Synthetic & Natural Rubber


In all types of gloves made from rubber latex, wax emulsions improve both in-plant handling and service life. Gloves treated with emulsions are easier to chlorinate and have superior block resistance.

Other benefits include:

  • Longer protection from ozone
  • Improved release
  • Lower conductivity for electro surgery gloves
  • Improved abrasion resistance
  • Reduced tack
  • Higher slip for improved donnability
