What causes disposable gloves to smell?

Some additives (e.g., sulfur) give off a pungent odor, and gloves are cleaned to remove the odor before they leave the factory, but if the additives are excessive or not cleaned properly, the pungent odor will persist.

    2. Improper disposal after chlorine washing process

    Chlorine washing process is generally used for glove dusting. If it is not handled properly in the production process, chlorine molecules will remain. With the increase of time, chlorine molecules may gradually emit pungent odor.

Therefore, the gloves you buy should be kept in a cool, dry environment, away from moisture or sun exposure.
