Vinyl examination gloves are the economical, latex-free option for short-duration, lower-risk tasks across healthcare-adjacent, care-home, food-handling and general settings. This page covers the specification, AQL, classification and certification of a quality powder-free vinyl glove.
We supply powder-free PVC vinyl examination gloves at AQL 1.5, latex-free and CE-marked, sourced from ISO 9001-certified manufacturing. Available in bulk by the container and under private label — the cost-efficient choice where nitrile's chemical resistance is not required.
| Specification | Standard / option | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Material | PVC (latex-free) | No latex-allergy risk; lowest cost |
| Quality level | AQL 1.5 | Examination-grade defect threshold |
| Powder | Powder-free | Preferred for food contact and clean handling |
| Sizes | S–XL; clear or blue | Clear suits food-service visibility |
| HS heading | 3926.20 (articles of plastics) | Note: PVC gloves classify as plastic, not rubber |
A point many first-time buyers miss: because vinyl gloves are PVC rather than rubber, they classify under heading 3926.20 (articles of plastics), not the 4015 rubber-glove headings used for nitrile and latex. That can mean a different duty line and a different tariff-preference treatment for the same shipment — confirm the vinyl line separately with your broker rather than assuming it follows your nitrile classification.
Vinyl is the right specification for short, low-risk, high-turnover tasks: food handling, light cleaning, basic care, retail and reception. It is not intended for clinical procedures, exposure to hazardous chemicals, or prolonged barrier protection, where nitrile is required. Stocking vinyl alongside nitrile lets a distributor serve both the value and the clinical ends of the glove market from one supplier.
Packed 100 per box, 10 boxes per carton, roughly 1.4 million gloves per 20-foot container. Minimums start at 100,000 pieces. Own-brand packaging is supported.
Vinyl suits short, low-risk tasks and food handling; for clinical procedures or chemical exposure, nitrile is the correct specification.
Vinyl is PVC (plastic), classified under 3926.20, while nitrile and latex are rubber under 4015 — which can change the duty for your route.
Yes — fully latex-free, eliminating Type I latex-allergy risk.
