Contrary to conventional medical gloves that serve only as a passive barrier between microbes and your hands, GloveOn Protect antimicrobial gloves can play an important role in reducing the spread of infections by using its killing mechanism.
GloveOn Protect is designed to kill microorganisms on the external side of the glove quickly upon contact. The ingredient on the glove is a photosensitiser which generates singlet oxygen when exposed to light. This singlet oxygen oxidises the bacteria’s protein and lipid, thus leading to the death of microbes. Ultimately, GloveOn Protect antimicrobial glove helps reduce the risk of transmission from an infection source to a susceptible patient.
GloveOn Protect gloves have antimicrobial properties that can kill up to 99.999% of microbes*. Suitable to be used to help prevent healthcare-associated infections and in any situation where cross contamination is a major concern.

GloveOn Protect AntiMicrobial Gloves: AMG Technology
Quick Kill
Based on ASTM D7907 Standard Test Methods for Determination of Bactericidal Efficacy on the Surface of Medical Examination Gloves, AMG glove is effective in killing superbugs MRSA and VRE.
Test data has shown that AMG glove can kill up to 99.999% of selected microbes such as Staphylococcus aureus as quickly as 5 minutes. Further testing was conducted at a shorter contact time with kill rate recorded at 99.989% in 1 minute and 99.998% in 2 minutes.

- Hot Water (45 degrees Celsius)
- Sweat
- Saliva
- Ethanol
Unlikely Development of Bacteria Resistance
Singlet Oxygen technology employed has been assessed as low in regards to bacteria resistance. This is attributed to the non-specific nature off the glove’s bacteria-killing mechanism.
Generally, oxidative antimicrobials such as the AMG technology has been viewed as low probability for development of resistance by the EU Scientific committee.

Uncompromised Glove Properties
Apart from medical settings, AMG glove has been proven safe for use in different applications and industries. Its safety and effectiveness are proven to ensure it befits its intended use.
1. Medical
Tested for impermeability and glove strength, AMG glove is effective in preventing contamination between patient and healthcare practitioner, as well as for handling various chemotherapy drugs. All tests conducted are in accordance to recognised international standards such as ASTM D6319, EN 455 and ISO 11193 part 1.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The glove has been tested to protect users from substances and mixtures that are hazardous to health, and harmful biological agents that may cause very serious consequences or damage to health. Tests conducted are in accordance to the harmonised standard which complies with PPE Regulation. Some countries may require further registration.
3. Food Handling
The glove has been tested safe for food contact according to the standards of US FDA, BfR XXI German Recommendation and Japan Food Sanitation on various types of simulants representing different types of food that are acidic, alcoholic and fatty in content.
