Gloves

 Nitrile Gloves

Disposable nitrile gloves are made from nitrile rubber, a synthetic material that provides superior resistance to chemicals and oils. These flexible gloves are puncture-resistant, making them ideal for tough industrial and janitorial jobs. You'll see black nitrile gloves used frequently in hair salons and tattoo shops, but they're also a great option for foodservice. 
 
Nitrile gloves provide a snug fit with tactile sensitivity, which makes them comfortable to wear for long periods without irritation. They also have a long shelf-life, so these gloves will maintain their integrity over time.

 Vinyl Gloves

Vinyl gloves are a cost-effective alternative to nitrile or latex gloves. They provide a safe level of protection at a more affordable price, which is essential when buying in bulk. Vinyl is also durable and tear-resistant, reducing the risk of torn gloves.

 Powder-free options are the best choice for food prep.

 Poly Gloves

Poly gloves are made from polyethylene plastic, a thinner material compared to nitrile, vinyl, and latex. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just makes poly gloves more suitable for light-duty tasks. You won't get the same level of tear resistance with poly, but you get a thin, lightweight glove that is easy to take off quickly. 

Use these gloves for food prep tasks when gloves need to be changed often and you don't need chemical resistance. Poly gloves are also one of the most economical disposable gloves on our list.
