The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a material that can be obtained naturally from rubber trees and used for manufacturing disposable gloves - in contrast to nitrile or vinyl, which are made from artificial raw materials. Latex also has excellent natural characteristics, so latex protective gloves fit the hand snugly and are extremely comfortable to wear. Consequently, these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in fields where latex protective gloves are worn for numerous processes and day-to-day tasks, such as in clinics and health care facilities, in doctor's or dentist's offices and in care facilities, and also to some degree 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 of medium thickness, measuring in at between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm. This makes it less likely to puncture than a thin or ultra-thin single-use glove or finger cot of identical material. This disposable glove/finger cot is significantly sturdier and harder-wearing than thinner products made of this material.Quality of the latex disposable gloves
These latex gloves from the Med-Comfort brand are "premium" quality. AMPri exclusively offers products of either a very consistent basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "classic" quality or top-notch "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, single-use glove is ambidextrous (can be used on either hand). It does not have additional length, which means it does not provide splash protection. The latex disposable gloves gloves are fully textured, meaning they have a much better grip than other non-textured or partially textured disposable gloves. This product features the special attribute "extra grip". Category I for personal protective equipment (as defined by the EU PPE Regulation) only includes work equipment that protects the user against minor health risks. These latex protective gloves fulfil the defined criteria by protecting the user's skin from mildly corrosive cleaning solutions, for example. In addition, the latex disposable gloves have a CE marking labelling them as a class I medical device. This classification mainly includes products that have no impact on the human body and pose minimal risk. These latex protective gloves are only approved for non-sterile use.Our recommendations for how latex disposable gloves should be used
These latex protective gloves are suitable for handling food. They are particularly intended for food containing alcohol, greasy food, acidic food, dry food and watery food. We therefore recommend latex disposable gloves for the following sectors: occupational safety, government authorities, education, hospitals, food industry service, industry, close-contact services and other medicine. If you have any questions about the potential uses of these latex disposable gloves or are unsure if they are the right choice for you, please feel free to get in touch with us via the contact form!The advantages of latex
- Latex is a purely natural product and is highly elastic.
- The tactile sensitivity is ideal.
- Latex gloves and finger cots also keep the wearer safe from a wide range of acids and alkalis.
The disadvantages of latex in protecting the hands
- Unfortunately, price fluctuations are always a possibility, as latex is a natural raw material that is tied to harvest yields and market prices.
- Water-soluble proteins contained in latex can cause allergies if the gloves are worn frequently. In addition to the latex products themselves, the powder on the latex protective gloves or finger cots (powdered version) is also a major trigger of allergies.
- Oils and solvents can immediately permeate latex protective gloves and finger cots, which is why latex is not intended for handling such substances.
