- Wednesday, August 29, 2018

It has become apparent that as Nitrile hand-protection solutions have become more prevalent around the globe, a higher incidence rate of reaction to residual chemical substances contained within such synthetic gloves is being registered amongst the donning population. Specifically, Type IV Hypersensitivity has become a growing concern, and this type of allergic contact dermatitis is often manifested via redness of skin, sclerosis, vesicles, itching, or hives. Chemical accelerators used to catalyse the molecular cross-linking of Nitrile gloves during the production process have been cited as key contributing factors to the increasing reports of Type IV allergies.
