Disposable polyethylene (PE) gloves are disposable sanitary gloves made of polyethylene (PE) blown film as raw material and heat-synthesized. Suitable for human body surface (not contacting wound surface).

1. Polyethylene (PE for short) is a thermoplastic resin made by polymerization of ethylene. In industry, it also includes copolymers of ethylene and a small amount of α-olefins. 
2. Polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, feels like wax, has excellent low-temperature resistance, and good chemical stability, and can withstand most acid and alkali corrosion. 

PE gloves have the following characteristics:
1. High transparency: PE material has good transparency, which can help users observe the hand operation and improve the accuracy of hand operation.

2. Lightweight and flexible: PE material has the characteristics of lightweight and flexible, which is more comfortable to use and not easy to fatigue.

3. Good corrosion resistance: PE material has good corrosion resistance and is not easily corroded by chemicals.

4. Good waterproofness: PE material has good waterproofness and can effectively protect the hands from external liquid erosion.

Polyethylene PE gloves meet the food hygiene certification standards and can usually be directly in contact with food. Therefore, PE gloves can be used to eat, such as wearing polyethylene gloves to eat crayfish and crabs, which is relatively hygienic and will not affect health. Although polyethylene gloves can be directly in contact with food, they are usually not used to eat after being contaminated. For example, if polyethylene gloves are placed improperly and exposed to outdoor polluted environments for a long time, the gloves may have been contaminated by bacteria, viruses, dust, etc. At this time, eating with polyethylene gloves may cause food to be contaminated, and may also cause pollutants to enter the body, which may have adverse effects on health, such as causing viral infections, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

For the health of the body, in addition to purchasing safe tableware, you should also maintain a regular schedule and avoid living in a bad living environment, such as an environment with severe haze and an environment with severe irritating odors.
