The move comes as the global disposable glove industry undergoes structural transformation, driven by volatility in natural rubber supply, rising concerns over latex allergies, and increasingly stringent sustainability regulations. Against this backdrop, synthetic materials are gaining traction as a strategic alternative across healthcare and industrial procurement systems.
Strengthening Safety and Compliance with Syntex™
INTCO Medical's newly introduced Syntex™ Synthetic Latex Gloves are formulated without sulfur and contain no natural rubber latex proteins, helping to reduce the risk of latex-related allergies. The product has passed EN455 and EN374 testing and complies with both U.S. FDA and EU CE standards.
According to laboratory data, Syntex™ gloves achieve an average elongation at break of up to 650%, meeting ASTM D6319 medical glove standards. The product is designed to deliver a soft tactile experience while maintaining stable puncture resistance and chemical protection.
In addition, the absence of natural rubber inputs may help reduce compliance pressure related to the European Union's Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR), offering buyers a more predictable and transparent supply structure.
Enhancing Durability with Synmax Pro
Alongside Syntex™, INTCO Medical has launched Synmax Pro Gloves, designed to enhance abrasion resistance and operational durability in high-frequency usage environments.
Laboratory testing shows that Synmax Pro delivers elongation at break exceeding 400%, with abrasion resistance approximately ten times higher than conventional nitrile gloves under specified conditions. These features may help reduce replacement frequency and improve workflow efficiency.
The product is suitable for applications including medical examinations, food processing, and industrial manufacturing. A multi-color design also supports improved identification and management across different work zones.
Executive Perspective
"Amid ongoing adjustments in global supply chain structures, material innovation is not only about performance, but also about compliance capability and supply chain resilience," said Fangyi Liu, Chairman of INTCO Medical. "Through continued technological development, we aim to provide global partners with more adaptive and durable protective solutions."
Expanding Leadership in Non-Latex Gloves
With over 30 years of industry experience, INTCO Medical has established an integrated system spanning research and development, manufacturing, and global distribution. The company continues to strengthen its technological and scale advantages in the non-latex glove segment.
