STUDY OF PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES AND Characteristics of medical gloves

Abstract

In this article, we will analyze the main stages of production of medical gloves, including latex and nitrile gloves. Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber is an elastomer with a fairly impressive set of properties: increased resistance to oils and solvents, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, bending resistance, increased residual deformation under compression and resistance to migration and loss of volatile substances, color retention, weather resistance, and aging resistance. The article also provides the results of studies of the stages of the glove production process. The following production stages are defined: preparation of glove molds; immersion of molds in solution; vulcanization; leaching; formation of a cuff bead; finishing process (chlorination, polymer coating); removal from molds. The article provides the results of quality tests carried out in laboratory conditions.
