Latex Gloves
When natural rubber is dispersed in water it is known as latex. Compared to other materials, natural rubber has excellent elasticity, as well as fantastic tear and cut resistance, and coupled with great grip and temperature resistance properties. It is capable of withstanding alcohols, water and some ketones, but suffers from a low resistance against a lot of organic solvents and hydrocarbons. I some people it can also cause allergic reactions.
Nitrile Gloves
Nitrile rubber is a co-polymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. Physical hazard-resistance general cuts and abrasions is fantastic . Nitrile will perform in temperatures between -4° to 149°C (25° to 300°F), although it is not fire-proof. Nitrile gloves offer the user a high resistance to most oils and fuels as well as some organic solvents. Nitrile has a wide variety of uses including impregnated cut-and-sewn gloves, and as a coating for dipped gloves.
PVC Gloves
PVC (stands Polyvinyl Chloride) offers the user abrasion resistance, but is prone to snags and punctures. Regrettably the tacticity of PVC is not as high compared to other rubber gloves. At temperatures of 82°C (180°F) and above, PVC will begin to soften and may alter its natural resistance to water, detergents, and acids and diluted bases. PVC gloves only offer the wearer a limited amount of protection against organic solvents. In terms of work gloves, PVC coated gloves are one of the most prevalent on the market today.
Neoprene Gloves
Neoprene gloves offer the user above average cut and abrasion resistance, whilst simultaneously resisting the harsh effects of glove aging and direct sunlight, as well as oxidation, ozone and weather effects. Chloroprene is more commonly known by its DuPont trade name of Neoprene and is the first commercial synthetic rubber that was created. It is also flame resistant to some degree, and can demonstrate heat stability of up to and including 93C (200F).
