FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for medical use?

These gloves are tested to EU standards for general protective gloves and are food safe. They are suitable for low-risk applications in healthcare settings but are not rated for surgical or sterile environments.

Can I use these gloves with harsh chemicals?

No, these vinyl gloves are intended for general-purpose use and are not designed to protect against strong chemicals, solvents, or hazardous materials. Refer to specific chemical resistance charts for appropriate glove selection.

How do I choose the right size?

These gloves are Extra Large (XL). For best fit and comfort, ensure your hand measurements correspond to the manufacturer's sizing guide if available, or try them on if possible. A proper fit prevents discomfort and reduces the risk of tearing.

Are these gloves biodegradable?

Vinyl is a type of plastic and is not readily biodegradable. Dispose of used gloves in accordance with local waste regulations.

What does 'Powder-Free' mean?

'Powder-Free' means that any powder that may have been used during the manufacturing process has been removed. This reduces the risk of skin irritation, allergic reactions, and contamination of work surfaces or products.

How many gloves are in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 gloves.

What is the difference between vinyl and nitrile gloves?

Vinyl gloves are typically less expensive, more flexible, and a good option for latex allergies. Nitrile gloves generally offer better puncture and chemical resistance and a snugger fit, making them suitable for more demanding tasks.

Troubleshooting

Gloves tear easily during use.

Ensure you are using the correct size. Avoid overstretching the gloves when putting them on. For tasks requiring higher durability, consider a nitrile or thicker gauge glove.

Skin irritation occurs despite being powder-free and latex-free.

While rare, some individuals may have sensitivities to vinyl or other components. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional.

Gloves feel sticky or difficult to put on.

Ensure hands are completely dry. Avoid using lotions or creams before donning, as this can affect grip and ease of application. Ensure the correct size is being used.
