01012-XS Latex gloves, XS, white, (latex paint)
We generally recommend white and blue latex disposable 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 disposable gloves, as whole 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 extracted naturally from rubber trees and used for manufacturing disposable 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 smoothly and are very 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 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 to a certain degree in food production and processing (to a limited extent, as cross-contamination can occur; nitrile is preferred here). Latex is an inexpensive 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 guarantees very good tactile sensitivity. The breakthrough time of this single-use product is higher 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 durable.Quality of the latex disposable gloves
These latex disposable gloves from the Basic-Plus brand are "basic" quality. AMPri exclusively sells products of either a very consistent basic standard of quality, a more deluxe "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 provide splash protection. These disposable gloves are fully textured. Fully textured latex gloves have excellent slip-proof properties and are an ideal choice if you need to work with slippery tools or materials. This product features the special attribute "extra grip". As category III personal protective equipment as defined by the PPE Regulation ((EU) 2016/425), they provide protection from health risks that are permanent or can lead to death. The fact that these single-use gloves are rated as a class I medical device means they pose little or no risk to wearers or patients, as the latex protective gloves have no impact on the body when worn for short periods of time. 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
These latex disposable gloves are approved for handling food. They are especially useful for acidic food and dry food. The latex protective gloves offer protection from microorganisms, meaning that they are impervious to viruses, bacteria and fungi. Chemical protection type B indicates that the latex gloves offer protection against penetration in accordance with the crucial EN 374 standard. It lays out 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 waterproof. We therefore recommend latex disposable gloves for these 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 disposable gloves or are unsure 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 in protecting the hands
- Latex is a purely natural product and is extremely supple.
- Latex is comfortable to wear and does not affect tactile sensitivity.
- It also keeps the skin safe from many acids and alkalis.
The downsides of latex as a hand protection material
- As a natural raw material, latex is dependent on harvest quantities and commodity prices. This can lead to price fluctuations.
- Water-soluble proteins contained in latex can trigger allergies if the gloves are used often. In addition to the latex products themselves, the powder on the latex disposable gloves or finger cots (powdered version) is also a serious cause of allergies.
- Latex gloves and finger cots are not intended for handling oils or solvents, as these substances can quickly permeate the material.
