Summary:Nov 26,2020

There are four main types of rubber gloves: latex, nitrile, polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as vinyl), and polychloroprene (commonly known as neoprene).

Latex gloves are made from natural rubber. Rubber tree sap is harvested and preserved with ammonia, then purified and concentrated to get rid of water and impurities. After mixing it with additional processing chemicals, latex is ready to use for gloves.

 

Vinyl gloves are best for low risk situations, as they do not provide much protection from micro-organisms. These are the least expensive type of glove, but they do not fit as well as other types.  

 

Nitrile gloves come from nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), a copolymer. Acrylonitrile and butadiene are combined in a copolymerization process to create this material.

 

Neoprene gloves are made up of a combination of chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen, crosslinked as polymers using sulfur. These gloves are not as commonly used, but they combine the properties of latex and nitrile.

 

Medical gloves can come with coatings or treatments such as polymer coating, but they cannot have powder on them according to FDA guidelines.

 

RF-8848 is a modified acrylic copolymers emulsion, specially used for dipping coating as the inner lining of nitrile gloves.

The outstanding characteristics of this product are super soft, excellent chemical stability, high resistance to dinning.
