| Dipping |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thousands of ceramic hand formers are first washed by dipping in hot water. They are then dipped into a coagulant tank that contains process chemicals. Finally they are ready for dipping in the latex tank. These formers then pass through an oven where the liquid latex forms into gel. |

| Leaching |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The formers then run through three long pre-vulcanization leaching tanks to remove excess chemical residue and latex protein, with hot water counter-flowing continuously against the formers as they pass through. |

| Vulcanization |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These formers later pass into a vulcanization oven. The heat removes moisture and the latex gel hardens to form into latex gloves. The formers then pass through a post-vulcanization leaching tank, which is the MOST important step, but unfortunately not utilized by all manufacturers, to further remove latex protein and chemical residue from the gloves. The gloves then pass through another drying oven before being stripped from the formers either by hand, or by an air-ejection machine. The gloves are last placed into tumble dryers for final vulcanization process. |

| Glove Quality Control |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In order to produce the highest quality gloves, we ensures our manufacturing process and quality control are always meeting the stringent FDA, ADA and ASTM requirements. At various stages of the manufacturing process, assorted sampling and quality control tests are routinely carried out to monitor our operation and product quality. These tests include 1000ml watertight test, air inflation test, chemical residue test, visual inspection, etc. Our manufacturing facilities have implemented the ISO 9001 Quality Systems, and have adopted the EN 455 standards. We are always in compliance with the FDA Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). |
