Latex gloves in black have become indispensable in the catering industry. Black latex gloves fulfil a number of purposes at once. The black latex gloves not only protect the hands; they also ensure hygienic food handling by preventing skin contact.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is obtained from rubber trees, making it the only natural material used in manufacturing single-use gloves. Its excellent characteristics promise comfortable wear. That is why latex cannot yet be completely replaced, despite extensive research into alternative materials. Latex gloves are mainly found in clinics and health care facilities, doctors' or dentists' surgeries and care homes, as well as in food production and processing (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferred here). Latex is a more affordable alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex disposable gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
The material is slightly thicker - this single-use product is between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm thick (medium thickness), meaning that it is more resistant to punctures than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot. This disposable glove/finger cot is much sturdier and more durable than thinner items composed of this material.Quality of the latex gloves
These latex protective gloves from the Style by Med-Comfort brand are "premium" quality. AMPri exclusively sells products of either a very solid basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "classic" quality or top-notch "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, disposable glove is ambidextrous (can be worn on the left or the right hand). It has no extra length, which means it does not provide splash protection. The latex protective gloves gloves are fully textured, meaning they have a significantly more effective grip than other non-textured or partially textured disposable gloves. This product features the special attribute "extra grip". As category III personal protective equipment in line with the PPE Regulation ((EU) 2016/425), they provide protection from health hazards that are permanent or potentially fatal. Medical devices are categorised according to the potential risk they pose to the patient. Class I comprises products that pose little or no risk. And exactly those criteria are fulfilled by these latex protective gloves. The latex disposable gloves are non-sterile; as a result, they cannot be used in sterile applications. The production quality can be determined by the AQL value, i.e. the acceptable quality level. For disposable medical gloves, the AQL is 1.5 or less, which is exactly what these latex disposable gloves meet.Our suggestions for how latex protective gloves should be used
These latex gloves are appropriate for handling food. They are particularly intended for food containing alcohol, greasy food, acidic food, dry food and watery food. Protection from microorganisms is a primary feature of these disposable gloves. The latex gloves keep the user safe from viruses, bacteria and fungi. Chemical protection type B indicates that the latex disposable gloves offer protection against permeation in accordance with the important EN 374 standard. It states the minimum penetration time for a certain number of chemicals from a list of specified test chemicals. Type A = 6 test chemicals/30 minutes, Type B = 3 test chemicals/30 minutes, Type C = 1 test chemical/10 minutes. The gloves are also airtight and watertight. Consequently, we recommend latex gloves for these sectors: occupational safety, government authorities, education, other medicine, industry, close-contact services, hospitals and the food industry.

- Latex is a purely natural product and is incredibly supple.
- Latex provides good tactile sensitivity.
- It also protects against many acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex
- Crop yields and raw material prices have an immediate impact on the market price of latex, which can be variable and unstable as a result.
- Latex protective gloves are known for triggering allergies because they contain water-soluble proteins that might irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, especially in the case of powdered single-use gloves or finger cots.
- Latex disposable gloves and finger cots are not suitable for handling oils or solvents, as these substances can immediately penetrate the material.
