20 years ago,we only have PE Gloves in the market of food contact,it contains HDPE and LDPE Gloves,HDPE is harder and thinner, LDPE is softer and stronger.From 2000,CPE Gloves has appeared on the market, mainly for Japanese food market, because it is thicker and much stronger than PE Gloves,very fit for food factories, that workers need to wear them whole day or half days.If you use PE Gloves,it must be broken,because it is not strong enough.
PE,CPE,TPE Gloves’main material is LDPE,LLDPE and some MLLDPE,nearly the same,but different manufacturing.PE Gloves is stamped from blowing film,blowing machine is not very stable,but can blow very thin film. The machines are much cheaper than casting film machines.CPE and TPE Gloves are stamped from casting film. Casting film machine can produce as thin as 18 micron, and the thickness and quality can be very stable, much better than blowing machine, machines are also much bigger than blowing film machines.Because different film manufacturing,it cause totally different performance.PE Gloves is cheaper, thinner but won’t very strong,because the film is cooled down by air, not speedy and not stretched by rolls. CPE and TPE Gloves are much stronger than PE, but more expensive than it, and can’t be so thinner.TPE Gloves are called second generation of CPE gloves too, because it developed from CPE Gloves.Different material and different manufacturing makes it much stronger than CPE Gloves, even stronger than PVC Gloves, near Nitrile. The tensile is above 3.6N and 500% if the glove weight is above 3.0 gram, so it is welcome in food factories.
After 20 years market select,HDPE,LDPE,CPE,TPE gloves are popular in the world market.HDPE Gloves are mainly used in daily use, such as food contact, food prepare, garden, labs, a kind of real simple use one time. LDPE Gloves is softer,mainly used in hair dye and salon, because it also strong enough, and water proof, water test can be approved AQL 1.5 too.CPE Gloves are mainly supplied for food factories, can use a whole day and not broken. TPE Gloves are mainly used in food factories too, and can take place of PVC Gloves, and much cheaper than them!
