Looking for a thicker blue nitrile glove? Medicom Kolmi's 1142 offers a thickness of 0.11 mm at the finger and 0.10 mm at the palm with a unit glove weight of 5.2 grams, whereas most products are sometimes below 3 grams!!
Most disposable gloves are manufactured in China, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. The Covid 19 pandemic has highlighted the absolute dependence of France and even Europe on this range of products with prices having reached peaks, a direct consequence of the strong demand on these Asian manufacturing sites.
It is in this context that Medicom - Kolmi - Hopen, a French industrialist located in Angers and a leading manufacturer of personal protective equipment, including the range of surgical and FFP masks made in France , is launching a production line for blue nitrile gloves "made in France".
So yes, these gloves are significantly more expensive to manufacture and therefore in terms of final pricing, but they ensure quality manufacturing in France and, above all, incomparable responsiveness and quality control.
Made without latex or accelerator, this glove is specially developed for personnel at risk of allergies.
