health and safety of workers, as they spend an average of 8 hours a day with this protective equipment,

In this study, local and national nitrile glove production line investment and transition to production
activities and prescription determination studies were carried out for the production of nitrile gloves. It
was aimed to observe the effects of using chemicals in increasing and decreasing rates on the durability,
strength, chemical permeability, impermeability and physical test properties of the glove. The
production recipe was prepared with the determined optimum values.
