Vinyl vs. Nitrile: Which Should You Order?

The short answer: vinyl for volume and value, nitrile for protection and precision. Vinyl gloves are ideal for short-duration, low-risk tasks - think food handling, light cleaning, and quick-change environments. Nitrile gloves offer superior chemical resistance, a snugger fit, and stronger puncture protection, making them the better choice for medical, dental, automotive, and industrial use.

Who Are Vinyl Gloves Best For?

Vinyl gloves are a natural fit for food service workers and prep cooks who need FDA-compliant hand protection at scale, cleaning and janitorial staff handling detergents and mild chemicals, hospitality and hotel housekeeping teams, hair salons and beauty professionals doing light colour work, and any business that needs a cost-effective, latex-free glove option in large quantities. If your team is handling hazardous chemicals, sharp instruments, or requires a precision fit, then our nitrile or biodegradable nitrile lines would be a better match.
