Polyethylene (PE), known for its versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, has become an important material for manufacturing a variety of products, especially gloves. This article will delve into the characteristics of PE, its various types, and its applications in glove manufacturing.

What is Polyethylene (PE)?

PE, or polyethylene, is a thermoplastic resin obtained through the polymerization of ethylene. It is odorless, non-toxic, and exhibits excellent low-temperature resistance, with a minimum operating temperature ranging from -100 to -70°C. It also boasts good chemical stability and resistance to most acids and alkalis, except for oxidizing acids. The term “polyethylene resin” encompasses a broad category of polymers using ethylene as the monomer, and different types of polyethylene have distinct characteristics, finding application in various scenarios. Based on the polymerization method, molecular weight, and chain structure, it is classified into high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and others.

INTCO PE Glove Products

Our range of PE gloves encompasses innovative solutions tailored to meet the varying demands of various industries and applications. Each glove variant boasts meticulous design and superior material composition, ensuring optimal performance and user comfort.

Disposable TPE Gloves

This unique construction not only facilitates seamless wearing but also imparts exceptional puncture resistance, tensile strength, and elongation capabilities. Ideal for demanding environments where durability and protection are paramount.

Disposable CPE Gloves

The gloves’ surface is embossed, presenting a tactilely appealing concave-convex pattern that ensures effortless donning and a soft, comfortable feel. Coupled with exceptional heat sealing properties and superior elongation, INTCO Medical disposable CPE gloves are the epitome of practicality and performance.

Disposable LDPE Gloves

Purity and clarity meet softness in our LDPE glove, which is primarily composed of LDPE and LLDPE. Disposable LDPE gloves exude high brightness and impeccable transparency, making them visually appealing. Their soft touch adds to the overall user experience, though it’s worth noting that they may exhibit slight stickiness and limited opening properties in certain conditions. Nonetheless, they remain a popular choice for applications that prioritize visual clarity and gentle handling.

PE gloves are widely used in many industries and daily life. In laboratories, PE gloves can prevent the ingress of chemicals and contaminants; in the beauty and salon industries, PE gloves can provide a gentle touch during treatment. In addition, PE gloves are also commonly used for household cleaning, gardening and handicrafts, providing convenient and cost-effective solutions for various work scenarios.

Other PE Products from INTCO MEDICAL

In addition to gloves, PE is also used in various other products such as CPE isolation clothing, LDPE/HDPE aprons, shoe covers, and printed gloves. These products offer features like waterproofing, oil resistance, soft touch, and durability.

PE product selection tips

The advantages of PE products include cost-effectiveness, good mechanical properties, and the ability to meet specific application requirements. When choosing PE products, factors such as the intended use, performance requirements, and cost should be considered. For example, when selecting PE gloves, if high strength and puncture resistance are required, TPE or CPE gloves may be the first choice. If transparency is critical, LDPE gloves may be a better choice.

In conclusion, PE products offer a wide range of options to meet diverse industrial and consumer needs, and understanding their properties and production processes can help in making informed choices.
