THE SKIN PHENOMENON
Single-use gloves are essential to protecting the hands from contamination or infection and can help keep environments and materials cleaner as they minimize the spread of germs and bacteria and potential cross-contamination. Unfortunately, the glove designed to protect a wearer’s hands can inadvertently cause harm to the skin and lead to allergic contact dermatitis (a type IV allergy). This phenomenon occurs when a substance triggers an immune response in the wearer’s skin and appears as a red rash with bumps and sometimes blisters.
If an individual wearing a nitrile glove develops dry, itchy or irritated skin, they may believe they have a nitrile allergy but in most cases this reaction is not to the nitrile but rather to the sulfur-based chemical accelerators commonly incorporated in the manufacturing of single-use latex-free gloves. Depending on the manufacturer, between 1-6 different accelerators are used during the glove production process. Accelerators speed up production by making each step of the processing phase more efficient and consequently accelerant residues are sometimes left on the glove’s surface.
Chemical accelerators such as dithiocarbamates, thiurams and mercaptobenzothiazoles (MBT) are used in glove manufacturing to speed up the linkage of molecules in natural rubber latex or in synthetic rubber latex like nitrile and vinyl. These accelerants transform liquid materials into thin, strong, and elastic glove films that facilitate the formation of the glove’s final form, making it less expensive, faster, and much easier to produce.
WHAT IS AN ACCELERATOR-FREE NITRILE GLOVE?
Accelerator-free nitrile examination gloves are nitrile gloves that have no chemical accelerants used in the production process and they are gaining widespread popularity among users for their dermatological features. Accelerator-free nitrile exam gloves are produced with the same raw material as regular nitrile gloves but with a slightly different formula exempt of accelerators, thus they are better for the users and the environment. These types of gloves feel softer, more flexible and provide the same strength, elasticity, and chemical resistance as regular nitrile gloves, but the absence of accelerators makes production more difficult and slower and consequently more expensive to procure.
THE AURELIA® ACCELERATOR-FREE NITRILE GLOVE PORTFOLIO
Designed for individuals who wear disposabl enitrile gloves and suffer from sensitive skin, Aurelia® offers professional glove wearers with a portfolio of skin-friendly accelerator-free nitrile exam gloves. Manufactured using a breakthrough cross-linking technology that does not require sulfur-based accelerators, these nitrile examination gloves also undergo additional testing to ensure that they are free of chemical accelerator residue and will not cause skin irritation, allergies, or damage the environment.
Aurelia’s soft-modulus formula provides second-skin technology that gently snugs the hand to maximize comfort, fit and minimize hand fatigue over long periods of time. Available in a variety of mil-thicknesses, colors and lengths, Aurelia medical nitrile gloves are ideal for professionals that wear gloves every day and are prone to skin reactions. Several Aurelia® nitrile gloves meet ASTM D6978-05 for use with chemotherapy drugs and fatal toxins.
Healthy skin is an important barrier as cracked skin or open sores put individuals at higher risk of infections and disease. Chronic skin problems can be painful, distracting and cause people to eventually abandon careers. Reduce exposure to irritants and consider switching to an accelerator-free glove today.
