Latex gloves are a critical protective equipment widely used in medical, laboratory, beauty, cleaning, and many other fields. This article will introduce you to the production process of latex gloves, let's learn together how to protect our hands.
Part 1: Material Preparation
Production of latex gloves requires the preparation of several key materials. Firstly, latex is a liquid substance extracted from rubber trees. Latex has elasticity and durability, making it suitable for glove making. In addition, additives such as vulcanizing agents, antioxidant agents, and reinforcing agents are needed to enhance the performance and durability of latex.
There are usually two ways to shape latex gloves: offline molding and continuous molding.
Process of offline molding includes the following steps:
First, pour the latex mixture into the molding mold, and the shape and size of the mold determine the appearance of the final glove.
Place the mold filled with latex in a steam heater for heating to promote the curing and vulcanization process of the latex.
Then the glove mold will be sent into a cooling bath to accelerate the solidification and vulcanization of the latex.
Once the latex is cured, the glove mold will be opened and the formed gloves will be taken out.
Process of continuous forming is more automated, mainly including the following steps:
Firstly, production line for continuously moving ceramic molds to impregnate latex mixtures.
On the production line, the latex mixture is injected into the latex tank.
After a series of impregnations, gloves will automatically detach from the mold after latex curing and vulcanization.
The formed gloves will continue to be transported offline for subsequent processing, such as cleaning, drying, and packaging.
Part 3: Quality Control and Packaging
Quality control of latex gloves is an important link in the manufacturing process. Manufacturers usually conduct various tests to ensure that gloves meet national and industry standards. Some common quality control tests include: visual inspection, thickness testing, tensile strength testing, puncture testing, etc.
Once the gloves pass the quality control inspection, they will be cleaned, dried, and packaged. The cleaning process can remove any oil and impurities that may remain on the gloves. The drying process ensures that the surface of the gloves is dry for easy packaging. In the packaging process, common packaging materials include plastic bags, paper boxes, and packaging tapes.
By understanding the classification and production process of latex gloves, we can better understand the different applications and manufacturing processes of this important product. Whether used in the medical industry or various industrial fields, latex gloves play an important role in protection and protection.
