SG Gloves: An Overview of Raw Materials

In the realm of the medical sector, the choice of raw material for glove production is paramount. This is due to the rigorous demands of medical procedures that often necessitate the use of sharp instruments, potentially compromising the glove’s integrity. A multitude of raw materials have emerged as foundational elements in the creation of gloves:

Latex Gloves

• Source: Predominantly derived from natural rubber.
• Features:
    • Offers unparalleled flexibility and softness.
    • Demonstrates strong durability and ensures a comfortable fit.

• Production: Currently, Asia leads in global latex production, contributing to 90%.
• Variety: Available in diverse colors to cater to different preferences and professional settings.
• Caveat: While latex is a natural substance, it poses the potential for type I allergic reactions.

Nitrile Gloves

• Source: Constructed from acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), a combination of organic chemical compounds.
• Features:
• Latex-free, making them a perfect fit for those with latex allergies.
• Contains minimal chemical vulcanization accelerators.
• Possesses commendable resistance to various chemicals.
• Advantage: The reduced chemical accelerator content drastically cuts down the likelihood of a type IV allergic reaction.

Vinyl Gloves

• Source: Crafted from plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a widely recognized material.
• Features:
• Exhibits excellent resilience.
• Provides dependable protection against various chemicals and potential contamination from bodily fluids.

• Utility: These gloves, while not the most robust in protection, are often certified for food contact (PZH certified), showcasing their safety in food-related contexts.
Each material presents its own unique benefits, and the choice often hinges on the specific requirements of the task at hand and the preferences of the user.
