Vinyl is a step-up from polyethylene gloves. &nbsp;They are stronger and more durable, fit tighter and are more flexible which provides good sensitivity and dexterity. Their slightly loose fit allows the glove to breathe, so applications where gloves are worn for a periods of time are ideal for this glove. &nbsp;Vinyl gloves are most-often used in the food service industry (food preparation and busboy cleaning) while professionals in cosmetics, medical and cleaning services use them as well. Around the home, vinyl gloves are ideal for meal preparation, messy tasks, light cleaning, personal care, pet care, painting, arts and crafts. Vinyl is an economical alternative to latex and nitrile gloves.</p>
