What are the drawbacks of PVC impregnated labor protection gloves

2023-08-04

1. Poor flexibility of PVC labor protection gloves
PVC dipped gloves have gone from being initially hand dipped to being mostly or even fully immersed in PVC, with an increasing area of immersion and more comprehensive protection. Due to the thick PVC adhesive itself and the large immersion area, the flexibility of gloves is relatively poor.
At present, there are many ways to improve its flexibility, but after improvement, the cost will be relatively high and the market acceptance will be relatively poor. As the lowest end product in impregnated gloves, slight price fluctuations will have a greater impact.
2. Oil leakage problem of PVC labor protection gloves
Another reason that affects the comfort of PVC gloves is the issue of oil leakage. Common latex and nitrile rubber are water-based, while PVC is made of oily materials. Under normal temperature conditions, the PVC adhesive surface will slowly release grease, especially under high temperature and humidity conditions, so wearing it for a long time will make your hands feel greasy. In addition, some manufacturers use cheap and inferior oil, which causes many users to feel their hands stink.
So, as a relatively low-cost product, PVC impregnated labor protection gloves have obvious advantages and disadvantages. Even so, PVC impregnated gloves are still a suitable product for labor protection, and we only need to comprehensively consider cost, protection, comfort, and other aspects.
