01039-M Latex disposable gloves, M, white, (latex paint)
We recommend blue and white latex disposable gloves for education, other medicine, government authorities, hospitals, the food industry, close-contact services, industry and occupational safety. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex disposable gloves, as complete latex disposable gloves or sections of latex disposable gloves are easy to find quickly.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a material that can be harvested naturally from rubber trees and used for manufacturing single-use gloves - unlike nitrile or vinyl, which are made from artificial raw materials. Latex also has outstanding natural characteristics, so latex gloves fit the hand snugly and are very comfortable to wear. For this reason, these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in sectors where latex gloves are worn for many processes and day-to-day tasks, such as in clinics and health care facilities, in doctor's or dentist's surgeries and in nursing homes, and also in food production and processing (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferred here). Latex is an inexpensive alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex protective gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
The material is slightly thicker - this disposable product is between 0.09 mm and 0.16 mm thick (medium thickness), making it more resistant to punctures than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot. This disposable glove/finger cot is considerably sturdier and more durable than thinner products composed of this material.Quality of the latex protective gloves
These latex gloves from the Basic-Plus brand are of "basic" quality. AMPri exclusively sells products of either a very solid basic standard of quality, a more upscale "classic" quality or impressive "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, single-use glove is ambidextrous (can be used on either hand). It is not extra-long, which means it does not offer splash protection. These disposable gloves are fully textured. Fully textured latex disposable gloves have excellent non-slip properties and are an ideal choice if you need to work with slippery tools or materials. As category III personal protective equipment as defined by the PPE Regulation ((EU) 2016/425), they protect against health hazards that are permanent or can lead to death. In addition, the latex protective gloves have a CE marking that labels them as a class I medical device. This category mainly encompasses products that have no effect on the human body and pose minimal risk. The latex protective gloves are non-sterile; as a result, they are not designated for use 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 gloves meet.Our suggestions for how latex disposable gloves should be used
Latex disposable gloves are particularly appropriate for acidic food, dry food and watery food and, consequently, are intended for food handling in general. Protection from microorganisms is a primary characteristic of these single-use gloves. The latex protective gloves protect the wearer against viruses, bacteria and fungi. Chemical protection type B indicates that the latex protective gloves provide protection from permeation according to the crucial EN 374 standard. It defines the minimum penetration time for a certain number of chemicals from a list of defined 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 waterproof. We therefore recommend latex disposable gloves for the following sectors: education, other medicine, government authorities, hospitals, the food industry, close-contact services, industry 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 choice for you, please feel free to reach out to us via the contact form!The benefits of latex in protecting the hands
- Latex is a natural product of rubber trees; it is extremely flexible and durable.
- Latex allows for good tactile sensitivity.
- Latex protective gloves and finger cots are resistant to a wide range of acids and alkalis.
The disadvantages of latex
- Harvest quantities and raw material prices have an immediate impact on the market price of latex, which can be inconsistent and unstable as a result.
- Water-soluble proteins contained in latex can trigger allergies if the gloves are used regularly. Alongside the latex products themselves, the powder on the latex disposable gloves or finger cots (powdered version) is also a serious cause of allergies.
- Oils and solvents can immediately penetrate latex disposable gloves and finger cots, so latex is not approved for handling these substances.
