01012-M Latex protective gloves, M, white, (latex paint)
We recommend blue and white latex gloves for the food industry, close-contact services, other medicine, hospitals, industry, education, government authorities and occupational safety. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex gloves, as complete latex gloves or sections of latex gloves can be found quickly and without much effort.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is harvested from rubber trees, making it the only natural material used in manufacturing single-use gloves. Its excellent properties promise comfortable wear. For this reason, latex cannot yet be completely replaced, despite extensive research into alternative materials. Latex gloves are primarily found in clinics and health care facilities, doctors' or dentists' surgeries and nursing homes, as well as in food production and processing (to a limited extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferred here). Latex is a cost-effective alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex gloves in material thickness: "thin"
The thin material is between 0.05 and a maximum of 0.09 mm thick and ensures very good tactile sensitivity. The breakthrough time of this single-use product is longer than it would be in an ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot made of the same material, and the product is also more reliable and harder-wearing.Quality of the latex gloves
These latex protective gloves from the Basic-Plus brand are "basic" quality. AMPri exclusively sells products of either a very reliable basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "classic" quality or impressive "premium" quality. The powdered, non-sterile, disposable glove is ambidextrous (can be worn on either hand). It does not have additional length, which means it does not offer splash protection. The latex disposable gloves gloves are fully textured, so they provide a significantly better grip than other non-textured or partially textured disposable gloves. This product features the special characteristic "extra grip". The Latex gloves are also ideal for protecting against risks that can lead to extremely serious consequences, such as death or irreversible harm to health. Consequently, they are classified as category III PPE under the EU PPE Regulation. Medical devices are categorised in terms of the potential risk they pose to the patient. Class I encompasses items that pose little or no risk. And that is precisely the case for these latex gloves. These latex gloves are only designated for non-sterile use. The AQL value represents the quality standard of a batch or lot (acceptable quality limit). For medical disposable gloves, this value for tightness may be a maximum of 1.5, whereby the following generally applies: the lower the AQL value, the more convincing the production. These latex gloves meet the requirements with an AQL value of 1.5.We recommend latex gloves for the following applications
Latex protective gloves are especially appropriate for acidic food and dry food and, consequently, are approved for food handling in general. The latex disposable gloves offer protection from microorganisms and are consequently resistant to viruses, bacteria and fungi. Chemical protection type B indicates that the latex disposable gloves provide protection from penetration as defined by the crucial EN 374 standard. It defines the minimum penetration time for a specific 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. We therefore recommend latex disposable gloves for the following sectors: the food industry, close-contact services, other medicine, hospitals, industry, education, government authorities and occupational safety. If you have any questions about the potential uses of these latex disposable gloves or are wondering if they are the right solution for your requirements, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via the contact form!The advantages of latex
- Latex is a natural product of rubber trees; it is very supple and hard-wearing.
- Latex provides optimal tactile sensitivity.
- Latex protective gloves and finger cots are impervious to a wide range of acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex
- As a natural raw material, latex is tied to harvest quantities and raw material prices. This can cause price fluctuations.
- If used often, latex is more likely to trigger allergies because of the water-soluble proteins it contains. Latex protective gloves are not recommended for people who suffer from allergies. The powder on powdered latex gloves is also a potential hazard because it can aggravate the mucous membranes of the respiratory system.
- Oils and solvents can easily penetrate latex protective gloves and finger cots, so latex is not intended for handling such substances.
