01012-S Latex protective gloves, S, white
We often recommend white and blue latex protective gloves for occupational safety, government authorities, education, industry, hospitals, other medicine, close-contact services and the food industry. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex protective gloves, as complete latex protective gloves or sections of latex protective gloves are easy to find quickly.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a substance that can be obtained naturally from rubber trees and used for manufacturing disposable gloves - unlike nitrile or vinyl, which are made from artificial raw materials. Latex also has outstanding natural characteristics, so latex protective gloves fit the hand smoothly and are extremely comfortable to wear. As a result, these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in sectors where latex protective 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 care facilities, and also to a certain degree in food production and processing (to a limited extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferable here). Latex is a more affordable alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex gloves in material thickness: "thin"
Thanks to the thin material (0.05 mm to a maximum of 0.09 mm in thickness), this product offers good tactile sensitivity, and the breakthrough time is higher than in an ultra-thin single-use glove or finger cot of identical material. This skin-protection product is also stronger and longer-lasting than thinner single-use products.Quality of the latex protective gloves
These latex disposable gloves from the Basic-Plus brand are "basic" quality. AMPri only sells products of either a very solid basic standard of quality, a more upscale "classic" quality or top-notch "premium" quality. The powdered, 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 offer splash protection. The latex gloves gloves are fully textured, meaning they have a significantly more effective grip than other non-textured or partially textured disposable gloves. "Extra grip" is a special feature of these latex protective gloves. As category III personal protective equipment as defined by the PPE Regulation ((EU) 2016/425), they protect against health hazards that are irreversible or potentially fatal. The fact that these disposable gloves are labelled as a class I medical device means they pose little or no risk to wearers or patients, as the latex gloves have no effect on the body when worn for brief periods. These latex disposable gloves are only suitable for non-sterile use. The AQL (acceptable quality limit) is the highest allowed number of faulty (permeable) individual samples in a batch or lot (performance level/AQL). For single-use medical gloves, an AQL level for impermeability of no more than 1.5 is prescribed in the EN 455-1 standard - which the Latex gloves fulfil precisely.Our suggestions for how latex protective gloves should be used
Latex protective gloves are particularly appropriate for acidic food and dry food and, consequently, are intended for food handling in general. Protection from microorganisms is a primary feature of these disposable gloves. The latex gloves protect against viruses, bacteria and fungi. Chemical protection type B signifies that the latex disposable gloves provide protection against penetration according to the important EN 374 standard. It lays out 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 protective gloves for the following sectors: occupational safety, government authorities, education, industry, hospitals, other medicine, close-contact services and the food industry. If you have any questions about the potential uses of these latex protective 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 benefits of latex in protecting the skin
- Latex is a completely natural product and is highly supple.
- The tactile sensitivity is excellent.
- Latex gloves and finger cots also keep the wearer safe from numerous acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex in protecting the hands
- Harvest quantities and raw material prices have an immediate impact on the market price of latex, which can be inconsistent and unpredictable as a result.
- Latex protective gloves are known as allergenic because they contain water-soluble proteins that might aggravate the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, especially in the case of powdered single-use gloves or finger cots.
- Latex protective gloves are oil- and solvent-permeable and, as a result, they should not be used for handling these substances.
