Today gloves manufacturing industry is one of the largest and the fastest growing industry in the world, which is the serving the needs of a number of business and non business sectors.
Manufacturing gloves from latex is a multi-process which includes quality assurance and other processes to convert rubber into latex and then latex into gloves. The following steps are followed in the production process of such gloves. The raw materials used for production is Natural Rubber Latex for surgical gloves and Synthetic Latex for Nitrile gloves.

Some of the defects for which the gloves are rejected in packing section are: Improper cuff folding Improper wallet folding Pair's different size. Beading defects. Stamping errors. [...]

[...] Process Control: The process control section carries the function of: Checking the process samples (process solutions, dried gloves under process), in the specified interval. Testing of water samples (Soft water and DM water). Carrying out the testing of non-routine samples on request. Ensuring the cleaning and sanitizing activities of process lab in the prescribed manner. Facilities to Ensure Quality: Well equipped chemical lab. Microbiology lab. Instrumentation lab. Process control lab. The products are tested in the in-house laboratories according to the well documented test procedures. [...]
