You would never use a glove with a fungicide in it, right? Well you might. Thiurams are accelerators that can be used in glove manufacturing to help the process of vulcanization - this makes a glove stronger and more elastic. Thiurams are also allergens capable of causing allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), and since the 1930s thiurams have been used extensively as germicides and fungicides.
As a certified organic company, or if you test your products for fungicides, the gloves handling your products are required to be clean and non-toxic. How can you be certain your gloves comply? Safety data sheets (SDS) give a broad overview of the glove ingredients and accelerators, but do not note specific compounds.
Eagle Protect offers two accelerator-free gloves, the Derma² (available in blue and black) and Sensitive nitrile exam gloves. These accelerator free gloves, additionally verified by Eagle's proprietary Delta Zero third-party testing, remove any risk of thiuram.
Because glove manufacturing is largely unregulated, at Eagle Protect we not only visit our factories to ensure quality of manufacturing, we test a range of our gloves for consistency of quality, and specifically for toxins, microbes and pathogens, to further prove their food and user safety.
