Compounding – The Foundation of Quality

The journey begins in our advanced compounding facility. Here, high-grade synthetic nitrile latex is carefully mixed with a precise blend of vulcanizing agents, accelerators, stabilizers, and colorants. This critical initial phase determines the glove’s ultimate strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Our expert chemists ensure the compound is perfectly formulated for optimal performance, laying the groundwork for durable nitrile gloves.

Former Preparation & Dipping – Shaping Perfection

Cleanliness and precision are paramount. Ceramic or porcelain hand-shaped formers are meticulously cleaned, often through acid and alkali washes, followed by rinsing. These formers are then pre-heated to an exact temperature before being dipped into the prepared nitrile compound. The dipping speed and duration are precisely controlled by our automated glove manufacturing lines to ensure a uniform and consistent film thickness for every glove, a key factor in achieving consistent quality nitrile gloves.

Leaching – Purity Through Washing

After the initial dip, the gloves on the formers undergo a crucial leaching process. This involves washing the gloves in hot water to remove residual proteins, unreacted chemicals, and other impurities from the nitrile film. This step is vital for reducing potential skin irritation and ensuring the bio-compatibility of the finished product, aligning with standards like ISO 10993.

Beading & Curing (Vulcanization) – Strength and Structure

Next, the cuff of the glove is rolled to create a strong, tear-resistant bead, which also makes donning easier. Following this, the gloves enter a series of curing ovens. This vulcanization process involves applying controlled heat to cross-link the nitrile polymers, transforming the liquid film into a solid, elastic, and highly durable glove. This is where the glove gains its characteristic strength and resilience, making Latrile heavy-duty nitrile gloves.

Polymer Coating and Chlorination – Powder-Free Advantage

For our powder-free nitrile gloves, the cured gloves undergo  with a polymer coating and Chlorination chemically alters the glove’s surface, making it smoother and less tacky, allowing for easy donning and doffing without the need for powder. Polymer coating achieves a similar effect, providing a slick inner surface. This step is crucial for reducing contamination risks in sensitive environments like medical and food service settings.

Auto Stripping – Gentle Removal

Once the gloves are fully formed and treated, they are carefully stripped from the ceramic formers. This delicate process is often assisted by air jets or automated rollers to prevent damage to the finished glove, maintaining its integrity and comfort.

Rigorous Quality Control & Testing – Our Commitment to Excellence

This is where Latrile’s dedication to world-class quality truly shines. Every batch of gloves undergoes extensive quality assurance testing at multiple stages. Our in-house laboratories perform a battery of tests to ensure compliance with international standards:

• Physical Properties: Tensile strength, elongation, and puncture resistance (e.g., ASTM D 6319, EN 455 – Part 2).
• Freedom from Holes: Air and water leak tests to ensure barrier integrity (EN 455 – Part 1, ISO 11193-1).
• Bio-Compatibility: Testing for skin irritation and sensitization (ISO 10993-Part-5, -10, -11, -23).
• Dimensional Checks: Ensuring consistent sizing and fit.
• Visual Inspection: For defects, color consistency, and overall appearance.

Our adherence to certifications like ISO 13485-2016 (Medical Device Quality Management), CE, ISI BIS 15354, EN, and ASTM ensures that only the highest quality gloves reach our customers.

Auto Packaging – Ready for Protection

Finally, the gloves that pass all stringent quality checks are meticulously sorted, counted, and packaged in various configurations (e.g., boxes of 100, cases). Our packaging process is designed to protect the gloves during transit and storage, maintaining their sterility and integrity until they are ready for use.

At Latrile Gloves Private Limited, this comprehensive and technologically advanced nitrile glove manufacturing process is our promise of superior protection. It’s how we ensure that every pair of Latrile nitrile gloves delivers the durability, comfort, and reliability you expect from a world-class supplier.
