There is no single NBR latex specification that defines every successful glove application.

The starting point should be the finished glove.

Medical & Examination Gloves

Typical considerations include:

• Film uniformity

• Flexibility

• Tensile properties

• Film integrity

• Applicable regulatory requirements

Industrial Gloves

Typical considerations may include:

• Abrasion resistance

• Tear resistance

• Chemical resistance

• Grip

• Coating durability

Textured Gloves

Additional attention may be given to:

• Surface structure

• Grip

• Abrasion resistance

• Coating adhesion

Supported Gloves

The coating system may need to provide:

• Textile adhesion

• Controlled penetration

• Flexibility

• Coating durability

This application-first approach helps manufacturers avoid evaluating NBR latex based on one parameter alone.

RUICO develops and supplies NBR latex for different glove applications and supports customers in matching material characteristics with their production requirements.
