CPE Gloves

What CPE Gloves are Made Of

CPE gloves are made of polyethylene, a kind of resin (i.e., organic compound) created during the polymerization process of ethynylene.

Polyethylene is known as a “commodity” resin since it can be produced in high volumes at low costs. It’s also the most commonly used kind of plastic in the world.

Many other products are made of polyethylene including food wrap, detergent bottles, and shopping bags, among others.

CPE Glove Markets & Industries

CPE gloves are designed for the food service and food processing industries.

When to Use CPE Gloves

CPE gloves are a great alternative for vinyl gloves or latex gloves.

(In fact, when Ohio banned the use of latex gloves in food service operations and retail food establishments this past March, they specifically listed polyethylene gloves as a good alternative for latex gloves.)

CPE Glove Characteristics

CPE gloves offer many positive benefits – most notably their durability. They also tend to weigh more in grams than TPE gloves.
