Critical assurance gloves are commonly made from the following materials:
Latex
Natural rubber latex is obtained from the Hevea brasiliensis
tree. Gloves made of latex offer superior fit, dexterity, comfort
and barrier protection.
Nitrile
A blend of acrylonitrile and butadiene, nitrile is an excellent glove
material for individuals with latex sensitivities. It provides outstanding
durability and resistance to many chemicals.
Vinyl
A synthetic polymer made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it contains
no latex proteins and is an excellent glove material for individuals
with latex sensitivities.
Neoprene
A generic term for rubberlike polymers and copolymers of chloroprene,
neoprene was the first synthetic rubber developed in the United States.
Neoprene has inherent high tensile strength and elongation for excellent
durability. Since it contains no latex proteins, it is an excellent
material for individuals with latex sensitivities.
Polyisoprene
Our unique polyisoprene formulation and proprietary manufacturing
technology produce synthetic gloves that fit, feel and perform just
like latex gloves. The main difference between polyisoprene and natural
rubber latex is that the natural allergens and impurities which occur
in natural rubber latex are absent in polyisoprene.
