What are the differences between polyethylene, vinyl, polyurethane, neoprene, and PVC supported aprons & sleeves?
Each material is designed for use in a variety of industries and applications. Polyethylene aprons & sleeves are disposable; they are relatively thin and inexpensive. They are designed for use in the food handling and serving sectors. These aprons & sleeves are not meant for uses where chemical resistance is required. Vinyl aprons & sleeves are stronger and more durable than polyethylene aprons & sleeves. They are somewhat resistant to chemicals, but an analysis would have to be completed to ensure that they are resistant to the chemical being used. They are also suitable for use in the foodservice & handling and industrial maintenance sectors. Polyurethane aprons and sleeves exhibit high levels of resilience; even after being exposed to high tension, the material will return to its original shape. These aprons & sleeves are more cost effective than ones made from either polyethylene or vinyl and are easily cleaned after use. Aprons & sleeves manufactured from polyurethane are designed
