Latex gloves are named according to the material. Latex is a liquid after processing the resin of the rubber tree (usually 60% latex content). It is usually called natural latex and its color is milky white. Gloves produced from this latex are called latex gloves.
(1) There are usually two types of latex gloves:
A kind of gloves made entirely of latex. Such as common medical disposable latex gloves and latex gloves for food processing. The color of these gloves is usually made with pigments according to people’s preferences, such as black, red, yellow, etc., and the medical ones are latex-coloured.
The length of the gloves ranges from wrist-length (usually 26 cm), to the elbow (usually 43 cm long), and some are half-sleeve length 36 cm. The thickness of the gloves depends on the job. For example, medical gloves are very thin. These gloves are made of pure latex without commonly used fillers such as light calcium carbonate powder. The more calcium carbonate powder is added, the thicker the glove will be and the relative weight of the glove will be greater. The phenomenon of adding more calcium carbonate powder will make the gloves harder. Therefore, if latex content is the same, the softer the latex gloves, the better.
The second type is latex gloves with lining, https://fsworkgloves.com/latex-work-gloves/ , latex gloves made of different liner and latex. The common ones are palm coated (or dipped in rubber) and fully coated. Palm coated gloves generally have latex rubber on the palms and no latex on the backs of the hands. The fully coated gloves have rubber on the palm and back of the hand.
Commonly used gloves include cotton gloves with latex rubber and knitted fabric-lined latex gloves.
(2) The basic production process of latex gloves:
- For pure latex, use a glove mold to soak in the vulcanized latex liquid for a moment, take it out and dry it in a drying oven, then package it and put it on the market.
- For lined latex coated gloves, first put the lined gloves on the glove mold, then put them into the vulcanized latex liquid for a moment, take them out, dry them in a drying oven, and then package them for sale.
(3) Appearance of latex gloves:
In addition to the above appearance, latex gloves usually have smooth and wrinkled ones. Smooth ones have not been wrinkled. Because wrinkled latex gloves cannot be used for certain operations, the function of wrinkled latex gloves is mainly to prevent slipping, which means that some Work gloves need to be non-slip. For example, if you wear gloves to pick up cartons, it is best to wear wrinkled latex gloves to prevent your hands from slipping when grabbing cartons.
(4) How to judge the quality of gloves？
1.For latex gloves, the quality of gloves made of full latex mainly depends on the softness and tensile strength of the hand. The softer the glove, the longer the tensile strength, the better the glove. Secondly, the wear resistance.
2. For lined latex coated gloves, if the latex content of the gloves is the same, it mainly depends on whether the gloves are degummed. The gloves are durable if they are not degummed. The test method is to find a gripping point along the outer rubber of the gloves and tear off the rubber with your hands. , if it can be gently removed from the lining, it is not a durable glove. Once used, the rubber will easily fall off and leave the lining of the glove without being worn. Such gloves are not durable. Furthermore, the gloves may appear to have thick latex rubber on the outside, but often too much calcium powder is added. Such gloves make the fingers hard and not soft when worn, so the hands are not flexible when working.
(5) Gloves name association:
It should be noted here that dipped gloves are actually latex coated gloves. They are named according to the production process of the gloves. As the name implies, latex gloves are named according to the material.
Secondly, some are also called labor protection gloves, because the naming of labor protection gloves is based on the function of the gloves. That is to say, gloves used in people’s labor protection are called labor protection gloves.
Secondly, some are called protective gloves. Because gloves can provide people with labor protection, people gave the gloves another name: protective gloves.
