What Are Gloves?

Gloves are designed to keep your hands clean and protected while doing a variety of work that may otherwise be dirty or unsafe for your hands. Gloves protect your hands from the dirt, grease and grime of the dirtiest jobs, and keep you safe from certain materials when doing work that requires the use of chemicals or semi-sharp surfaces.

Where Can Gloves Be Used?

Hand-protection gloves are useful in a variety of situations, and certain tasks can only be completed with the right pair of gloves. Gloves for hand protection can make the difference between an easy and safe job or a difficult and dangerous time. Some jobs or activities that gloves can be useful for include:

• Working with garden and lawn tools
• Plumbing
• Mechanical work
• Using cleaning and janitorial supplies
• Performing work requiring medical supplies
• Tasks where you’re exposed to the cold
• Working with hazardous chemicals or materials

What Kind of Gloves Can You Buy?

Gloves come in a variety of types depending on their use case and the durability needed for each glove product.

Work Gloves

These hand protection gloves only come in one pair, but they are made with high-quality materials to ensure their ability to be used for years on end for multiple scenarios. These gloves can be washed and reused. Traditional work gloves should not be used in instances when sterile gloves are required for medical emergencies. Some materials usually used for making these gloves include polyurethane, nylon and synthetic leather.

Industrial Nitrile Gloves

These products come packaged in boxes of gloves designed for one use before being replaced with another pair. Industrial nitrile gloves are black and made of nitrile rubber material. These gloves are designed for automotive work, food, janitorial, manufacturing, plumbing and other work use. Nitrile gloves are durable with an excellent fit and comfort.

Medical Gloves

These powder-free gloves are made from synthetic vinyl and come in a box of gloves. Medical gloves are disposable and intended for single-use applications. These gloves are latex-free to prevent allergic reactions and fit easily on either hand. Latex-free clear gloves are completely clear and are useful in multiple scenarios where cleanliness and sterility are necessary, such as in medical offices or hospitals.
