What is latex:
Latex is a natural substance found in nature that
comes from the rubber tree. The milky white fluid is drained from the tree and
when this is left to dry it becomes sticky and gooey. Several chemicals are
added into the rubber to make the latex used for latex gloves.
Where are latex gloves used:
Latex gloves are used common place in hospitals
and medical facilities as a barrier against bacteria and viruses. The more we
discover how illnesses are passed from person to person the more precautious our
society has become. It is now common place for latex gloves to be used in food
preparation, food handling and any service where contact is made from person to
person where there is a chance for the transfer on infection and disease. As a
precaution against the spread of malicious bacteria and viruses US Postal
service employees use gloves while handling our mail. Auto technicians use
gloves to prevent oil and grease from being in contact with the skin, this makes
for easy cleanup and prevents harmful chemicals from penetrating the skin.
Which type of latex gloves should you use:
There are many different grades and sizes of
latex gloves. Latex gloves come in economy, general purpose, Premium and
medical grades. Each grade is specific to the task the glove is to perform.
Also latex gloves come with or without a powder coating on the interior of the
glove. Powder coating enables the glove to slide onto the hand better and aids
in keeping down perspiration of the hands. Here is a chart for the uses of the
grades of glove to be used by a specific industry.
