WEIGHT

The weight of a glove is a key element to define its quality. There are several factors affecting the weight of an examination glove: the material from which the glove is produced, the quality of manufacturing and the use for which the glove is designed. Rays SpA is able to offer examination gloves whose weight can range from 0.7g for HDPE (polyethylene gloves) to 20 grams for Biosafe High Risk (latex examination gloves)

AQL

It is very important to check the number of gloves in the box. A low price often implies a poorer quality, lower weight or fewer gloves in the boxes. Rays SpA ensures that the amount indicated on the box always matches the actual number of gloves contained in the box.

SIZE

On the packaging, each size is customized with a reference color that allows rapid identification of the measure. Rays allows you to easily select your size by simply measuring the palm of your hand with the reference scale corresponding to international standards.

MATERIAL

The first question that arises when choosing an examination glove concerns the material it is made of. Nowadays, the main choices available are Latex, Nitrile or Vinyl, however our range has been completed with two other materials addressed to particular needs, that are polyethylene. Each material has its own chemical, mechanical and tolerability features that must be carefully considered before choosing a glove..

Let’s know the materials

NITRILE

Nitrile rubber is a synthetic material obtained by copolymerization of acrylonitrile with butadiene. This network elastomer ensures higher performances than latex and vinyl gloves in terms of abrasion and puncture resistance, in addition to great extensibility and comfort. Nitrile gloves are the alternative to latex gloves to be used by allergy sufferers. Rays offers a wide range of nitrile gloves, in order to satisfy the various needs of the market.

ADAVANTAGES

  • Latex free
  • Mechanical resistance
  • Oil and grease resistance
  • Chemical resistance
  • Longer life
  • Low migration to the foods

VINYL

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gloves, commonly known as vinyl gloves are derived from PVC granules, one of the most widely used plastic, and plasticizers (mostly phthalates). This glove has been developed for its cost-effectiveness and the absence of latex proteins. Thanks to these features, it is particularly appropriate for short duration applications and for all those activities where frequent glove changes are required.

LATEX

Latex is a substance of natural origin derived from the milky sap of rubber and composed for the 65% of water, 33% of rubber, 2% of resin and 1.8% of proteins. It is extracted from the “rubber tree” (Hevea brasiliensis) and is mainly grown in the countries of Southeast Asia. It is the most flexible natural material known. Its main characteristic is the ability to get back to its original shape when subjected to pressure or elongation, thus offering an easy fit and excellent tactile sensitivity. For this reason, it has always been considered one of the best materials for the production of gloves.

POLYETHYLENE

Polyethylene is one of the most common and less expensive plastics. Thanks to its excellent chemical stability, one of the most widespread uses of Polyethylene is the production of films destined to food contact.
