Natural rubber latex

• Very flexible and elastic
• Excellent grip
• Excellent resistance to tearing
• Good resistance to abrasion
• Durable
• Good resistance to weak acids, alkalis, alcohols and detergents
• Excellent cold resistance

• Very poor resistance to oils, greases, and hydrocarbons
• Proteins may cause allergies

Nitrile rubber

• Excellent resistance to abrasion, cut and puncture
• Durable
• Excellent resistance to oils, greases and fuels
• Good resistance to alkalis, alcohols, and certain organic solvents
• Heat resistance (but no flame resistance)
• No latex proteins

• More rigid
• Poor cold resistance

Polyurethane(PU)

• Breathable thanks to porous ventilation
• Good grip performance
• Very flexible
• Good cold resistance
• No latex proteins

• Risk of liquid penetration
• Poor resistance to hot water

Polyvinyl chloride(PVC)

• Excellent resistance to abrasion
• Softened material
• Good electrical insulator
• Good resistance to acids, alkalis, and detergents
• Good resistance to oils and fuels(oil resistance PVC grade)
• Cold resistance

• Poor resistance to cut and puncture
• Poor resistance to organic solvents
• Poor heat resistance
