Higher rubber glove prices likely


Price review: Margma is advising its members to revise their glove prices to better reflect the sharp rise in production cost.

 PETALING JAYA: Rubber glove prices may rise by as much as 9% to 12% within the next few days, mainly due to the after effects of Hurricane Irma.

According to the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma), the devastation has caused the prices of butadiene, an important material in the production of nitrile latex, to soar as its production has been severely affected.
