22 Years Factory 26″ Industrial rubber glove-Granule finish to Ukraine Manufacturer

FAQ Content

Being a necessity item, especially in the healthcare and food industry, the demand for rubber gloves remained robust in 2012 despite the Euro-zone debt crisis. Other major factors that boosted this demand include growing healthcare awareness, healthcare reforms with more stringent regulations following H1N1 scare and decreasing raw material costs worldwide. The emerging economies offer huge growth potential to the rubber glove manufacturers given the low penetration of gloves in these regions. With the substantial rise in the prices of natural rubber latex over the past 2 years, there has been a shift in the demand towards nitrile gloves. As a result, the majority of gloves manufacturers are either building up new nitrile glove production capacity or switching existing production capacity from natural rubber to nitrile rubber.
Malaysia dominates the global glove market as the largest producer and exporter of rubber gloves. It has the major advantage of raw material availability, infrastructure, R&D, development of supporting industries and support from government agencies over other countries by its side which further solidify its position on the global front. Other leading nations that produce rubber gloves include Thailand and Indonesia.
The four topmost rubber gloves manufacturers include Top Glove, Supermax, Kossan and Hartalega. All these companies have rolled out their production plans to supply better products and to meet the increasing demand globally. Although the industry has maintained its growth momentum, the major bottlenecks are labor shortage, fluctuating NBR prices, imposition of minimum wage by Malaysia, shortage of natural gas and hikes in gas tariffs.

Glove Buying Guide: http://bit.ly/1zWR6YS

Today, it’s all about gloves. Medline has put together a glove buying guide to help you become a glove expert and choose the right glove for your company or organization.

Let’s review the different types of gloves available and their ideal applications.

There are medical grade gloves, for use in nursing homes, doctors’ offices, hospitals, surgery centers and research facilities, – and non-medical grade gloves, more widely used by car dealerships, chemical manufacturers, janitorial companies, landscapers, restaurants and more.

Gloves are available in three different materials – vinyl, latex and nitrile.

Vinyl gloves, the most economical of the three, are latex-free and great for use in personal care, elderly care and cleaning and any time a general moisture barrier is needed. These are not ideal for chemical resistance and are sometimes susceptible to tearing.

Latex gloves provide a good organic barrier and a comfortable fit and feel. They are more suitable for personal care, surgery, dentistry and first aid. However, there are many people with latex allergies and, depending on how you plan to use your gloves, we ask that you take this into consideration.

Last, but not least, Nitrile gloves are able to provide the fit and feel of latex and feature high puncture, abrasion and chemical resistance. Less elastic than latex, we recommend nitrile gloves for laboratories, emergency response units and more.

We can help you make the right glove selection for your every need from our Medline glove line featuring the latest technology, outstanding fit, comfort, performance and quality assurance.
