Which food grade gloves are recommended?

The choice of food grade gloves should be based on specific needs, if focus on protective performance and comfort, nitrile rubber gloves are a better choice; if latex is not allergic to latex and the pursuit of high elasticity, latex gloves are worth considering; if the budget is limited, PVC gloves and PE gloves can meet the basic requirements. Specifically as follows: – Nitrile rubber gloves: have good elasticity and softness, comfortable to wear and fit the hand, and flexible to operate. Acid and alkali resistance, puncture resistance, isolation of oil and grease effect is remarkable, does not contain latex protein, low risk of allergy, suitable for handling meat, greasy food, but also for food processing, food service and other scenarios, especially suitable for the kitchen dishwashing, hood cleaning and other heavy oil pollution scenarios, but the price is relatively high. – Latex gloves: made of natural latex, excellent elasticity, can closely fit the hand, so that the hand operation is more flexible, breathability is also better, long time wear is not easy to feel hot and stuffy, suitable for baking, pastry production and other scenes that require fine operation. However, about 5% of the population has latex allergy risk, and its oil resistance is weak, easy to age and break in contact with grease. – PVC gloves: relatively low price, with good waterproof, oil resistance, can withstand some weak acid and alkali, suitable for short-term cleaning or food packaging, such as packing takeaway. But it is poor elasticity easy to tear, 40 ℃ or more may release plasticisers, is not recommended to contact with high-temperature ingredients, environmental protection is also relatively weak. – PE gloves: low-cost, commonly used in temporary peeling shrimp, and noodles and other short-term operations, such as supermarkets to take bulk food or family temporary use. Its shortcomings are easy to leak, easy to break, weak protection, not contact with hot oil or strong detergent, not suitable for long time or high requirements of food processing scene. In addition, TPE gloves are also worthy of attention. It has good elasticity and flexibility, comfortable to wear, flexible to operate, can be in direct contact with food, better environmental performance, degradability is better than PVC. but the price is usually higher than PVC gloves, anti-oil, waterproof performance may be slightly inferior to PVC gloves.
