What is AQL?

Acceptable Quality Limit is a measure of the quality of a glove in terms of water leakage and other defects of a glove. This is assessed by random sampling of a batch which is defined according to the batch size and the number of gloves to be analyzed. The results provide a statistical probability that the result of the random sample, will also be valid for the entire batch-designated by the AQL. Where a customer places high demands on the product, they will require a glove with a lower AQL.

Do your gloves contain phthalates?

KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* does not directly include phthalates in any nitrile or latex glove formulations, and they have no reason to suspect that any of their raw materials contain phthalates. Phthalates are plasticizers; they are substances added to plastics to increase flexibility. They are used to turn polyvinyl chloride from a hard plastic into a flexible plastic and can be used in vinyl gloves to impart softness and flexibility. Phthalates can leach from the plastics and users can be exposed.
