Glove powder is a fine, talcum-like dust that is occasionally put to the internal surface of some types of gloves, notably latex gloves, to make donning and removal easier. The powder works as a lubricant, decreasing friction between the glove and the wearer's skin and making the gloves simpler to put on and take off. Gloves powder has a wide range of applications, including healthcare, food service, and industry. Glove powder is often made of cornflour or a synthetic substitute, such as calcium carbonate or modified cornflour. These powders absorb moisture, keeping your hands dry and minimising excessive sweating within your gloves.
