Strength, protection, and safety in food handling
Customer’s need
A major wholesale distributor in the food service sector was looking for professional disposable gloves to offer its clients: delicatessens, fast-food chains, and large-scale retailers. The request was specific: they needed food-grade latex gloves with no internal cotton flocking (considered contaminants), high sensitivity, mechanical strength, and a color that could be easily distinguished from food.
Operators handle food and sharp tools for many hours a day, so the gloves had to ensure ergonomics, a firm grip, safety, and tactile sensitivity. Furthermore, in the food sector, it is essential that gloves comply with strict European food-contact regulations (MOCA) and minimize the risk of contact dermatitis from prolonged use.
The Reflexx solution
After a detailed technical assessment, the distributor chose Reflexx 98 latex gloves, designed to meet these exact needs.
Reflexx 98 is a powder-free disposable latex glove of high thickness, internally chlorinated to ease donning and reduce allergy risks. The micro-rough finish enhances grip even with moisture or oily foods, while the blue color ensures immediate visibility on food counters. The powder-free feature limits skin reactions, making it ideal for extended use.
The results
By choosing Reflexx 98 disposable latex gloves, the distributor achieved several strategic goals:
- Ensuring a food-safe product compliant with European regulations.
- Offering clients a highly resistant latex glove suitable for prolonged use.
- Enhancing service perception through a certified, high-quality glove with an excellent price-performance ratio.
