Powder-Free Gloves: Why the Industry Moved On

Powdered gloves were once standard because the cornstarch made donning easier. Over the last decade most markets have moved away from them, and for good reason.

The problem with powder

Airborne powder can carry proteins and irritants, and in clinical settings residue has been associated with complications. Regulators in several markets restricted or banned powdered examination gloves as a result.

What replaced it

Modern powder-free gloves use polymer coatings or chlorination to make donning easy without loose particulate. The result is a cleaner glove with no meaningful compromise in comfort.

Every glove Andalusia Group supplies is powder-free by default. If your market still requires a powdered specification, tell us and we will confirm availability.
