Heavy oil/chemical environments: Choose Nitrile
It is resistant to various oils and lubricants, offers better puncture resistance than latex, and is free of latex proteins (preventing allergic reactions), making it the top choice for auto repair, laboratories, and kitchens with heavy grease.
Heavy-duty handling/cut-resistant tasks: Choose Leather or Thickened Dipped Materials
Top-grain cowhide is flexible and suitable for precision tasks, while thickened split-grain cowhide offers superior abrasion resistance; these are ideal for heavy manual labor like construction handling and welding, providing excellent tear and cut resistance.
Daily chores/light-duty tasks: Choose Latex
It offers excellent elasticity, a snug fit, and strong grip, making it suitable for tasks requiring dexterity like dishwashing and gardening; however, individuals with latex allergies should avoid it.
Cleanroom/precision operations: Choose PVC
It is hypoallergenic and leaves minimal ionic residue, making it suitable for cleanroom environments; however, it has poor elasticity, tears easily, and does not protect against organic solvents.
