3. Manufacturing Process
(1) Material Preparation
High-grade latex, nitrile, or PE is chosen and mixed with additives like curing agents and stabilizers to enhance strength, elasticity, and durability.
(2) Mold Treatment
Clean molds are coated with release agents before being dipped in the material solution.
(3) Dipping & Curing
Molds are dipped once or twice depending on desired thickness. Rubber-based materials undergo vulcanization at 80–120°C to ensure flexibility and tensile strength.
(4) Cooling, Demolding & Trimming
Cots are cooled, removed from molds, trimmed at the cuff, and inspected for holes, air bubbles, or defects.
(5) Cleaning & Sterilization (for medical grade)
Medical-grade
finger cots are washed with deionized water and sterilized using ethylene oxide or gamma irradiation.
(6) Packaging & Storage
Final products are packaged in sealed poly bags or boxes, clearly labeled with specifications and manufacturing details. Store in a dry, cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight and corrosive materials.
4. Usage & Storage Tips
•Always select the correct size to ensure comfort and performance.
•Check for packaging integrity and expiry date before use.
•One-time use only. Discard after each application to prevent contamination.
•Avoid incompatible substances. For example, latex should not contact oils or strong oxidizers.
Storage Conditions:
Store at 10–30°C in low humidity (<60%), away from heat, sunlight, or chemical vapors.
