Bulk Latex-Free Gloves FAQ
What is the best alternative to latex gloves?
Nitrile is the best alternative to latex gloves. Nitrile fits almost as closely as latex, resists punctures and chemicals better, and contains no natural rubber latex. Vinyl is a cheaper alternative for short, low-risk tasks.
What are latex-free gloves made of?
Latex-free gloves are made of synthetic materials: nitrile (synthetic rubber), vinyl (PVC) or polyethylene. None of these contain the natural rubber proteins that cause latex allergies.
Do bulk latex-free gloves ship free?
Yes. Gloves.com ships every order over $99 free, so all bulk and wholesale latex-free glove orders qualify for free shipping.
How much do bulk latex-free gloves cost?
Bulk latex-free gloves cost $25.00 to $70.00 per case when you order 100 cases. Vinyl and poly gloves run $25.00 to $33.50 per case, and nitrile runs $47.50 to $70.00 per case depending on thickness.
Are latex-free gloves more expensive than latex?
No, not usually. Vinyl and poly gloves cost less than latex, and 4 mil nitrile is priced close to latex. At 100 cases, 4 mil blue nitrile costs $47.50 per case at Gloves.com.
Are nitrile gloves safe for people with latex allergies?
Yes. Nitrile gloves contain no natural rubber latex, so they do not trigger latex allergies. A small number of people react to the chemical accelerators used to make nitrile, which is a separate skin sensitivity.
Do doctors and hospitals use latex-free gloves?
Yes. Most hospitals and clinics now use nitrile exam gloves to protect staff and patients from latex reactions. OSHA estimates that 8 to 12% of healthcare workers are latex sensitive.
Are vinyl gloves good for food service?
Yes. Vinyl gloves are a common, low-cost choice for food prep and serving. Vinyl suits short tasks with frequent changes. For raw meat, oily foods or longer wear, nitrile holds up better.
What is the difference between vinyl and poly gloves?
Vinyl gloves fit closer and last longer than poly gloves. Poly gloves are thin, loose and made for very quick tasks, like making a sandwich, where staff change gloves every few minutes.
Do latex-free gloves have a shelf life?
Yes. Nitrile and vinyl gloves typically last about 5 years when stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Check the date on the box, and rotate bulk stock so the oldest cases get used first.
Can I return bulk latex-free gloves?
Yes. Gloves.com accepts returns within 30 days. A $10 restocking fee applies to each opened box, and exchanges are available if you ordered the wrong size or type.
