With that being said, these gloves are manufactured to the specifications of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Vinyl Gloves are not smooth on the surface. To make the glove smoother, cornstarch is added to the glove. You will find that the powdered Vinyl gloves will be a touch cheaper than the ones that are not powdered.
