Product Description
CPE gloves are disposable gloves made of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) or polyethylene (PE) material. They are waterproof, oil-proof and non-slip, and are widely used in many fields such as household, industrial and medical. Materials and Features The main material of CPE gloves is chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) or polyethylene (PE), which is skin-friendly and odorless, comfortable to wear, like a second layer of skin. It has significant waterproof and oil-proof effects, and can effectively isolate liquids and greases to protect your hands from harm. In addition, CPE gloves usually have non-slip textures to increase grip and are suitable for environments that require delicate operations.
Application scenarios
● Catering industry: CPE gloves are widely used in the catering industry and are suitable for commercial scenarios and places that require high hygiene, such as kitchen cooking and food preparation. They can effectively prevent oil from penetrating into the gloves, keeping hands clean without affecting the flexibility of operation.
● Household cleaning: CPE gloves are often used for household cleaning, such as washing dishes, mopping the floor and cleaning. Its thickened design is durable and can effectively prevent rupture. The cuff design can also prevent water from flowing into the cuffs and keep hands dry.
● Medical care: CPE gloves are also used in medical care and can directly contact food to prevent cross infection. They have good waterproof and oil-proof effects, and can isolate odors, and are suitable for medical care, sanitation and cleaning operations.
● Chemical industry: CPE gloves have certain chemical resistance and are suitable for working environments that require protection, such as electronic chemicals.
● Food processing: CPE gloves are often used in food processing and conditioning to ensure food safety and hygiene.
● Beauty salons: CPE gloves can also provide good protection in places that require high hygiene, such as beauty salons.
Product Features and Advantages
Material Features of CPE Gloves:
CPE gloves are usually made of CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) material and have the following characteristics:
● Oil-proof and anti-seepage: It can effectively prevent oil from penetrating into the gloves and keep your hands clean.
● Good breathability: Compared with PVC gloves, CPE gloves are more breathable and will not make the wearer feel stuffy.
● Waterproof and anti-slip: It has good waterproof and anti-slip properties and is suitable for various working environments that require protection.
● Non-toxic and safe: CPE gloves are usually made of food-grade materials, safe and non-toxic, and suitable for food processing and catering industries.
3. Technology and craftsmanship
Material System and Pretreatment
CPE gloves are made of a blended modified material of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and polyethylene (PE ) , and the flexibility and chemical resistance are improved by adding additives. Different from the single polyethylene material of traditional PE gloves, CPE composite materials enhance the barrier properties and mechanical strength through vinyl chloride copolymerization modification.
Film blowing and dipping molding:
The blended material is melted at high temperature and then formed into a basic film material through a film blowing process. Some processes use a dipping method combined with mold forming technology to achieve thickness uniformity control (thickness can reach 0.08-0.12mm) by dipping into a curing agent bath multiple times^[3][6]. The mold surface can be designed with anti-slip patterns to increase the friction coefficient of the gloves.
Vulcanization and Sterilization
The gloves after molding need to go through the vulcanization process (high temperature and high pressure environment) to enhance the cross-linking degree of rubber molecules, improve tensile strength and elasticity. Finally, ethylene oxide gas or gamma ray sterilization is used to ensure that the product meets food grade or medical grade hygiene standards.
● Composite modification technology : CPE and PVC are blended to achieve triple protection of water resistance, oil resistance and solvent resistance. The water permeability can be as low as 2g/m²·24h, and the oil-proof penetration time is more than 30 minutes (laboratory test data);
● Functional coating : Some high-end products introduce food-grade antibacterial coatings that can directly contact food and inhibit bacterial growth;
● Extended Arm Guard Design : The 60cm extended version of the gloves covering the elbows adopts a segmented pressure-sealed process to ensure that the protection range is extended while maintaining flexibility.
● Physical properties : tensile strength ≥10MPa, elongation at break ≥400%, wear resistance is more than 30% better than ordinary PE gloves;
● Chemical protection : Passed 24-hour 10% acid and alkali solution immersion test, no penetration, no damage;
● Sanitary Certification : Meets FDA food contact material standards, and some products have passed CFDA medical device certification.
