The production of our gloves starts from the rubber trees found in the best performing plantations in Asia. After a rubber tree reaches approximately 6 to 7 years of age, it is rapped by making a spiral cut through its bark. Frequency and method of tapping vary.

Production stages
All our gloves are produced by following strictly
each one of the following stages:
The latex flows through the spiral cut and is collected in cups hanging on the tree below the cuts. It is that white milky sap.
...
Latex is then transferred in large containers to processing stations, while mixed with ammonia and other preservatives.
...
Hands-shaped molds made by ceramic or aluminum go through a thorough washing in soapy water and bleach to remove even the smallest trace of residue or contaminant.
...
The molds then pass through revolving brushes so that all hard-to-reach areas between the fingers are scrubbed.
...
Next, they dive into hot water and then swivel over the rail carrier until they get completely dry.
...
In the next stage, a film is formed on the surface of the molds by heading them into a chemical bath. Liquid rubber – which is coming later – will not adhere to bare ceramic but it will to this substance.
...
The hand molds then dive into warm liquid rubber to be coated with the rubber gel and spin to shake off any drops.
...
Then the cuffs are rolled up after washing, drying and spinning through brushes so that they are later pulled off the mold more easily.
...
In producing natural rubber gloves, removing from the mold is much easier and is caused by bursts of pressurized air.
...
Water is pumped into each glove one by one to test against any leaks proving its water tightness.
