,One must take into consideration that the chemicals gloves are being subjected to are to a degree very broad ranging,, says Michael Zedalis, Ph.D., senior vice president of technology at Ansell Healthcare. ,The world of chemicals is really quite complex.
...
That,s just an inherent material issue,, Zedalis says.
...
And with technological advances making gloves with material that is more chemically resistant, it therefore is possible to adjust the glove. ,You can make it thinner, and provide the same degree of chemical resistance, or make it the same thickness and get enhanced performance,, Zedalis says.
...
The inside of a glove affects performance, too. ,Your hand sweats naturally in a glove, so we,re looking at better means at managing perspiration,, Zedalis says.
