Introduction

1.1 Background

During my internship, the company that under is called Flexitech Sdn Bhd.

During the course of my internship in Flexitech Sdn Bhd, the companys production lines manufacture Disposable Gloves and Cleanroom Gloves. The gloves that are produced in Flexitech are normally differentiated by the number of chlorination dipping of the gloves produces which are classified into single chlorine dipping (OSC) or double chlorine dipping (ODC). The chlorine dipping process is a substitution process which chlorine substitutes protein functional group with the natural rubber or synthetic rubber where the surface of the latex. All glove that were produce for disposable gloves and cleanroom gloves are OSC glove where the inner side of the glove is smooth so that glove can be easily wear by consumers. The difference between the cleanroom gloves and disposal gloves is where the Cleanroom Gloves undergoes a second chlorination process (ODC process) where chlorine is use to smoothen the outer surface of the gloves. The purpose of smooth surface for the cleanroom gloves is to ensure and prevent that particles lodge and adsorb towards the smooth glove outer surface during the packaging of the cleanroom gloves as particles are known to contaminate healthcare/semiconductor sector.
