Natural rubber latex gloves production is an interesting process that starts with nature and ends with comprehensive barrier protection. Each step along the way ensures the gloves are of the utmost quality when they arrive to distributors and end users.
Here is an overview of the production cycle from start to finish:
The process begins with the Hevea brasiliensis tree,which mostly grows in Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam,Thailand and Indonesia. Farmers extract the trees' milky white latex sap from mature trees through a process called tapping. This occurs in the early morning, as the sap coagulates faster when temperatures rise later in the day. Farmers start by stripping bark from the tree at adownward curve. This directs the sap to a spile, which then allows the latex to drip into a cup affixed to the tree. Then, farmers boil the milky white latex to make it more concentrated, which gives the sap a consistency similar to syrup. Rubber trees are suitable for tapping for five years.
