What Are Vinyl Gloves?
Vinyl gloves are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic polymer. They are latex-free, making them a great alternative for individuals with latex allergies. Vinyl gloves are less elastic and form-fitting compared to latex or nitrile gloves, offering a looser fit and a smooth, comfortable feel.
