The addition of Novel Green Additives: Bio-Add in NRL gloves compounding ingredients has
increased the gloves susceptibility to biodegrade. Eventhough it decreased the gloves mechanical
properties, the result shows that the value for mechanical properties are still within ISO acceptable
range for glove production. As the green market growth tremendously by year, introduction of
biodegradable NRL gloves into the market under green technology segmentation will create an opporturnity for Malaysian NRL gloves industries to lead the global market in terms of research and
development.
