[Integrated] Why does the rubber glove break? Why is rubber aging?

Our usual latex gloves are actually natural rubber products, but it has two weaknesses: rubber oil resistance and heat resistance are not very strong.

If you use it at a high temperature every day, and then you do not immediately clean the gloves after cleaning, you will accelerate the aging of the gloves over time;

Because the molecular structure of natural rubber is very similar to that of oil, it is easy for each other to enter each other's space. This is the similar phenomenon we often say. So when the oil stays on the gloves for a long time, it will slowly dissolve the gloves and accelerate its aging.

So be sure to avoid hot water and oil when washing things with gloves, otherwise the latex gloves will be aging at a rapid rate!

However, some people have said that our family's latex gloves not only become soft and sticky, but sometimes they become brittle and hard, and they are also very easy to break. Why?

Actually, this is due to the aging of natural rubber in two situations. If you frequently come in contact with oil and hot water, it will become soft and sticky. However, if you do not wash your gloves or constantly expose to the sun, you may become hard and brittle. .

In addition, rubber products such as plastic bottles, baby bottles, and the like, are all polymer materials in nature. Here to give you a reminder, in the use and maintenance should pay attention to: the first is to avoid prolonged contact with high temperature and oil; second, must be cleaned in time after use, dry in a ventilated place, do not be in the sun Exposure.
