In workplaces where gloves are worn continuously, ensuring comfort and safety isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. A key factor often overlooked is the chemical composition of gloves, particularly regarding allergens and irritants. Our gloves are formulated with your skin health in mind, providing protection from both Type I and Type II allergens.

Understanding Allergens

Allergens in gloves can be divided into two main types:

  • Type I Allergens: Naturally occurring proteins in natural rubber that can trigger immediate hypersensitivity reactions.
  • Type II Allergens: Chemical compounds, including accelerators like ZDC and BZ, and other processing aids, which may lead to delayed allergic reactions.

Our formulation is designed to minimize these risks, and for workplaces requiring additional protection, our allergy-free (Acc-free) gloves offer an alternative free from secondary accelerators.

Low Derma Compliance and SHA Accreditation

We back our claims with verifiable evidence. Our gloves are Low Derma compliant and carry SHA product accreditation, demonstrating rigorous testing and adherence to industry standards for chemical safety.

Non-Detectable Levels: Our Commitment to Safety

Certain chemicals, such as 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and Formaldehyde, are common allergens and skin sensitizers. Frequent exposure can lead to dermatitis, respiratory irritation, and other health concerns. Our gloves are rigorously tested to ensure non-detectable levels of MBT and Formaldehyde, surpassing stringent REACH regulatory standards, giving you verified assurance of chemical safety.

Industry-Specific Advantages

  • Healthcare and Life Sciences – Professionals wearing gloves for extended periods benefit from reduced allergic reactions and irritation, enhancing comfort and safety.
  • Cleanrooms and Laboratories – Gloves free from detectable MBT residues protect sensitive processes and minimize allergenic reactions among users.
  • Dental, Cosmetic, and Aesthetic Clinics – Formaldehyde-free gloves provide a skin-friendly, odorless experience for clinicians and patients alike.
  • Food Processing – Non-detectable chemical residues support compliance with food safety standards, protecting both workers and end products.
