SHOWA® SUSTAINABLE ACCELERATOR-FREE GLOVES FOR SENSITIVE-SKIN WEARERS

Glove Technology Reduces Exposure To Chemical Allergens For Sensitive-Skin Users & Feature Accelerated Biodegradation in Landfill!

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.

THE PHENOMENON

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.

WHAT IS AN ACCELERATOR-FREE NITRILE GLOVE?

Accelerator-free nitrile gloves are nitrile gloves that have no chemical accelerants used in the production process and they are gaining widespread popularity among users for their dermatologic features.  Accelerator-free gloves are made using the same raw material as regular nitrile gloves but with a slightly different formula without the accelerator, 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.

Designed for individuals who suffer from sensitive skin, Showa® offers glove wearers with a portfolio of skin-friendly accelerator-free nitrile gloves that carry a FDA-approved Low Dermatitis Potential Claim and are in compliance with FDA 21CFR, parts 170-199 for safe food handling.
