Standard NBR latex can meet many glove applications.

However, some manufacturers have specific requirements that call for a more targeted material solution.

Requirements may relate to:

• Film strength

• Elongation

• Flexibility

• Viscosity

• Total solids

• Adhesion

• Surface properties

• Odor

• Processing stability

Customization starts with understanding the application.

Before developing a material, it is useful to understand:

What glove is being produced?

What problem needs to be solved?

What production conditions are being used?

Which finished-glove property needs improvement?

This information helps define a clearer development target.

At RUICO, NBR latex development can be discussed around specific glove applications and production requirements.

The objective is not simply to create a different latex.

It is to develop a material with characteristics that are relevant to the customer's actual production needs.
