01038-XS Latex gloves, XS, white
We recommend blue and white latex protective gloves for the food industry, close-contact services, industry, other medicine, education, hospitals, occupational safety and government authorities. For the food industry, we particularly recommend blue, food-grade latex protective gloves, as complete latex protective gloves or sections of latex protective gloves can be found quickly and without much effort.
The properties of latex disposable gloves
Latex is a material that can be obtained naturally from rubber trees and used for producing single-use gloves - in contrast to nitrile or vinyl, which are made from synthetic raw materials. Latex also has outstanding natural characteristics, so latex disposable gloves fit the hand snugly and are extremely comfortable to wear. For this reason, these single-use gloves (and finger cots) are used in areas where latex disposable gloves are worn for many processes and everyday tasks, such as in clinics and health care facilities, in doctor's or dentist's offices and in nursing homes, and also in food production and processing (to a lesser extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferable here). Latex is an inexpensive alternative to vinyl or nitrile.Latex protective gloves in material thickness: "medium thickness"
The material is somewhat thicker - this single-use 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 significantly stronger and harder-wearing than thinner items composed of this material.Quality of the latex gloves
These latex disposable gloves from the Eco-Plus brand are of "classic" quality. AMPri exclusively offers products of either a very solid basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "classic" quality or impressive "premium" quality. The powder-free, non-sterile, disposable glove is ambidextrous (can be used on either hand). It has no extra length, which means it does not offer splash protection. The latex protective gloves gloves are fingertip textured, so they offer a much more effective grip than non-textured disposable gloves. The Latex protective gloves are also suitable for protecting against risks that can lead to very serious consequences, such as death or permanent harm to health. Consequently, they are classified as category III PPE as defined by the EU PPE Regulation. In addition, the latex gloves have a CE marking indicating that they are a class I medical device. This category primarily includes products that have no effect on the human body and pose very little risk. These latex disposable gloves are only approved for non-sterile applications. 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 protective gloves meet the requirements with an AQL value of 1.5.We recommend latex disposable gloves for the following applications
Latex disposable 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 single-use gloves. The latex disposable gloves protect against viruses, bacteria and fungi. The latex protective gloves provide chemical protection (chemical protection type B) against penetration in accordance with the EN 374 standard. EN 374 sets the minimum penetration time for a certain period of time and for a certain 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. In addition, the latex protective gloves are airtight and waterproof. Consequently, we recommend latex disposable gloves for the following sectors: the food industry, close-contact services, industry, other medicine, education, hospitals, occupational safety and government authorities.

- Latex is a natural product of rubber trees; it is highly flexible and strong.
- The tactile sensitivity is excellent.
- Latex disposable gloves and finger cots are impervious to a wide variety of acids and alkalis.
The disadvantages of latex in protecting the hands
- Harvest quantities and raw material prices have a direct impact on the market price of latex, which can be variable and volatile as a result.
- Latex 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 disposable gloves are oil- and solvent-permeable and, consequently, they are not approved for handling these substances.
