FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for people with latex allergies?

No, these gloves are made from natural latex and are not suitable for individuals with latex allergies. If you have a latex allergy, consider nitrile or vinyl gloves.

How should I store the unused gloves?

Store the unopened pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ozone. Avoid high temperatures.

Can I reuse these gloves?

No, these gloves are designed for single use only and should be disposed of properly after use or when contaminated.

What is the primary benefit of the tight fit?

The tight fit allows for full hand dexterity and a sensitive tactile feel, which is crucial for performing precise tasks.

Are these gloves resistant to chemicals?

These gloves are designed for general use and offer protection against abrasive materials and contaminants. They are not specifically rated for protection against a wide range of chemicals. For chemical resistance, consult specialized glove guides.

What does 'powder-free' mean?

Powder-free means that any cornstarch used during the manufacturing process has been removed. This reduces the risk of skin irritation and contamination from residual powder.

What standards do these gloves meet?

These gloves have been tested to a range of European standards for disposable gloves, ensuring a level of quality and safety for their intended use.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrict movement.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For this product, the size is Medium. If the fit is still too restrictive for your task, consider if a different glove type or size might be more appropriate.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction.

Discontinue use immediately. These gloves are made from natural latex, which can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Consider switching to nitrile or vinyl gloves.

Gloves tear during use.

Ensure you are not using excessive force or handling extremely sharp objects that could puncture the latex. For tasks involving sharp objects or high risk of tearing, heavier-duty gloves may be required.

Contamination of the inside of the glove.

Ensure hands are completely dry and clean before putting on gloves. Avoid touching contaminated surfaces with the outside of the glove and then the inside.
