Vinyl gloves

Vinyl gloves - viGO! | Comfort and safety for everyone

Does a latex allergy make it impossible to work in gloves? No problem! It's worth trying products made from vinyl! They'll appeal in particular to those who can't stand the "clingy hand" feeling that comes with working in latex and nitrile gloves. Vinyl, though less stretchy, has its own undeniable advantages – it's comfortable to wear, reduces the risk of chafing and irritation, and at the same time guarantees good protection against external factors. What's more, vinyl gloves don't contain latex, which can cause allergic reactions.

However, to enjoy full comfort of use, it's worth remembering to choose the right size. Gloves that are too small can cause discomfort and restrict freedom of movement, while ones that are too big can slip off, affecting the precision of the task at hand. Choosing the right size is crucial, especially in industries where precision is required, such as catering, beauty, or the medical sector.

What makes vinyl gloves so special?

What exactly is the material these products are made from? Put simply, it's plasticised vinyl chloride, or PVC. This makes vinyl gloves more resistant to wear than their latex counterparts. What's more, they have a smooth surface that's pleasant to the touch, increasing comfort of use. Although vinyl isn't as stretchy as latex or nitrile, its resistance to fats and chemicals, and the fact that it doesn't cause allergic reactions, mean it works brilliantly in a range of working environments.

Many protective gloves are made from materials that can cause allergic reactions – not only latex, but also wax or silicone. There's no such risk with vinyl gloves – they're powder-free, don't cause allergies, and don't irritate the skin. This makes them a perfect solution for people who struggle with allergies or have sensitive hands.

Vinyl gloves – versatile uses

After being removed, vinyl gloves don't leave behind an unpleasant smell, which matters a great deal in industries where hygiene and presentation are key. What's more, they don't change the taste or smell of food, which is why they're often used in catering, food service, and food production.

Thanks to their resistance to fats and oils, they work brilliantly in kitchen work, especially when preparing dishes that require contact with greasy foods, such as meat or sauces. This is a major advantage over latex gloves, which can degrade on contact with oily substances.

Gloves made from polyvinyl chloride are useful not only in catering, but also in:

- beauty and hair salons – they work brilliantly for treatments such as hair dyeing, applying cosmetics, or manicures,

- laboratory work – they protect hands from contact with certain chemical substances,

- cleaning and housework – they're durable and protect against detergents,

- the medical field and healthcare – they provide hygiene and protection when in contact with patients.

How to look after vinyl gloves?

To preserve their properties for longer, it's important to store them correctly. Vinyl is a material sensitive to high temperatures, sunlight and moisture. Storing gloves in unsuitable conditions for a long time can lead to damage, so it's best to keep them somewhere dry and shaded.

Regularly checking the condition of your gloves before use will help you avoid surprises such as cracks or wear. This way, you can be sure your vinyl gloves will do their job in every situation.

They work well both around the home and in professional industries where hygiene, durability, and resistance to fats or chemicals matter. By choosing vinyl gloves, you're investing in comfort and safety – both your own and your customers'. At the same time, gloves made from polyvinyl chloride are more affordably priced than nitrile gloves, which matters where usage is high, such as in catering and the food industry.
