Glove Testing
Disposable gloves;
food production,
medical applications,
pharmaceutical industry, they are widely used in many different fields such as
chemical and cosmetic industries,
laboratory work. The purpose of these gloves is to protect the wearer from both environmental factors and the substances contacted. It is therefore of great importance that the quality and reliability of products are tested by scientific methods.
Types of Disposable Gloves
- Latex Gloves
- Nitrile Gloves
- Vinyl Gloves
Latex,
nitrile and
vinyl gloves have different performance characteristics depending on their intended use. Gloves used in the laboratory environment must be particularly resistant to corrosive, irritating or caustic chemicals, while at the same time not causing
allergic reactions. Highly flexible and well-fitting gloves provide both comfort and
effective protection against microorganisms.
Features of Disposable Gloves
- For laboratory use, it should have features to protect hands from corrosive, irritating, caustic and harmful chemicals.
- Should not cause an allergic reaction.
- It should be flexible, suitable for the hand.
- It should provide protection from microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria that can cause infectious diseases.
- To prevent infection, it must fully grip the hand.
| Determination of Phthalate Content: The presence of harmful plasticizer phthalates in disposable gloves is analyzed and their safety in terms of user health is evaluated. |
| Total Migration: The total amount of chemicals migrating from the glove material into the contact medium (e.g. food) is measured, and the overall safety level is determined. |
| Specific Migration: The level of migration of specific hazardous substances (e.g. heavy metals or additives) through the glove is determined to check compliance with limit values. |
| No Perforation Requirements: Whether the glove provides full protection against liquids and microorganisms is evaluated in terms of hygiene and safety by checking with a puncture test. |
| Physical Properties: </The physical parameters of the glove such as thickness, flexibility, tear and tensile strength are tested to measure its performance in use. |
| Biological Evaluation: Biocompatibility tests determine whether the glove causes allergy, irritation or toxic effects when in contact with the skin. |
In our laboratories,
disposable glove tests are performed in accordance with national and international standards. The tests evaluate parameters such as hole and tear control, impermeability, tensile strength, thickness measurements and biocompatibility. In addition, the
protection of gloves against bacteria and viruses is also analyzed for environments at risk of infection.
The accurate analysis of gloves, one of the basic protectors of health and safety, with accurate test methods provides legal compliance and market advantage to manufacturers, while providing a safe product to the end user.
