Latex Allergies

Some users find themselves allergic to the proteins contained within natural rubber, which is why many have switched to other materials. However some gloves have been treated with chlorine and water then neutralised with ammonia, this reduces protein levels to below the limit of detection. Many latex sensitive users find they can use Chlorinated Latex Gloves without provoking an adverse reaction.

Please view our range of Chlorinated and Low Protein Latex Gloves. If you are unsure or still find you are allergic, Vinyl or Nitrile gloves may be a better choice for you.
