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

        • 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

       • Exhibits excellent resilience.
       • Provides dependable protection against various chemicals and potential contamination from bodily fluids.
