How We Manufacture Quality Medical Gloves in Kemei
Many industries have stepped up to fill the need with the current demand for medical products, overtaking the supply in many cities and states because of the global pandemic. As a result, medical products manufacturers and suppliers have dramatically expanded production.
Kemei specializes in surgical gloves, nitrile examination gloves, latex examination gloves, and other medical supplies. Since our company's establishment, we have emphasized the quality and sterilization of our medical products, particularly the medical gloves.
Over the years, Kemei expanded our face protection, body protection, head protection, and foot protection products. We continue to find solutions that will address new challenges in the future as we build a comprehensive all-in-one stop for your pharmaceutical and medical supply needs.
This article will focus on how Kemei has produced quality medical gloves through the years. Let’s further discuss how we guarantee the best medical supplies using the latest production techniques and high-quality materials available.
Proper Cultivation of Sustainable Rubber Trees
Kemei focuses on the core by investing in rubber trees to guarantee a sustainable supply of fresh latex. This process starts with choosing healthy clones clipped from trees and replanting them in the proper and ideal soil type. Then, we employ optimized cultivation and harvesting practices to ensure these trees remain healthy as we extract the latex.
By growing and managing a healthy rubber tree forest, we further protect the environment by discouraging the use of non-farmed latex. This green effort, including advanced waste management and energy-efficient production, is a part of Kemei’s commitment to a sustainable business.
Impact of Latex from Rubber Trees to Latex Disposable Gloves
Every Kemei disposable latex glove is manufactured from natural latex, which is sourced from rubber trees. These trees are essential for various industries that require natural rubber, such as the automobile for tires and the construction industry for insulation. In addition, rubber trees are vital for developing Kemei’s medical disposable gloves and different latex-based products.
We are dedicated to researching and developing our rubber latex formula to respect these natural resources. We can create gloves with superior protection, function, safety, and comfort qualities by enhancing our formula.
Kemei’s Manufacturing Process
Here’s a detailed guide on how we create our quality medical gloves.
Latex and Nitrile Selection
While we also use disposable rubber for environmental sustainability, we source nitrile and concentrated latex-based on their protein content, durability, and overall safety. With suitable latex and nitrile, we produce a formula that lacks any irritants and is flexible for easy wearing.
In-House Compounding
To maintain consistent quality, we process non-toxic rubber through in-house compounding. Once the latex is compounded, we inspect to see if there are any excess chemicals to remove. Kemei ensures that we will select only the highest quality latex for glove production for further inspection.
Pre-leach, Vulcanizing, Post-leach
For spotless and durable gloves that are compatible with any wearer, we carry out a thorough process of pre-leach, vulcanizing, and post-leach. We have enough resources for these processes, with over four flowing pre-leaching hot water tanks and using up to 150,000 litres of bacteria-treated water daily.
To remove non-rubber particles and harmful rubber residues, we pre-leach our gloves in 80 ft. of treated hot water to remove pathogens and prevent contamination.
We carry out a thorough vulcanization process that strengthens the latex and material strength while reducing moisture content for long-lasting durability.

After vulcanizing, our gloves are post-leached in 60 ft. of flowing hot water measured up to 80℃ to wash off residual chemicals, including latex protein.
Powdering/Stripping
Having no protein content or contaminants, FDA-approved bio-absorbable dusting powder is essential in powdering gloves based on ASTM D-3577 standards for safe protein levels and lack of tact.
Powder Free Gloves
To keep gloves free from powder, we extract latex protein content and wash, chlorination, neutralization, rinsing, and drying in a particular area.
Vulcanizing/Tumbler
We prevent discoloration and foul odor through our tumbling process. Gloves are stored in a space where the temperature is critically controlled to help keep moisture at less than 0.75% and reduce powder content to less than 15 mg/dm2.
Quality Control
We need to note that there are two things gloves must go through:
Kemei’s latex gloves and other medical supplies go through 100% inspection and testing QC processes conducted by highly skilled and trained personnel in a well-equipped laboratory.
These processes include electrical testing for microspores among our latex gloves. Other methods include using an in-house microbiological lab that monitors the bio-burden level and sterility of the gloves. The strict QC system ensures all of our medical supplies are defect-free.
Here are some of the tests we perform:
We check on the tensile and integrity of our gloves through the extension test. The test ensures all of our gloves can withstand general usage with a minimum risk of tearing.
Inspectors utilize a gas chromatograph to check on the chemical properties of each medical supply, making sure all of them comply with regulations on the least amount of residue possible.?
All latex gloves, gowns, and other medical supplies are measured meticulously, making sure all of your orders have the proper dimension.
Trained inspectors fill all gloves with a specific volume of water, making sure none of our gloves can prevent body fluids and other dangerous liquids from penetrating the protective garment.
