Designed for single-use, disposable gloves are suitable for
applications with incidental contact—i.e., little to no exposure with the
potential hazard. These types of situations include guarding against minor
spills, splashes, or overspray, protection against infectious agents, and
material contamination prevention.
As these gloves are typically made of thin material, such as
latex, neoprene, nitrile, and vinyl, they allow users to maintain some
sensitivity and dexterity in their hands. However, this characteristic also
makes them unsuitable for handling sharp and abrasive materials or strong
chemicals for extended periods as they offer little protection against tears,
punctures, or chemicals burns.
