Latex Gloves, Condoms & Catheter

Surgical Gloves

The gloves are made from latex by dipping method. In the same plant of hand gloves, other products like finger stalls, balloons, etc. can also be manufactured.

Deposition of rubber by dipping an article  in  rubber solution  in  order  to obtain thin walled articles  in  and  old process,  toy balloons, gloves for surgical and household use were made  by dipping forms in  milled rubber solution as cements.   A single dip was sufficient for producing very thin  articles,  but in case of heavy ones the dipping and drying operations had to be repeated several times.   The solution uses as of high viscosity, yet   it  contain  only  a  very  small  percentage  of   rubber, consequently  the  usage  of solvent was high and the  method  of solvent  recovery were very inefficient.   It was not  surprising that when latex become commercially available attempts were  made to use it in place of rubber solutions.   Dipped goods from latex especially surgical gloves, industrial gloves, finger stalls etc. are  finding  increasing use formerly almost these articles  were important.   However, some large scale units in the country almost monopolized the manufacture and the marketing of these products. Recently much progress has been made in small sector.  Especially because technical know how is no longer a problem and all the raw materials are available indigenously.
