PVC gloves and PE gloves are mostly transparent, which is difficult to distinguish when worn on the hand. However, If you observe carefully, you will find the difference, mainly depends on the material, performance and purpose.  TPE gloves are high-end cast film gloves that can replace PVC gloves.

TPE gloves have high transparency; the opening of the gloves is loose, which is convenient and comfortable to wear; the surface is uneven, the color is bright, and the thickness is uniform; light weight, good hand feeling, low price, non-toxic and harmless, are a general economic protection product.

TPE gloves are waterproof and oilproof, acid and alkali resistant, antibacterial, non-toxic and tasteless, disposable, hygienic and environmentally friendly, suitable for food processing, hotel catering, home cleaning, travel dinners, beauty salons, industrial and agricultural workmanship and protection , scientific research, electronic industry, etc.

PVC gloves are made of PVC paste resin, plasticizer, stabilizer, viscosity reducer, PU and softened water through a special process. Allergen-free; low dust emission and low ion content; strong chemical resistance and ability to withstand a certain pH value; strong tensile strength, puncture resistance, and not easy to damage; good flexibility and hand feel, easy to wear, comfortable; with antistatic properties.

PVC gloves are mainly used in household cleaning, electronics, chemicals, aquaculture, glass, food and other factory protection, hospitals, scientific research and other industries; widely used in semiconductors, precision electronic components and instrumentation installation, laboratories, hospitals, beauty salons, etc. field.  Disposable PE gloves are mainly used for household cleaning, food hygiene, industrial and agricultural protection, hair dyeing, nursing, washing, dining, etc.

Compared with PVC, TPE is more resistant to high and low temperatures and has better elasticity. In recent years, environmental protection calls are getting higher and higher. Therefore, TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer with energy saving and environmental protection, has begun to replace PVC in many fields.
