Embodiment Construction

[0010]Embodiments of the present invention comprise coatings and gloves and methods for making durable coatings and gloves having improved physical properties, and especially abrasion- and cut-resistance properties, while maintaining a very thin and flexible glove for improved dexterity during use. Gloves disclosed herein have vastly improved abrasion resistance, as measured by Taber and Martindale abraders and test protocols, as well as increased cut resistance. For example, latex, polymeric, or elastomeric coatings, as well as coated gloves, made in accordance with embodiments of the invention, are capable of attaining EN level 4 abrasion resistance, while, heretofore, no coating or glove having a thin, flexible elastomeric, polymeric, or latex layer is known to have attained performance beyond EN level 3. Also, gloves in accordance with embodiments of the invention have attained an EN level 2 cut resistance where previous gloves achieved only a cut resistance of EN level 1.

Abstract

An elastomeric abrasion and cut resistant coating or coated glove, including a polymeric, elastomeric, or latex layer and, optionally, a fabric liner, is disclosed. Methods for manufacturing an elastomeric abrasion and cut resistant coating or coated glove substantially are also disclosed.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Appl. No. 61 / 666,502, filed Jun. 29, 2012, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to coatings and gloves and, more particularly, to coatings and coated gloves having improved abrasion- and cut-resistance and fabrication methods thereof.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]Coatings are used in many industries and are of particular use as protectants. Also, gloves are used in many industries, such as construction, industrial, and medical, as well as households, to protect the hands of users from abrasions, impacts, and physical injuries. Many of such gloves comprise polymeric materials as coatings, such as synthetic or natural latex or other elastomers, such as nitrile butadiene rubber and polychloroprene. And, some gloves have a foamed polymeric coating to impart flexibility and other c...
