Disposable gloves made from TPE
TPE stands for thermoplastic elastomers, a silicone-like material that is silicone-free. The TPE disposable gloves also contain no plasticisers or latex proteins. They are therefore also suitable for allergy sufferers. TPE gloves are soft, skin-friendly and odourless and offer good tactile sensitivity.

Comparison of TPE disposable gloves with others
Compared to disposable gloves made of nitrile, vinyl or latex, TPE disposable gloves are particularly suitable for handling greasy foodstuffs and are particularly favourable in price. Compared to vinyl gloves, they do not contain any plasticisers, but are still soft and comfortable to wear. However, the fit and tactile sensitivity of nitrile and latex gloves is slightly better than that of TPE gloves.
