Product Properties

The one-stop shop for materials in NBR glove dipping process

NBR glove manufacturing process flow: from NBR latex and compounding through coagulant and latex dipping, vulcanisation, leaching and stripping to final gloves

Glove properties made with NBR Latex

Below are typical properties of gloves made with NBR Latex containing our curing system Matcure V 3613 at a glove weight of ca. 3.5 g, cured at 120°C for 20 minutes.

Our product range offers a spectrum of properties to suit your requirements, and we can also tailor-make the curing system and auxiliary products to suit your process and final glove performance.

Force and strain at break (EN and ASTM standards are the minimum requirements)

Force at break of NBR compound with Matcure V 3613, unaged and aged, compared with EN 455-2

Strain at break of NBR compound with Matcure V 3613, unaged and aged, compared with ASTM D-6319

Stress at break and stress relaxation (ASTM and internal standards are the minimum requirements)

Stress at break of NBR compound with Matcure V 3613, unaged and aged, compared with ASTM D-6319

Stress relaxation at 6 minutes of NBR compound with Matcure V 3613 compared with internal standard

Durability, chemical permeation and solvent swell

With our range of curing systems, we can support you in achieving high-quality gloves with robust strength and a range of flexible or stretch property, as well as offering good durability according to international and internal standards. At the same time, the gloves also exhibit good chemical permeation performance.
