example 1

[0048] A mixture was prepared having the formula described previously and included in Composition 2-Table 2. Sufficient water was added to bring the total solids of the prepared mixture to approximately 15%. Air was incorporated into the mixture by means of a wire wisk attached to the air mixing device, resulting in a final mixture comprising approximately 70% air by volume and 30% mixture by volume.

[0049] Gloves made of a woven base are applied to formers in the usual manner, and they are first dipped in a calcium nitrate coagulant mixture comprising surfactants and handling aids. The glove is then dipped in the nitrile mixture and the glove is withdrawn. The air incorporated into the mixture caused the "burst" of the pores and allowed excess mixture to drip from the glove during a dwell period of approximately three minutes.

[0050] The application of dots of polymer (PVC) was done manually, positioning the dots according to the size and position described here. The p...

Abstract

A glove (10) or apparel formed at least partially from a knitted thread substrate and including areas (16) on an outer surface which has a substantially continuous surface (14) surrounding ends of the finger portions and thumb portion of the glove and areas which have a substantially non-continuous surface (22) positioned over the palm portion and the back of the hand portion of the glove.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing laminates for use, for example, in the manufacture of wear-resistant garments, and to laminates so produced, wherein the garment comprises at least one abrasion- and / or cut-resistant surface. Background technique [0002] Breathable gloves with finger surfaces that enable a good grip are highly desirable in industrial environments. However, the breathability of such gloves or garments often greatly reduces the cut resistance of such gloves or garments. Many of these breathable gloves are made of a fabric material (or a web of material), desirably a woven fabric. Although a coating or laminate on a portion of the fabric, such as the fingers, thumb and at least a portion of the palm, provides some protection and cut resistance, the cut resistance is very low. This is because the fabric as well as the coating or laminate must be thin enough to provide dexterity and grip for a gloved user. Furtherm...
