Whether you require Latex, Nitrile, Vinyl or Synthetic Vinyl we have the glove best suited for you. Choose from powder-free or powdered, and exam grade or lower cost general purpose grade gloves, available in the following sizes Small, Medium, Large and Extra-Large. waxie shield gloves | 3 Latex Gloves Latex gloves are natural material, made out of rubber. Latex is a popular choice of protective glove for medical or industrial use. The primary reason people would choose an alternative to latex is because many people suffer from latex allergies. When allergy is not a concern, latex does have a slight advantage with comfort and dexterity over nitrile gloves. Nitrile Gloves Nitrile gloves are made out of a synthetic rubber, and are an ideal alternative when latex allergies are of concern. Nitrile gloves are the superior glove when it comes to puncture resistance. Nitrile gloves have a high level of sensitivity and mold to your hand for a great fit. Vinyl Gloves Vinyl gloves are a popular choice for the food industry and situations where high levels of durability and protection are less of a priority. While vinyl may be less durable, it does offer a less expensive option. Vinyl gloves are latex free and are good for short term, low risk tasks. Synthetic Vinyl Synthetic Stretch Vinyl gloves offer a glove with similar characteristics to a latex glove but is entirely latex free. Made of high quality stretch PVC polymer resin the Synthetic Stretch Vinyl Gloves offer a better flexible material than vinyl gloves which reduces hand fatigue during extended wear. The soft and solid fit of the gloves provides strength and durability that greatly reduces the chances of tearing. Ideal for hands that are sensitive to latex or donning powder. 4 | waxie shield gloves Powdered vs. Powder-Free Gloves Powdered gloves are made with USP absorbable dusting powder and are FDA accepted. The powder is composed of food grade cornstarch. It allows the glove to be easily taken on or off. Keeps gloves from sticking together but can leave residue on hands. Powdered gloves can increase the risk of allergic reaction as they absorb protein from the glove which can be left in skin pores or become airborne when removed and then inhaled. Powder-Free – Non-powdered gloves are usually treated with chlorine wash and/or polymer coating processes. The latex protein content is substantially removed from the glove when these processes are used to remove powder. Eases on/off of glove. Both chlorinated and polymer coating treatments for powder-free gloves are effective at creating a glove that dons and doffs easily. Done correctly, both processes yield gloves that exceed FDA and ASTM standards for hand protection.

This is a quality specification that manufacturers, as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) use to specify the pinhole rate in medical examination gloves. FDA standards specify an AQL of between 1.5% and 2.5% for the medical examination gloves. This means that the defect level from a large number of gloves will not exceed 2.5%. Exam grade gloves are different from general purpose gloves in that they must meet a series of FDA regulations in order to be marketed as exam grade gloves and are accepted for use by doctors, dentists, labs or any other application requiring a specific barrier to blood or infectious agents. Exam gloves are regulated by stringent FDA requirements requiring specific production and quality control standards. General purpose gloves are for use in food service, industrial or any other application that does not require a specific barrier to blood or infectious agents. This is the most common glove found in the marketplace and popular uses include food service, packaging, automotive, painting and health & beauty. What differentiates the gloves is a higher AQL for the Exam grade gloves than the general purpose gloves. 6 | waxie shield gloves How to Choose Proper Chemically Resistant Disposable Gloves 1. Identify the chemical you are working with 2. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to determine the correct glove material 3. Check the chemical resistance chart for gloves. Choose the highest-rated glove material 4. Determine the attributes needed in the glove application: • Dexterity and flexibility • Resistance to puncture and snags • Abrasion resistance 5. Determine the needed glove length 6. Test Glove Disposable Glove Removal You must follow a safe procedure for glove removal to ensure no pathogens from the soiled gloves contact your hands: • With both hands gloved, peel one glove off from top to bottom. Hold the removed glove in the gloved hand. • With the exposed hand, peel the second glove from the inside, tucking the first glove inside the second. • Dispose of the entire bundle promptly. • Remove disposable gloves when they become contaminated, damaged, or before leaving the work area. • Wash hands thoroughly. waxie shield gloves | 7 How to Find the Perfect Fit for Your Hand Why is a proper fit important? Disposable gloves that are too large are uncomfortable, hard to use and can be hazardous. Gloves that are too small are binding and cause hand fatigue. Measurement should be taken around the thickest part of the hand, not including the thumb. If you’re right-handed, use your right hand and vice versa.
