, the company is well positioned to benefit from the demand surge.

New capacity every year

It already had a month’s worth of raw materials in warehouses to kick-start production ramp-up. And its rubber suppliers are in Thailand and Malaysia — the world’s largest and third-largest rubber producers, respectively — which means that Top Glove’s raw material supplies are secure amid current shocks to the global supply chains. A key factor now, Lim said, is to ensure that its suppliers in Thailand and Malaysia can also increase their raw material supplies to its factories.

Its factories run 24 hours a day in three shifts, and its 44 plants located mostly in Malaysia typically have 10% to 15% of unutilised capacity — a decisive factor that has enabled it to increase output at a moment’s notice.

The question is why do its factories run at an average 85% capacity for most of the year? Is it by design?

“We don’t target 85% [capacity]. We’d prefer 95% because it’s more efficient,” said Lim, the executive director of finance. “But because we build new production lines every few months, our capacity will continue to increase.”

“We’re the largest glove manufacturer in the world. We need to have extra capacity. We can’t run on 95% throughout the whole year,” he added.

Labour shortage

“Situations like COVID-19 [are] not new to the industry,” said Shiv Dave, founder of Televisory, a Singapore-based consultancy. The industry has experienced the same situation during the SARS and H1N1 outbreaks, he said.

But since the SARS and H1N1 outbreaks, the labour market in Malaysia has changed tremendously. Across the industry, getting thousands of workers to fill production lines in the coming weeks will be an immense challenge.

In a recent note, a Maybank research analyst wrote that Top Glove’s sales volume will grow at a pace slower than its sales orders because production is constrained by a shortage of workers.

Malaysia’s rubber glove industry is heavily reliant on migrant labour from countries such as Indonesia, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Since last year, the country’s manufacturing sector has been experiencing acute labour shortages after the government imposed stricter labour requirements and cracked down on foreign workers without work permits. The move is to wean the sector off its dependence on low-skilled foreign labour as the country aims to become a developed economy.

“To balance increased capacity with workforce shortage, we estimate that the rubber gloves industry will require at least an additional 25,000 workers,” Dave said. “It’s a difficult task in the short term.”

Top Glove is also especially careful in managing workers’ hours. Two years ago, news surfaced that some of its factory employees worked an excessive number of overtime hours beyond what’s permitted under local labour laws, which the company denied. Lim, the head of finance, said that the company has improved its recruitment policy and that overtime hours are voluntary and “in accordance with what is permitted by labour laws”.

To sustain long-term growth, the company has turned to automation. It has been pouring investments into research and development to increase automation and efficiency in its lines. Ten years ago, it needed 15 workers for every million gloves produced. The number is down to 2.5 workers today, and it can go lower, Lim said.

Robotic arms have replaced human workers in pulling gloves off moulds and counting gloves. Workers are only needed at the end of the glove-making process to pack gloves in boxes.

A 4-month backlog

It’s largely a pull-demand strategy, where production is triggered by a customer’s order, instead of the traditional push-demand, where products are produced ahead of time according to projected demand. That means the company has avoided a glut in its warehouses. It has ready-stock available, but inventory is kept at a minimal level. But this strategy also means that there’s currently a four-month order backlog.

Lim, however, is not concerned with losing out to competition given that the virus has spread to more than 110 countries. Most glove makers are also operating at close to 100%. Last month, the WHO reached out to the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association, a local trade group, to receive assurance from Malaysia’s glove makers that they would increase production to prevent a global glove shortage.

“The industry is certainly in an oversold position right now but has not reached a pandemonium position yet,” said Denis Low, president of the glove manufacturers association, according to a local media report.

But to fill urgent orders, Top Glove is speaking to customers to see if priority can be given to countries that need gloves most at this time.

Being ready with sufficient raw materials, workers, and a credit line to tap into if it needs a cash infusion is all it can do — because predicting future demand is difficult given the nature of the pandemic.

“We can’t forecast demand because we don’t know how extensive or long this [virus spread] will be, and how much it has spread to other countries,” Lim said. “What’s important is to get ourselves ready, with lines prepared to process orders.”

He added if there’s a need for new capacity, the company plans to speed up installation of production lines in a new factory that is part of its yearly expansion.

Preparing for greater demand

But Lim said the company is well aware of a possible oversupply in the market when the pandemic subsides and is prepared for that likelihood.

“Down the road we may have issues of a slowdown effect because [customers] may have ordered excess stock, and they have to clear the stock,” he said. “During this good time, we must also prepare for what’s coming”.

At the company’s annual general meeting at the beginning of the year, Top Glove senior executives flashed a world map of glove consumption per capita on a huge screen. In a year, the US uses 150 glove pieces per capita, Italy 123 pieces, Japan 54 pieces, and China a comparatively minute six pieces.

Top Glove and other glove producers in Malaysia may already be supplying three in every five pairs used globally, but they are banking on increasing hygiene standards and awareness, healthcare reforms, and the world’s ageing population to drive growth in the industry. And those are promising prospects for which Top Glove is laying the groundwork.

What are the differences between nitrile vs vinyl gloves? Which is better for what purposes?

While nitrile gloves are generally more expensive than vinyl gloves, they offer a number of advantages over vinyl. When choosing disposable gloves, the main issue to consider is which ones are appropriate for the task at hand.

The purpose of this guide is not to give you a definitive answer on which type of glove is better. Rather, it will provide information about nitrile and vinyl gloves that allow you to make your own decision based on your needs.

What are Nitrile Gloves?

Nitrile is a synthetic rubber that offers flexibility, long-life durability, and chemical resistance. Nitrile is a synthetic elastomer designed to be moisture resistant. Disposable nitrile gloves are flexible and durable making them ideal for industrial tasks, the food industry, and health care applications. They are also great for most medical environments.

What are Nitrile Gloves Made From?

Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber called acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber. This material provides users with heightened tactile sensitivity, allowing you to pick up small items such as screws and needles more accurately. They are also more puncture resistant.

The disposable glove materials were first developed to solve the common problems of allergic reactions to natural rubber latex gloves and low protection against solvents. They are the most popular glove materials used in many industries and the ideal alternative to disposable latex gloves.

What are Nitrile Gloves Used For?

Nitrile gloves are used for a variety of industrial, domestic, and healthcare purposes. Nitrile gloves are the popular choice for health care workers, dentistry, beauty shop owners, healthcare providers, laboratory work, food handling, chemical handling, and general industrial tasks.

Nitrile protective gloves can also be found in the automotive industry and janitorial industry. Nitrile was found to be more durable than vinyl when performing gripping tasks with power tools and picking up tools like wrenches and screwdrivers.

What are the Advantages of Nitrile Gloves?

Because nitrile is naturally resistant to oils, it can offer extra protection for people working with oily substances such as motor oils, adhesives like epoxies, and other petroleum based chemicals or lubricants.

Nitrile gloves offer many advantages over vinyl gloves that include:

High chemical resistance

Highly resistant to oils, fats, and petroleum-based products

Trends of Nitrile Gloves in the New Crown Epidemic

The market has been greatly driven by the COVID-19 outbreak, resulting in exponential growth in demand for nitrile gloves. The risk of infection and the implementation of strict hygiene protocols make nitrile gloves a compelling option, as these gloves play an important role in preventing the spread of infection while maintaining the hygiene of laboratory and medical procedures.

The pandemic has led to a significant increase in demand for PPE from the healthcare industry and the public, a situation that has made it difficult for manufacturers and other businesses to maintain ideal inventories to ensure employee safety. While the initial focus was on a significant shortage of N95 masks, shortages in supply and rising unit prices of nitrile gloves became major issues.

Most hospitals and healthcare facilities are struggling with a shortage of medical gloves, no protective clothing and masks. While severe shortages of essential supplies such as masks, respirators and sterile wipes are causing safety concerns, the sudden drop in the supply of nitrile gloves continues to be a huge challenge for healthcare facilities that rely heavily on these gloves for their high durability and puncture characteristics and chemical resistance.

Although nitrile glove manufacturers are in full production, supply has been unable to meet demand since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. This shortfall is affecting a large number of end-users, including healthcare professionals and other industrial users.

In addition, COVID-19 vaccination programs announced in different countries will significantly boost the global demand for these gloves. Healthcare and government organizations implementing these vaccination programs need to ensure that they provide sufficient nitrile gloves for healthcare professionals aiming to administer COVID-19 to people to achieve ideal hand hygiene and protection.

 

Here, we will describe nitrile gloves in detail.

 

1. Definition

Nitrile rubber is produced from butadiene (H2C=CH-CH=CH2) and acrylonitrile (H2C=CH-CN) by emulsion polymerization, mainly by low-temperature emulsion polymerization, and has the properties of both homopolymers. Butadiene component gives the copolymer elasticity and cold resistance, acrylonitrile component has a strong polarity, -CN group can make the copolymer with good chemical resistance, especially oil resistance (refers to alkane oil) is particularly good. Increasing the content of acrylonitrile in rubber can improve the oil resistance of rubber, but the elasticity and cold resistance will be reduced its products have good oil resistance, higher wear resistance and better heat resistance.

Nitrile gloves can be divided into two types with and without powder. The length of nitrile gloves is 23cm and 30cm; thickness is 0.08~0.09mm, the color is mainly blue, and the main finished products are packed with 100pcs per box, and the specifications are XS, S, M, L, XL.
