According to purpose
Acid and alkali resistant gloves, electrical insulating gloves, radiation protection gloves, medical gloves and other rubber gloves.
According to rubber raw materials or manufacturing process, it is divided into latex gloves and molded gloves.
Acid and alkali resistant gloves should be able to be used in sulfuric acid (density 1.32) or caustic soda solution (density 1.19) at 45°C. Electrical insulating gloves are divided into high voltage and low voltage. The high voltage can be used under 6000 volts (test voltage is 12000 volts). Low voltage can be used below 1000 volts. Medical gloves are divided into two types: glossy surface and wool surface (fur surface gloves or wrinkle gloves).
According to material
According to the material, it is generally divided into plastic disposable gloves, latex disposable gloves, and nitrile disposable gloves.
Among them, plastic film gloves are generally used in non-professional occasions, and the advantage is that they are cheap. However, because plastic disposable gloves have no elasticity, their durability and suitability are relatively poor.
Latex gloves, usually used in professional occasions. Such as operating rooms, laboratories and other places that require high sanitary conditions. The advantage is that it has a certain degree of flexibility and is more durable. But it is not resistant to the corrosion of animal fats, and it is easy to be corroded by contact with animal fats. More importantly, according to statistics, 2%-17% of people will have varying degrees of allergies to latex.
Nitrile gloves, in addition to having the characteristics of latex gloves. And to improve the shortcomings of latex gloves. It can withstand the corrosion of animal fats and does not cause allergies.
