Manufacture of the G-VIR® gloves is currently being performed in a dedicated plant . The process is based on a dipping process during which forearm-shaped porcelain moulds ("formers") are subjected to the following steps. They are:

•  plunged into a mixing tank

•  drawn out slowly in order to deposit the polymer mixture

•  rotated in order to produce a uniform layer on the former's surface

•  dried in an oven

This process is repeated several times in order to create the different layers that make up the glove. Once all the layers have been made, the gloves are edged, released from the former and then dried so as to evaporate traces of residual solvent.

All the dipping operations are performed in the presence of solvent - hence the necessity to work in an enclosed environment. Solvent vapor is recovered and incinerated as an environmental protection measure.

In order to control microbiological contamination of the gloves as much as possible during production, the G-VIR® glove is checked and packaged in a class 100000 controlled environment area (cleanroom).

The G-VIR® gloves are sterilized by gamma irradiation.
