Why more people prefer to use nitrile gloves instead of disposable pvc gloves in the food industry

Nowadays, many food industries wear disposable gloves to protect their hands when reprocessing food, but many like to use nitrile gloves, and only a small number of them use disposable pvc gloves. Why?

. Low total cost: The total cost of nitrile gloves is lower than that of polyvinyl chloride gloves, and the nitrile rubber material is more durable, tougher and has a longer service life. PVC gloves are not durable, break easily and have no fit. Nitrile gloves can be used in a food processing environment for 3-4 hours, while PVC gloves can only be used for 1 hour, or even less than 1 hour. PVC gloves are only suitable for short-term or one-time use, such as making sandwiches. Its frequency is 2-3 times that of nitrile gloves. Although a single pair of PVC gloves is said to be less expensive than nitrile gloves, the actual total cost of nitrile gloves will be lower depending on the frequency of replacement.

2. Comparison of food safety between blue nitrile gloves and transparent PVC gloves in terms of color: The main reason why food processing plants use blue nitrile gloves is that blue is easier to see than transparent. Blue nitrile gloves are required during cutting of fresh food, roasting and processing meat. If fragments of transparent PVC gloves or latex gloves are found in food, it will have an impact on food safety.

3. Flexibility and touch when processing food: Compared with PVC gloves, nitrile gloves have excellent flexibility and touch. Nitrile gloves are more convenient and flexible for a variety of food processing tasks. Unlike nitrile gloves, PVC gloves are looser, and nitrile gloves have a good feel. Compared with nitrile gloves, the use of PVC gloves will affect the work efficiency.

4. Comparison of long-term food processing operations and fast food service: Nitrile gloves are the most suitable gloves for long-term food processing. It is durable and has a long service life.
