• Health hazard information
  Powder-free gloves:
  - Irritant contact dermatitis may result from prolonged contact with the product, the causative agents being residual surfactants and certain processing chemicals. There are no evidence of any adverse effects from available information of sulfur, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. However, presence of residual ZDEC, ZMBT and anti-oxidants on the product surface may cause delayed type IV hypersensitivity e.g. allergic contact dermatitis and chemical allergy. Reactions include itching, burning sensations, blistering, reddening and pain. In chronic cases, users may develop dry and thickened skin, cracks, peeling and crusting
  - Natural rubber latex contain a small quantity of natural proteins which may cause an immediate type I hypersensitive reactions such as urticaria and anaphylaxis in a small percentage of the population. However, the process of chlorination to make the gloves powder-free also reduces the extractable protein on the glove surface to below 50µg per gram glove. At such low protein level, sensitization is extremely rare. In any event, a user who cannot tolerate latex gloves is advised to consider alternative non-latex gloves. Type I hypersensitivity is often accompanied by symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, runny nose, wheezing and breathing difficulty. Other symptoms may involve nausea, abdominal cramps, increased heart palpitation, decreased blood pressure and anaphylactic shock
