Disposable Latex Gloves

What are latex gloves made from?

Latex gloves are made from natural rubber latex, a renewable natural resource. The latex is harvested from rubber trees and processed into a flexible, durable material.

Latex gloves are some of the most common in medical, industrial, and food service applications. Many prefer latex over other styles because they're more elastic than nitrile and more puncture-resistant than vinyl. They also offer excellent chemical resistance. You should not use latex if you or any team member has an allergy.

Can people with latex allergies use latex gloves?

No, individuals with a latex allergy should avoid latex gloves as they can cause allergic reactions. Alternatives like nitrile or vinyl gloves can be used instead.

How durable are latex gloves?

Latex gloves are generally durable and have high elasticity and flexibility. They resist many chemicals and offer a high degree of touch sensitivity.

Both latex and nitrile gloves are an excellent choice for medical, cleanroom, and industrial applications. However, we outlined some unique benefits of latex below:

Naturally conforms to your hand
Natural material derived from tree sap
Good abrasion and tear resistance
Excellent tactile sensitivity

According to the CDC the main downside to latex is that approximately 5% of healthcare workers experience allergies associated with the material. Health care workers risk developing a latex allergy if they use gloves frequently. For this reason, the CDC recommends using non-latex gloves when doing routine activities such as housekeeping and maintenance. Medical workers should avoid powdered gloves because they can further irritate your skin.

Can latex gloves be used for handling food?

Yes, latex gloves can be used for handling food as long as they are deemed food-safe by regulatory bodies. However, some people are allergic to latex, so many food-handling establishments have switched to nitrile or vinyl gloves to avoid potential allergic reactions.

Where can you buy latex gloves?

Many latex glove manufacturers now offer unique features, such as aloe coatings to help soothe and moisturize skin and extra-thick styles for additional barrier protection. Harmony Lab & Safety Supplies offers various types, thicknesses, and grades of latex gloves. Our high-risk, extra-thick latex gloves are excellent for first responders, especially police officers, firefighters, and EMTs.

Harmony Lab & Safety Supplies carries bulk latex gloves in 50-count or 100-count boxes or 1,000-count cases. No matter what quantity you need, you can count on quick shipping and reliable customer service when you partner with us for your disposable latex glove needs.
