Loose-Fitting Polyethylene Disposable Gloves

Slip these gloves on and off—they’re roomier than latex gloves, so they’re quicker to put on but offer less tactility. To help offset that loss of feel, they have a textured surface that improves grip. Plus, the inside is powder-free, so contaminants won’t shed into your work. These gloves are often worn for food handling and other low-precision tasks. The thicker the glove, the more it resists punctures and tears.
Gloves that are FDA compliant are safe to use in direct contact with food.
High-Dexterity Cut-Protection Gloves

Gloves that feel light but work hard. Our thinnest cut-protection gloves give you the dexterity and control of lightweight gloves with the cut resistance of heavier ones. They're trusted daily by the McMaster-Carr warehouse team. These gloves are rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance.
Choose a cut rating: The ANSI cut rating measures how much force is needed to cut through the glove with a standardized blade; higher ratings mean more protection.
• A5–A6: For regular contact with cutting blades, utility knives, and sharp wire.
• A9: Maximum cut and puncture resistance. Stands up to needles, spikes, and heavy sharp-edge exposure.
Choose a coating:
• Nitrile: More abrasion-resistant and stands up to oils and many chemicals. Choose this for heavier-duty tasks or wet/oily environments.
