Why do Latex Gloves turn yellow?
1. Because of its natural properties, latex will turn yellow when it encounters sweat, saliva and other liquids.
The latex material comes into contact with copper ions and turns yellow. Whether contained in human sweat or in our work environment, this color change has little effect, and even less on the performance of the glove. And most of the discoloration caused by this reason is the local discoloration of the contact part.
