NEW GLOVE TECHNOLOGIES

Dry Core™ and DriTek® Hand Drying Technologies Soothe Skin, Reduce Inflammation and Irritation

Wearing single-use gloves all day every day can cause more skin-health problems than the dangers from which they are worn to protect in the first place. If you suffer from dry, cracked or irritated hands, then be sure to check out these nitrile exam gloves with moisture wicking systems. And as an added bonus, these latex-free gloves also decompose in landfill thanks to EcoTek® accelerated biodegradability!

Single-use gloves are designed to form a non-permeable layer between the outside environment and your hands, but once a glove is donned, the environment underneath begins to change yielding a new set of risks for the wearer. Lack of airflow, glove friction, and high temperatures increases persperation and creates a breeding ground for bacteria, Frequent hand washing between glove use strips down the natural oils of the skin, and this repeated wetting/drying makes the skin less pliable and prone to redness, dryness and burning.

Innovative Glove Technologies

SW® Sustainability Solutions offers Dry Core™ and DriTek® technologies that pull sweat away from the hands:

1. Dry Core® lint-free moisture wicking system naturally pulls sweat away from the skin for a dry, more comfortable environment and healthier hands.
2. DriTek® moisture-wicking flock-lined system naturally manages sweat for drier, cooler more comfortable hands and easy donning/doffing.

The negative effect of prolonged glove usage can now be managed by selecting a latex-free glove with  moisture wicking inner glove lining.  These new technology developments now feature gloves made with absorbent liners that wick away moisture from the skin so sweaty hands from glove wearing can be a thing of the past.

These advancements allow workers to stay cool and dry while working extended hours with the same pair of gloves. The built-in sweat management technology addresses the discomfort and prevents hand moisture that causes rashes and a host of other skin problems.

Biodegradable in Landfill

Not only do these gloves promote healthy skin, they also feature GreenCircle® certified EcoTek® accelerated biodegradation technology, making them an earth-friendly, sustainable solution.
