Essentially Rubber: Dunlop gloves 'born from trees'

Leading-edge designs and applications showing how elastomer materials contribute to all aspects of life and lifestyle in the 21st century:

Dunlop Home Products, part of Sumitomo Rubber Industries, is set to launch a new rubber glove product from “environmentally friendly” natural rubber that is easy to put on and take off. The “Suruntto Nugihame Mittens", have been dubbed as “gloves born from trees” and have been designed based on feedback from consumers. According to the company, when selecting rubber gloves, consumers focus on the most important functions, especially ease of putting them on and taking them off. The three-mitt shape prevents the fingers from coming into skin-tight contact with the gloves and making easier to wear.
