Malaysia Nitrile Gloves

Malaysia is by far the world’s largest medical glove supplier, producing as many as three out of four gloves on market. Malaysia has secured its spot in the world market, being home to four top glove players, including Top Glove, Hartalega, Kossan Rubber, Supermax, and Brightway and to date, is already exporting gloves to over 195 countries worldwide.

Malaysia remains the world’s leading supplier of medical gloves (examination and surgical gloves), supplying more than 50% of the global demand, according to the Malaysian Rubber Export Promotion Council (MREPC). Its data showed that in 2018, Malaysia exported RM16.2 billion worth of gloves and RM1.6 billion worth of surgical gloves.

The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA), an organisation that represents 90% of local glove manufacturers, has forecast that Malaysia will further move up to the global value chain. Its global market share of gloves is anticipated to rise to 68% from 2020. Yearly, the glove industry is anticipated to break in a 15% growth rate.

What is Nitrile?

Nitrile is a shortened term for Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, or NBR.  Although it is also referred to as NBR latex, there is no natural rubber latex (or latex proteins) in the material.  Nitrile is a synthetic rubber copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene.  These two materials (monomers) are placed in a stainless steel vat, and using hot or cold polymerization, a chemical reaction occurs, and voila!  Nitrile is born.

The nitrile latex is filtered and blended with an antioxidant to stabilize the material.  Next, the liquid is solidified by adding coagulating agents, then finally washed and dried.  The resulting material is referred to as “crumb rubber.”  Crumb rubber can be liquefied by product manufacturers to make nitrile rubber materials, such as floor mats, footwear, adhesives and gloves.

Nitrile is a synthetic rubber compound that is commonly used as a disposable glove material.  Nitrile has been around for a while, but only recently it’s become more affordable, which explains why it’s gaining popularity throughout medical, food and cleaning industries. Nitrile has a higher puncture resistance than any other glove material. Nitrile glove also has a better chemical resistance than Latex or Vinyl gloves. NITRILE GLOVES are the perfect compromise between latex and vinyl. Nitrile is made from an allergy safe compound that feels a lot like latex but it’s much stronger, costs less, and is more comfortable to wear. Nitrile is perfect for demanding applications, especially cleaning and dishwashing. Powder free gloves go through an extra process of chlorinating the gloves to ease donning.

Do you have a latex allergy? Go Latex Free. Now you can get a non-latex disposable nitrile glove without the loose feeling of a vinyl glove. Nitrile gloves are composed from a synthetic rubber which doesn’t create the same irritations and allergic reactions as natural latex rubber. Nitrile gloves deliver superior protection, performance, and comfort you can feel - at a more affordable price. 

Nitrile alone, without anything added, is a fairly rigid material.  So glove manufacturers add a small percentage other chemicals to NBR in order to create a soft, or low modulus, nitrile glove.  Over the past decade, these manufacturers have continued to improve their nitrile glove material formulations.  Disposable nitrile gloves have grown softer and more elastic.  The latest innovations in nitrile glove development include accelerator-free formulations that lower the risk of Type IV contact dermatitis in wearers.

These thin and flexible gloves are what we have all come to rely on to keep ourselves, our patients, products and food items safe.  Nitrile gloves are more resistant to oils and acids than natural rubber (latex) gloves.  The material is resistant to abrasion and puncture, making it suitably durable for many tasks.  Low modulus nitrile gloves also conform well to the hand and provide excellent tactile sensitivity.

Nitrile Exam Gloves

Nitrile gloves are a more hypoallergenic choice. Created from synthetic rubbers, the incidence of nitrile rubber allergy is extremely low. Nitrile gloves are not packed in powder and are easy to handle directly on removal from the box. Nitrile gloves are considered to be the ideal choice in emergency situations when the allergy status of a patient or user is not known. Nitrile gloves are extremely durable and puncture resistant. Nitrile gloves can withstand exposure to oils, solvents, and chemicals which easily destroy natural latex gloves.

Nitrile gloves however are not as soft as latex gloves, and are not known for being easy to wear. In fact, their strength is a weakness when dealing with applications that require fine movements and dexterity. Nitrile is also slightly more expensive to produce.

Nitrile gloves are becoming a standard medical supply for hospitals and emergency personnel. But they are also being used by police officers, security guards, housekeepers, factory workers and veterinarians.

Nitrile Glove vs Latex Glove vs Vinyl Glove

Medical gloves are usually made from polymers such as latex, vinyl and nitrile, although you may find disposable gloves made of other materials, such as neoprene. The following is a quick comparison of nitrile vs. latex vs. vinyl gloves, including the differences in design and their unique benefits.

Powder-free Gloves vs Powdered Gloves

Powder-free gloves can be more expensive due to the process that needs to be done to remove the powder coating from the glove. However, gloves that are powder-free reduce the cause of allergies by lowering protein and chemical content. In addition, powder-free gloves are ‘cleaner’ to use than powdered gloves, since they don’t leave any residue on clothing or other surfaces.

Powdered gloves are usually lubricated with cornstarch, which makes them much easier to put on. Cornstarch coatings have replaced other powdering options such as lycopodium powder and talc because these other coating types have been found to irritate tissue. Nevertheless, even cornstarch can impede healing when coming into contact with tissues, so powder-free gloves are often preferred for surgeries and other sensitive procedures.

Medical Gloves Buyer’s Guide

There are two main types of medical gloves; examination gloves and surgical gloves. They can be made from various materials including latex, vinyl, and nitrile. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of gloves. Consumers should choose the appropriate product depending on their personal needs.

Surgical gloves are primarily used during the operation procedure, protecting the surgeons or the patients from the possible transmission of diseases. The standards for surgical gloves are therefore stricter compared to examination gloves in terms of material selection and manufacturing processes.

Nitrile Surgical Gloves

Nitrile gloves are made out of synthetic rubber as a substitute for the more traditional latex gloves. Nitrile surgical gloves are gaining its popularity in recent years for its numerous advantages, such as causing less of an allergic reaction to hands, more resistant to puncture and corrosivity, compared to latex gloves.

Nitrile gloves are commonly used for medical, clinical and chemical purposes for its tenacity, flexibility and excellent antifouling performance. We list some pros and cons of nitrile gloves below.

Pros

• Lower allergy rate compared to latex gloves
• Latex-free
• BPA-free
• Phthalate-free
• Chemical resistant
• Puncture resistant
• Waterproof
• Oil-proof
• Flexible

Cons

• Thicker than latex gloves
• More expensive

Latex Surgical Gloves

Latex gloves are made of natural rubber and are often used as protective devices in hospitals and factories Latex gloves are flexible and skin fitting and are preferred for sensitive applications like surgery.

Though the rubber and powdered lubricant used for latex gloves could cause skin irritation issues to a lot of users, latex gloves are still extensively used. The following are some pros and cons of latex gloves:

Pros

• Form-fitting and tactile
• Durable
• Flexible
• Skidproof

Cons

• Could cause allergies to skin
• Nonresistant to chemicals
• Nonpuncture resistant

Vinyl Medical Gloves

Vinyl gloves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Vinyl gloves are generally disposable and are not as durable as latex and nitrile gloves. The main advantage of vinyl gloves is that they are latex-free and hence will not cause irritation to the user’s skin.

In addition, vinyl gloves are cheap to manufacture, soft and non-form fitting but comfortable to wear. However, vinyl gloves are thin and non-resistant to chemicals, punctures, and corrosives and thus not favored by surgeons or medical professionals for surgical purposes.

However, vinyl gloves can be used for medical purposes in low-risk contamination environments. Vinyl gloves are also widely used in food processing industries, restaurants, DIY workshops and serve as the function as a simple barrier to contamination. We have listed some advantage and disadvantages of vinyl gloves below in the following:

Pros

• Do not cause an allergic reaction to skin
• Waterproof
• Oilproof
• Cost-effective
• Soft texture
• Thin-structured
• Suitable to handle food
• Suitable for everyday use

Cons

• Non-resistant to chemical, puncture, corrosive matters
• Weak performance in blocking off viruses and bacteria
• More delicate and easier to break compared to latex and nitrile gloves

Medical Exam Gloves

Examination gloves are extensively used among healthcare professionals to prevent contamination and pollution during the examination processes.

They can also be used in many other venues to protect users from unsanitary environments, such as blood drawing for blood tests or cleaning.

Examination gloves’ quality standards are generally not as high as surgical gloves and are more flexible in terms of materials, sizes, and thickness. Examination gloves can be either sterilized or unsterilized while surgical gloves are generally sterilized.

Chemo Medical Gloves

Chemo medical gloves are designed specifically to handle chemotherapy drugs and protect users from corrosive chemical exposures. Chemo gloves can be made of nitrile or polychloroprene.

It is generally recommended changing gloves every hour when working with cytotoxic drugs or changing gloves immediately when damaged or contaminated.

Reusable Medical Gloves

Generally speaking, medical gloves are disposable for the purpose of keeping sanitation and preventing cross-infection. However, medical gloves might be reusable if they are specially made of it. In the US, the FDA forbids the reusing of medical gloves.

Regulations

European Union

In the European Union, medical gloves are regulated by the Medical Devices Directive. In particular, the Standard EN 455, which is harmonized under the Directive, sets the main testing standards for the product.

The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Directive is also relevant for some kind of medical gloves, such as surgical gloves. In this case, the main Standard of reference is EN 374.

United States

In the United States, medical gloves are regulated by the FDA and classified as class 1. While surgical gloves fall under the scope of 21 CFR 878.4460, many other kinds of medical gloves fall under the scope of 21 CFR 880.6250.
