Pe Cpe Tpe Gloves Difference

The difference between PE gloves, CPE gloves and TPE gloves

PE is short for polyethylene, and there are many types of PE gloves, including HDPE gloves, LDPE gloves, CPE gloves and TPE gloves. So what is the difference between them

PE gloves — LDPE and HDPE gloves

PE gloves are the cheapest disposable plastic gloves on the market. The price is the main reason why it sells well.

Both our HDPE and LDPE gloves are made of food grade plastic resin material. It can come into direct contact with food.

Why PE gloves are cheaper than CPE and TPE gloves? PE gloves can be blown very thin, so the price is better for customers. Fast food restaurants and eateries are the main users of PE gloves.

CPE gloves — cast polyethylene gloves

CPE gloves were invented for the food service and food processing industries. It is a great alternative to vinyl or latex gloves. CPE gloves offer many positive benefits — most notably their durability. They also tend to be heavier than TPE gloves.

Workers can use a pair of CPE gloves all day without breaking them. It fits the hand well. That’s something PE gloves can’t do.

TPE gloves — a step up from CPE

TPE gloves are an upgraded version of CPE gloves. The different materials and different manufacturing make it stronger than CPE gloves and even stronger than PVC gloves, close to nitrile. The tensile strength can reach 3.6N and 500% if the glove weight is above 3.0g. It is used by food factories.
