There is a difference between supported and unsupported gloves. Supported glove is made with fabric linings that provide support to a protective outer coating such as nitrile, latex, neoprene, and PVC. They are made by dipping or cutting and sewing. Unsupported glove is typically designed from latex, nitrile, and vinyl and features no lining underneath. Ceramic formers with embossed grip patterns are dipped directly into protective polymers. Generally, unsupported gloves are available in palm thicknesses that range from 11 to 30 mil.
