What is Vynite?
Vynite gloves are made from a specialist blend of vinyl materials (see vinyl ingredients) and nitrile materials (see nitrile ingredients). This means that vynite gloves offer the same great benefits of vinyl and nitrile gloves and provide a workable alternative to latex and pure nitrile gloves.
Can you be allergic to Vynite?
As with all chemicals, allergic reactions may occur when using vynite gloves. These reactions can be caused by the ingredients of vinyl (polymers) and the accelerators used in nitrile. As with any reaction that can result in red and itchy skin, please discard and seek an alternative glove type.
