In the field of disposable gloves manufacturing, the manufacturing technique is very important for manufacturers. An efficient and sophisticated manufacturing process is the key to ensuring product quality, meeting market demand, improving production efficiency and reducing costs. It is directly related to whether manufacturers can gain a foothold in the highly competitive market and whether they can produce disposable gloves that meet the needs of different industries.
BasicProcess ofGloveManufacturingProcess
ChooseRawMaterialSource
Disposable gloves are usually made using a variety of raw materials, of which rubber and plastic are more common. Rubber is divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Rubber gloves have good elasticity and flexibility and can adapt to different operating requirements, especially in the medical field, where rubber gloves perform well when the fit of the hand is required to be high. Plastic gloves, such aspolyethylene gloves(PE gloves) or polyvinyl chloride gloves (PVC gloves), are relatively low in cost and are widely used in industries with relatively low protection requirements such as food processing.
Hand FormerProduction
The design and manufacture of hand formers are important links in the manufacturing of disposable gloves. First, the designer will determine the shape and size of the gloves based on the clients’ requirement and market demand. Three-dimensional modeling is performed using CAD software, and then precision processing equipment such as CNC machine tools is used to accurately process the designed hand former shape. The accuracy of the hand former determines the shape accuracy and size consistency of the gloves.
GloveMolding
There are many ways to mold gloves, among which injection molding and dipping are more common. Injection molding is to heat and melt the raw materials, inject them into the hand former through an injection machine, and cool and mold them in the hand former. Dipping molding is to immerse the hand former in liquid raw materials, and then use a certain process to make the raw materials adhere to the surface of the hand former to form the shape of the gloves.
In the molding process, key steps include temperature control, injection or dipping speed, and cooling time of hand former. For example, during the injection molding process, if the temperature of the raw materials is too high, it may cause defects such as bubbles in the gloves; if the injection speed is too fast, the thickness of the gloves may be uneven.
VulcanizationTreatment
Vulcanization is an important process in the manufacture of rubber gloves. The principle of vulcanization is that under certain temperature and pressure conditions, the vulcanizer reacts chemically with the rubber molecules to change the molecular structure of the rubber. The strength, elasticity and wear resistance of rubber gloves that have been vulcanized have been improved. It can better resist external forces such as stretching and friction, and extend the service life of the gloves.
Post-processingProcess
Post-processing process includes demoulding, cleaning and trimmingand packagingof gloves. Demolding is to remove the formed gloves from the mold. This process requires careful operation to avoid damaging the gloves. Cleaning is to remove impurities and residual chemicals on the surface of the gloves to ensure the cleanliness of the gloves. Trimming is to remove the excess parts of the edge of the gloves to make the gloves look neater.
Post-processing is very important to improve the quality of gloves. Clean and neat gloves not only meet market demand in appearance, but also avoid adverse effects on users due to impurities and other problems during use.

AdvancedProductionTechnology
INTCO Medicaluses a series of advanced equipment and automation systems. For example, in the injection molding process, high-precision injection molding machines are used, which can accurately control the injection volume and speed of raw materials to ensure the quality stability of gloves. The automated production line can achieve continuous production, greatly improving production efficiency.
Technological innovation plays a key role in INTCO Medical’s manufacturing process. By continuously developing new production technologies, INTCO Medical is able to produce disposable gloves with higher quality and better performance. For example, the improvement of hand former makes the gloves fit better and improves the user experience.
StrictQualityControl
INTCO Medical has a very strict quality control process. Starting from the purchase of raw materials, the raw materials are strictly inspected to ensure that they meet the relevant standards. During the production process, multiple quality inspection points are set up to conduct random inspections on products in each production link. For example, tensile testers are used to test the strength, elasticity and other properties of gloves. Only gloves that pass all inspection processescan enter the market.
EnvironmentalSustainability
During the production process, INTCO Medical has taken a number ofenvironmental protectionmeasures. For example, the waste gas generated during the production process is purified to reduce the pollution to the atmospheric environment. In the selection of raw materials, recyclable or degradable materials are also preferred. On the one hand, the emission of pollutants is reduced and the surrounding ecological environment is protected; on the other hand, the use of recyclable or degradable materials helps to promote the entire industry to develop in the direction of green manufacturing.

Application ofNewTechnologies
With the continuous development of science and technology, new technologies such as 3D printing and smart materials are expected to be applied to glove manufacturing. 3D printing technology can realize personalized glove manufacturing and customize gloves according to the hand shape and needs of different users. Smart materials can give gloves more functions, such as temperature sensing and antibacterial functions.
PersonalizedCustomization
The market demand for personalized gloves is growing. Different industries and different users have different requirements for the color, thickness, and functions of gloves. For example, in the medical beauty industry, soft-colored and soft-touch gloves may be required; while in the heavy industry, thicker and more wear-resistant gloves are required.
In order to achieve customized production, manufacturerslike INTCO Medicalneed to establish a flexible production system that can quickly adjust production parameters according to customer needs. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen communication with customers and deeply understand their needs.
