The demand of medical examination gloves increases drastically during COVID-19 pandemic. This is much higher than before COVID-19 pandemic.

And, we are fully operational with all its activities related to production, warehousing, and shipping of Resonac Chloroprene latex to ensure the stable supply of Resonac Chloroprene latex during Covid-19 pandemic.

New glove makers are blooming during this demanding season, and consumers would buy whatever gloves that are supplying in the market because of limited supply. However, consumers would start to choose the best gloves when the Covid-19 pandemic was over, or when the supply was greater than demand. Besides price concern, the performance of the glove is equally important, and this is differentiating you from your competitors (NBR glove makers). Chloroprene glove could be your choice to build a competitive advantage. The quality of chloroprene gloves is better than NBR gloves in the viewpoint of softness and chemical resistance.
