Dipping

This is the process of submerging glove formers (molds) into tanks containing a compound or a solution. The hand shaped formers are coated with a coagulant (e.g. calcium nitrate) and dipped into the latex to coat them with a thin film of latex. The coagulant converts the liquid latex into a wet gel on the former. Subsequent passage through a warm oven completes the coagulation process.
