PVC gloves provide adequate protection against stronger acids and bases as well as salts, alcohols and water solutions making this type of hand ppe ideal for tasks that involve handling these kinds of materials or when handling objects in the wet.
Vinyl is a synthetic, non-bio-degradable, protein-free material made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizers. Since vinyl gloves are synthetic and non-biodegradable, they have a longer shelf life than latex gloves, which often start to break down over time.
