Chlorinated unflocked glove construction

These chlorinated gloves have gone through a chlorination process, which consists in soaking the gloves in an aqueous chlorine solution or exposing them to chlorine gas. This process reduces surface friction and makes the gloves easier to don and remove.

Grip on wet or dry objects

To help the glove keep some grip quality without sticking to handled objects, the palm surface has a textured pattern. This finish helps provide a firm grip on wet or dry objects while preserving the flexibility of natural latex.

Food, laboratory and maintenance applications

This glove is approved for food handling by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada or Agriculture Canada, according to the product page information. It may also suit laboratory work, maintenance, food processing, canning and environments where flexible reusable protection is required.

Natural latex properties

Natural latex properties vary according to additives dispersed through the compound, but its polymer structure contributes to elasticity, flexibility, high tensile strength and barrier quality. Natural latex remains comfortable and tactile when the manufacturer's limitations are respected.

Compared with some synthetic counterparts, natural latex offers poor protection against oils, fats and hydrocarbons. For these risks, choose a material better suited to the product being handled.

Comfort, moisture and cotton under-gloves

This model is unflocked. The chlorinated interior helps donning without adding a textile lining, which suits workstations where a more direct feel inside the glove is preferred.

To better absorb moisture generated by perspiration, see the inspector glove for men (G217) or the model for women (G218).

Natural latex restrictions and allergies

Latex is a known allergen. These gloves should not be used where contact with people allergic to latex may occur. For oils, fats or hydrocarbons, choose a more suitable protection such as certain nitrile, neoprene, PVC or rubber gloves depending on the product.

Maintenance of the reusable latex glove

This glove is reusable, but periodic maintenance is recommended to avoid contamination. To clean it, wear it normally and wash it as if you were washing your hands with soapy water. Then turn the glove inside out so the interior can dry properly before storage.
