GLOVES
Technology/Process Description:
Primus manufactures both Pre Powdered and Powder free gloves.
Pre powdered gloves are manufactured
from high quality Natural Rubber Latex. High quality of these gloves is ensured
by in-process control which covers all aspects of manufacturing. Manufacturing
and packing is done under clean and hygienic environment which ensures low
Bio-burden on the gloves. In-line leaching process is used to reduce content of
soluble proteins. Thiurams are avoided for lower allergic potential. These
gloves are lightly powdered with USP grade absorbable corn starch.
The powder free gloves are skin
friendly as they are powder free.
Manufacturing and packing is done under clean and hygienic environment which ensures
low Bio-burden on the gloves. In-line leaching process is used to reduce
content of soluble proteins. Thiurams are avoided for lower allergic potential.
