Powder-Free & Powdered
Latex Examination Gloves
Product Description
Latex gloves are a common type of personal protective equipment that is used in a wide range of industries, including healthcare, food service, automotive, and manufacturing. Latex gloves are available in both powdered and powder-free varieties, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Powdered latex gloves are coated with a fine powder, usually cornstarch, to make them easier to put on and take off. The powder also helps to absorb sweat and reduce the risk of skin irritation. However, powdered latex gloves have been associated with a number of health risks, including respiratory issues and skin allergies.
On the other hand, powder-free latex gloves are free from the powder coating and are therefore less likely to cause skin irritation or respiratory issues. They are a popular choice for individuals with latex allergies or sensitive skin. Powder-free latex gloves are also preferred in industries where workers are handling sensitive materials or performing tasks that require a high degree of precision.
One of the key benefits of latex gloves, whether powdered or powder-free, is their high level of sensitivity and dexterity. Latex gloves offer a snug fit that allows for a high degree of sensitivity and tactile feedback, making them ideal for tasks that require a high level of precision or dexterity.
Another advantage of latex gloves is their durability. They are resistant to punctures and tears, making them a reliable choice for tasks that require a high degree of protection. Additionally, Latex Gloves are more resistant to chemicals and oils than some other types of gloves, which makes them a preferred choice in industries where workers are exposed to these types of substances.

When choosing between powdered and powder-free latex gloves, it is important to consider the potential health risks associated with powdered gloves. While the powder coating may make the gloves easier to put on and take off, it can also cause respiratory issues and skin allergies in some individuals. Additionally, powdered gloves are no longer recommended for use in healthcare settings due to concerns about the potential for cross-contamination.
Latex powder-free and powdered gloves are widely manufactured in Malaysia, a country known for producing high-quality gloves that meet the standards of various industries. Natalie Group’s manufacturer uses advanced manufacturing techniques and the latest technology to produce gloves that are durable, resistant to punctures and tears, and offer excellent protection against chemicals and oils. Powder-free latex gloves are preferred in industries where workers are handling sensitive materials or performing tasks that require a high degree of precision. Powdered latex gloves are coated with a fine powder to make them easier to put on and take off, but they may cause respiratory issues and skin allergies.
In conclusion, latex gloves are a versatile and reliable type of personal protective equipment that offers a high level of sensitivity, dexterity, and protection. Whether you choose powdered or powder-free latex gloves, they can provide the protection you need to stay safe on the job. However, it is important to carefully consider the potential health risks associated with powdered gloves and to choose the appropriate type of glove for your specific task and industry.=
