Choosing Disposable vs Reusable Gloves: What’s the Better Option for Your Business?

person putting on latex disposable gloves

Wearing gloves is vital for many industries to support employee safety. There are many kinds of gloves to choose from, and it’s important to choose a style that works best with the material you’re handling.

What’s the Difference in the Make of Disposable and Reusable Gloves?

Disposable gloves are designed for single use and are often used in the food service and healthcare industry. These gloves are composed of natural rubber latex, nitrile, and vinyl, making them much thinner and sensitive to touch. The overall purpose of these gloves is to create a barrier to protect yourself from cross-contamination, whether it’s from food products or body fluids. 

Reusable gloves are designed for maximum durability and strength. These gloves are typically used for performing heavy-duty tasks and are ideal for businesses in agriculture, lawn and turf, industrial manufacturing, and research and science. Reusable gloves are composed of thick nitrile and PVC material to protect the user from hot liquids and harsh chemicals. Unlike disposable gloves, reusable gloves must be washed with soap and water after each use to maintain efficient functionality.

Axiom Products supplies reusable and disposable PVC and nitrile gloves that are long lasting and chemical resistant. Contact us today to start an order!
