Factors Affecting the Elasticity of Nitrile Gloves

The production of nitrile gloves is a complex process. The improvement of the process will enhance the production efficiency of the production line. Fengwang is proficient in the optimization of glove manufacturing machines and production processes. Please contact us at any time for any production line malfunction issues.

Purity of Raw Materials

High-purity nitrile rubber has a regular molecular chain structure, which provides better elasticity.
Low-purity nitrile rubber contains more impurities or other chemical additives, which can disrupt the normal arrangement and movement of nitrile rubber molecular chains, leading to reduced elasticity.

Types and Dosage of Additives

An appropriate amount of plasticizers and vulcanizing agents can enhance glove elasticity by increasing the flexibility of nitrile rubber molecular chains. However, excessive use of these chemical additives may cause the gloves to become sticky or overly soft.

The dosage of vulcanizing agents must be precisely controlled, as too much or too little can result in unstable physical properties of the gloves. For inquiries about vulcanizing agent dosage, contact us.

Production Process

The vulcanization process in production affects the elasticity of nitrile gloves. Proper control of parameters such as temperature, time, and pressure during vulcanization can effectively improve the quality of nitrile gloves.

Excessively high temperatures or prolonged vulcanization can cause over-crosslinking of nitrile rubber molecular chains, reducing glove elasticity. Conversely, insufficient temperature or time may lead to incomplete crosslinking, resulting in unstable elasticity and deformation issues.

Mold Design and Forming Process

The shape, size, and surface precision of the mold influence the thickness and forming effect of the gloves, thereby affecting their elasticity.

Usage Environment

In low-temperature environments, the elasticity of nitrile gloves decreases, making them stiff and inconvenient to use. In excessively high-temperature environments, the gloves may stretch or deform.

Exposure to Chemicals

Frequent contact with organic solvents, strong acids, or alkalis may cause chemical reactions with nitrile rubber, damaging the molecular chain structure and reducing elasticity. For example, prolonged exposure to gasoline, benzene, or other organic solvents can cause the gloves to swell, soften, or lose elasticity.

The factors mentioned above affect the elasticity of nitrile gloves. For any questions regarding glove production machinery or processes, please do not hesitate to contact us.
