Nisbets Essentials Powder-Free TPE Gloves Blue 200 Pack
£6.24(£7.49 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
These blue powder-free gloves are made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a material commonly used in catering as a cost-effective alternative to vinyl. The TPE formulation offers more stretch than standard vinyl, which makes the gloves more comfortable during extended food preparation tasks and reduces the likelihood of tearing during use.
The embossed finish across the glove surface improves grip in both wet and dry conditions — a practical consideration in food prep environments where hands frequently come into contact with wet ingredients, sauces, or chilled items. The blue colour also supports compliance with colour-coded food hygiene practices, helping kitchen teams identify gloves quickly during busy service.
Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:
- Powder-free formulation reduces contamination risk during food handling
- Embossed texture supports grip with wet or slippery items
- TPE material provides more stretch than standard vinyl for a better fit
- Blue colouring aids compliance with colour-coded hygiene systems
- 200 gloves per box reduces reorder frequency in high-turnover kitchens
These gloves are well suited to general food preparation, portioning, and light handling tasks. They are not intended for use with high-heat applications or as chemical-resistant protection. For operations requiring a higher specification — such as allergen-handling protocols that call for a specific material certification — it is worth reviewing whether TPE meets your particular requirements.
If you are unsure which glove type or size is most appropriate for your team's workload, we are happy to help you work through the options.
Frequently asked questions
Are these gloves suitable for allergen handling in a commercial kitchen?
TPE gloves are commonly used for general food preparation, but allergen handling protocols vary between kitchens and may require specific material certifications. If your operation has strict allergen management requirements, it is worth checking whether TPE meets your internal procedures or environmental health guidance before committing to a particular glove type.
How do I choose the right size for my kitchen team?
These gloves are available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. For mixed kitchen teams, many operators keep a stock of Medium and Large to cover the majority of staff, with smaller or larger sizes ordered as needed. The TPE material has reasonable stretch, but sizing to hand length and width will give a more secure and comfortable fit during extended use.
Can these gloves be used near heat sources or hot equipment?
No — TPE gloves are not heat-resistant and should not be used when handling hot cookware, oven trays, or equipment. They are intended for food preparation and cold or ambient handling tasks only. For tasks involving heat, appropriate heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts should be used instead.
