What is the Glove Chlorination Process?

The Glove Chlorination Process is a critical step in the manufacturing of latex or rubber gloves, particularly in industries like healthcare, food processing, and laboratories. It plays a pivotal role in enhancing the usability and safety of latex gloves, making them more practical for various applications. But what exactly does this process entail, and why is it so essential in the world of glove manufacturing?

Chlorination is used to reduce the tackiness of gloves to improve the ease of donning (as an alternative to using additional dusting powder) or to alter the grip properties of the outer surface of the glove. The gloves are dipped into an aqueous chlorinated solution during manufacturing. Extra washing during the chlorination process provides an added benefit by greatly reducing the level of soluble latex proteins in latex gloves. It also affects some cosmetic and physical glove characteristics (softness and colour), but can be used on both latex and nitrile gloves.

This treatment modifies the surface properties of the gloves, resulting in several important benefits:
Reduced Tackiness

Chlorination makes latex gloves less sticky, ensuring smoother donning and doffing.

Allergy Prevention

It reduces latex proteins, lowering the risk of allergic reactions.

Improved Comfort

Chlorinated gloves are comfortable for extended wear.

Enhanced Durability

Chlorination enhances glove durability, making them reliable in various applications.

Process of Glove Chlorination

Let’s dive into the Process of Glove Chlorination to gain a deeper understanding of its significance and how it transforms raw latex into a versatile and widely used product. The Glove Chlorination Process typically involves the following steps:

1

Preparation

The manufacturing process begins with the creation of glove molds. These molds are dipped into a latex or nitrile solution to form the base of the gloves. Latex gloves are made from natural rubber latex, while nitrile gloves are made from synthetic nitrile rubber.
2

Chlorination Treatment

The gloves are exposed to either a chlorine gas or a chlorine-containing solution. The chlorine interacts with the glove's surface, altering its chemical properties. This step is crucial in reducing stickiness and latex protein levels.
3

Rinsing & Neutralization

After chlorination, the gloves are thoroughly rinsed to remove any residual chlorine or chemicals. This step is vital to ensure that the gloves are safe to wear and won't cause skin irritation.
4

Powdering (Optional)

Some chlorinated gloves are powdered with a food-grade cornstarch or polymer powder to further enhance ease of donning and reduce glove sticking.
5

Drying & Quality Control

Once cleaned and neutralized, the gloves are dried and subjected to quality control checks to ensure they meet safety and performance standards.
