KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22 (Bernama) — NanoMalaysia Berhad and Bonric Sdn Bhd have co-ideated and jointly developed graphene infused electrostatic discharge (ESD) latex gloves with a projected revenue impact of more than RM100 million over the next five years.
ESD gloves are usually made of synthetic rubber and used to handle sensitive electronic parts in the electrical and electronics (E&E) industry. However, these latex ESD gloves have been enhanced with nanotechnology – making them thinner, tear-proof, biodegradable, and less susceptible to Type IV chemical allergy. This allows extensive application in numerous industries such as electronic disk drive; semiconductor; avionics; space technology; and even healthcare.
