01038-S Latex disposable gloves, S, white, (latex paint)
We recommend blue and white latex disposable gloves for other medicine, government authorities, occupational safety, hospitals, education, industry, the food industry and close-contact services. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex disposable gloves, as whole latex disposable gloves or sections of latex disposable gloves can be found quickly and easily.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a substance that can be extracted naturally from rubber trees and used for producing single-use gloves - unlike nitrile or vinyl, which are made from synthetic raw materials. Latex also has outstanding natural characteristics, so latex disposable gloves fit the hand smoothly and are extremely comfortable to wear. That is why these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in fields where latex disposable gloves are worn for many processes and daily tasks, such as in clinics and health care facilities, in doctor's or dentist's offices and in nursing homes, and also to some degree in food production and processing (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferable here). Latex is a low-cost alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex 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), meaning that it is less likely to puncture than a thin or ultra-thin disposable glove or finger cot. This disposable glove/finger cot is much stronger and longer-lasting than thinner items made of this material.Quality of the latex protective gloves
These latex disposable gloves from the Eco-Plus brand are "classic" quality. AMPri exclusively offers products of either a very consistent basic standard of quality, a more upscale "classic" quality or superior "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, single-use glove is ambidextrous (can be used on the left or the right hand). It has no extra length, which means it does not offer splash protection. These single-use gloves are fingertip textured. Fingertip textured latex disposable gloves have first-rate non-slip properties and are ideal when working with slippery instruments or materials. The Latex disposable gloves provide significant added value because they protect against potentially fatal hazards or permanent adverse health effects, as they fulfil the criteria for category III personal protective equipment (PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425). Among other things, they prevent harmful substances and compounds from coming into contact with the skin and offer protection against cuts. Medical devices are categorised in terms of the potential risk they pose to the patient. Class I includes products that pose little or no risk. And that is precisely the case for these latex disposable gloves. These latex disposable gloves are only designated for non-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.We recommend latex gloves for these applications
Latex protective gloves are especially appropriate for dry food and watery food and, consequently, are intended for food handling in general. Protection from microorganisms is a primary feature of these disposable gloves. The latex protective gloves protect against viruses, bacteria and fungi. Chemical protection type B signifies that the latex gloves provide protection against penetration as defined by the important EN 374 standard. It lays out the minimum penetration time for a certain number of chemicals from a list of particular 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 these sectors: other medicine, government authorities, occupational safety, hospitals, education, industry, the food industry and close-contact services. If you have any questions about the possible uses of these latex disposable gloves or are not sure if they are the right choice for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via the contact form!The benefits of latex
- Latex is an entirely natural product and is highly supple.
- The tactile sensitivity is excellent.
- It also offers protection against a wide range of acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex
- Unfortunately, price fluctuations are always a possibility, as latex is a natural raw material that is tied to harvest yields and market prices.
- Latex disposable gloves are known for triggering allergies because they contain water-soluble proteins that might irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory system, especially in the case of powdered disposable gloves or finger cots.
- Oils and solvents can rapidly permeate latex gloves and finger cots, so latex is not approved for handling such substances.
