Disposable Latex and Natural Rubber Gloves
Latex gloves are manufactured using a
milky fluid derived from the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. A
variety of chemicals are added to this fluid during the processing and
manufacturing of a latex glove.
Protective gloves are most closely
associated with medical and dental laboratory use. However since these
types of gloves are excellent in protecting your hands from a number
of chemicals, latex gloves are now widely used in a number of
industries and have become common in the household.
Before purchasing any type of glove,
whether it be latex, nitrile, or vinyl, you have to ask yourself a few
things
• What amount of protection are you
looking for?
• Are you allergic to any materials
that the glove is made from?
• The quality of the glove and how
it's made?
• Powdered or Unpowdered?
• The comfort of the glove?
• The size of the glove?
