The Manufacturing Process of Synthetic Rubber Gloves
Learn how rubber gloves are made using synthetic rubber, ensuring a contaminant-free and comfortable experience.
00:00:00 The process of making rubber gloves involves cleaning molds made from ceramic or aluminum to remove residue. This ensures that the gloves are free from any contaminants that could cause holes.
🧤 Rubber gloves are made using ceramic or aluminum molds.
🚿 The molds are thoroughly washed in soapy water and bleach to remove any residue.
💦 The molds undergo a thorough scrubbing with revolving brushes to ensure cleanliness.
00:01:05 This video shows the process of making rubber gloves using synthetic rubber for those who can't wear natural latex. The gloves are coated in a film, dried in an oven, and then rolled up for easy removal.
🧤 Rubber gloves are made by dipping ceramic molds into a chemical bath to create a coating, then dipping them into warm liquid rubber.
🔥 The dipped molds are dried in an oven under intense heat, forming the rubber gloves.
🖐️ The gloves are then washed, dried, and the cuffs are rolled up for easier removal from the molds.
00:02:09 The process of making rubber gloves involves testing for weak spots and leaks, and packaging them in batches with a cornstarch solution for easy handling.
💡 Synthetic rubber gloves are stickier and require hand removal, while natural latex gloves are easily removed using bursts of pressurized air.
🔎 Each medical glove is stretched and inflated to check for weak spots and holes, and a sample from every batch is tested for leaks.
📦 The gloves are packed in batches of 100 and a cornstarch solution is applied to prevent sticking. The starch also acts as a lubricant for easy glove removal.
