We have recently noticed that the number of incidents related to dermal and respiratory symptoms have increased during the last years. This is what we call “latex allergy”.

Latex is widely used in our environment, about 40,000 everyday and professional products contain both natural and synthetic latex.

According to the information provided by Ibermutuamur, after analysing the statistical data collected from occupational pathologies derived from exposure to latex there has been a significant increase of such pathologies, where about 5% corresponds to health personnel and less than 1% corresponds to general population.

In this occasion, we introduce you a new product of the growing disposable gloves family. It is the nitrile glove Aachen Fortis, as the rest of nitrile gloves, free of natural latex, suitable for natural latex´s alergic people. This material is very elastic, so it doesn´t add pressure to the hand and avoids the fatigue of the user. Its AQL is 1.0, what we remind, the quality is better when smaller is AQL number.

 This glove responds to a need that was primarily found in food industries and mechanical and automotive workshops. These sectors need the glove to be disposable, but also to have higher breaking resistance and tensile strenght. For example, disposable nitrile gloves intended for the health sector have a breaking resistance of around 6 Newtons (depending on the specific glove), and the Aachen Fortis one has twice the strength, 12 Newtons. It is the same with the tensile strength, the Aachen Fortis one exceeds the breakage resistance of a disposable nitrile glove designed for healthcare use by around 35%.

Due to the experience accumulated by CV Protection as bidder at public contracting, and because of the confusing interpretation that it is made by the companies and the Administration about the concept AQL, we found appropriate to write the present text, as technical support for buyers and users:

Firstly, we have to begin asking ourselves, what is the AQL? The AQL, or the acceptable quality level, is the sum of all the inspection techniques destined to guarantee a minimum level of quality in the massive production processes. In other words, it is the maximum percentage of error allowed.

A couple of months ago, CVProtection launched the Omega Line, Powder free Nitrile-Examination glove. This new protective product was introduced as an alternative to the brand AACHEN, guaranteeing the compliance with the quality requirements demanded for disposable gloves.

On that subject, recently, our company has obtained the certificates that assure the absolute compliance with EN 455/1-2-3, European Standards for Medical gloves and EN 374/1-2-3, EN 388 (Test Mechanical Risk) y EN 420, Protective Gloves Against Chemicals And Micro-Organisms (PPE, Category III).
