Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a multilayer polymer product having a single don function and a method for producing the same. Background Art

[0002] Since the discovery of latex, the creation of many new and conventional products has been rampant over the years. These products, by being flexible, durable, and waterproof, have brought comfort and convenience to our daily lives. A good example of such a product is gloves. To date, many types of gloves are made from latex, including examination gloves, surgical gloves, industrial gloves, household gloves, and more. Furthermore, the rise of the glove manufacturing industry, particularly disposable surgical gloves, is not surprising due to its low cost and high production volume.

[0003] The demand for disposable surgical gloves has increased significantly in recent years, especially during the current pandemic. Gloves are used in many different industries (such as healthcare, research institutions or cleaning services), and many people wear gloves to protect themselves from direct skin contact with any harmful or infectious materials they may encounter during their work process. The demanding nature of these types of work requires disposable gloves that are durable but flexible, provide a good grip, and do not restrict the dexterity and movement of the fingers when worn. In addition, these gloves should also be hypoallergenic, not cause any irritation, and, depending on the nature of their use, should also be sterile. Since these disposable surgical gloves need to be flexible while still maintaining a sense of touch, it is no surprise that the thickness of the glove is an important factor.

[0004] Therefore, to reduce the chance of transmission and improve safety, glove users (especially those in the medical field) often wear two pairs of gloves, one over the other, to prevent infection or leakage of harmful substances due to undetected perforations in the gloves. While this approach does help prevent transmission, other problems have also been found, such as slippage of the outer layer of the gloves or reduced tactile sensation due to the thickness of the double gloves. These limitations are particularly concerning during certain activities, such as surgery.

[0005] Another product that deserves attention is the manufacture of condoms, and similar to the manufacture of surgical gloves mentioned above, condoms are manufactured to be as thin as possible to allow the user not to lose any tactile sensation, while being durable to ensure that breakage does not occur.

[0006] Furthermore, as previously mentioned, high demand has driven high production volumes. Consequently, one of the key challenges glove and condom manufacturers must overcome is reducing production defects, primarily holes. Unfortunately, holes are often undetectable and can pose a risk to users, especially when handling infectious or hazardous materials. Furthermore, in addition to manufacturing defects, these holes can also occur accidentally due to damage to the user's scalpel or needle.

[0007] To date, attempts have been made to address these issues. Australian patent AU2018212491B2 discloses a disposable multi-layer glove connected at the fingertips and cuff region, comprising an outer layer, an inner layer, and an intermediate layer, the intermediate layer being composed of particles having an average diameter of ≤100 μm and a surface comprising exposed OH groups. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the invention involves a dipping process of the two latex layers, resulting in a final glove thickness of 100 μm to 800 μm.

[0008] US Application No. US2006026737A1 relates to a multi-layer glove comprising an inner layer and an outer layer, with a pigment between the layers serving as a tear indicator. The presence of the tear indicator alerts the user to a tear in the glove, which can prevent the spread of infection. However, the thickness of the final product is neither specified nor disclosed, and further limitations may exist, as thickness plays an important role in allowing the user to maintain their sense of touch, thereby ensuring better working conditions.

[0009] On the other hand, EP1961319A1 further discloses a multi-layer polymer glove consisting of three layers at the fingertips, a double layer at the palm, and a single layer at the wrist, and is intended to protect the user from cold and chemical spills. However, due to the fact that the glove has three layers in the fingertip area, the sense of touch is significantly reduced. Overall, while the glove can provide good durability, dexterity is hindered.

[0010] Meanwhile, KR100190485B1 discloses a multi-layered condom that can prevent the leakage of internally produced fluids, such as semen, or the penetration of foreign matter that could be harmful to the user. This invention comprises a peelable outer surface that prevents the outer layer from coming into contact with the inner surface of the condom while it is being used. While this invention allows for greater protection due to its multi-layered construction, it does not provide a means of detecting any fluid rupture that could help prevent any undesirable transmission.

[0011] Therefore, there is a need for a new type of polymer product that provides the user with protection equivalent to wearing two layers of gloves at a time, is not only durable, but also thin and flexible enough and does not affect the user's sense of touch. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to produce a new type of polymer product and its production method, which provides the user with the protection equivalent to two pairs of gloves through a single wearing, which is not only durable but also thin and flexible enough and does not affect the user's sense of touch.

[0051] The invention relates to a multilayer polymer product (1) comprising a main body (4) and a secondary body (5), characterised in that the main body (4) and the secondary body (5) comprise an outer layer (2), one or more intermediate layers and an inner layer (3).

[0052] The present embodiment of the multi-layer polymer product is a glove. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the multi-layer product may be applied to other products such as condoms, raincoats, shower caps or any other suitable polymer article.

[0053] In this embodiment, the present invention also provides for an outer layer having a surface with improved and consistent gripping properties, and an inner layer having an inner surface that is easy to don and doff.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer layer (2), the middle layer, and the inner layer (3) of the body (4) are attached to each other only in one area of ​​the body (4), and the remaining layers remain discrete from each other. It should be understood that the attachment area can be any part of the body, such as the tip or end, but is not limited to one area.

[0055] In this particular embodiment, the outer layer, the middle layer, and the inner layer are attached to the secondary body (5) (not shown). It should be understood that although the layers of the secondary body in this embodiment are completely attached together, in other embodiments, partial adhesion of the layers of the secondary body (such as in a portion or area) may be utilized.

[0056] In addition, in this embodiment, the middle layer of the main body (4) includes an anti-stick solution coating and a polymer coating, and the anti-stick solution coating includes

[0057] i. Anti-caking agent;

[0058] ii. Pearlescent agent;

[0059] iii. Conditioning agents;

[0060] iv. surfactant;

[0061] v. functional lipids; and,

[0062] vi. Polyglycerol esters.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-caking agent comprises soap, stearic acid detergent, or a combination thereof, and the anti-caking agent acts as a separating agent to allow separation between discrete layers of the polymer, while the conditioning agent is an emulsion that provides a smooth finishing on the latex layer. In another embodiment of the present invention, the emulsion can be a cationic emulsion of an amine-functional silicone polymer, but is not limited thereto.

[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant may be anionic, cationic, or a combination thereof, which helps to condition the surface between the discrete layers.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer coating of the intermediate layer comprises

[0066] i. Adhesive;

[0067] ii. Stabilizer;

[0068] iii. Silicone;

[0069] iv. wax emulsion;

[0070] v. Matting agent;

[0071] vi. Dispersant;

[0072] vii. Wetting agents; and,

[0073] viii. Coupling agent.

[0074] In the same embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive comprises a soft adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, a medium-hard adhesive, a styrene-acrylic adhesive, or a combination thereof, and the adhesive serves to smooth the surface of the product, reduce friction between the polymer layers, and hold all materials together in the acrylic polymer coating. The silicone can be of low molecular weight, high molecular weight, or a combination thereof, which helps reduce the coefficient of friction and facilitates layer separation.

[0075] The presence of the aforementioned release coating solution and the polymer coating facilitates the production of discrete layers, as both coatings prevent adhesion of the polymer layer during the manufacturing process.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, the multilayer polymer product (1) comprises an elastomer selected from the group consisting of polyisoprene-polyisoprene latex, polyisoprene-chloroprene latex, polyisoprene-nitrile latex, polyisoprene-chloroprene-nitrile latex, or a combination thereof, and comprises a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm at the main body (4), while the secondary body (5) comprises a thickness greater than 0.3 mm. In addition, the secondary body is at least 50% thicker than a product having a single polymer layer, and thus has better tear strength and resistance to breakage. Despite being multilayered, the polymer product is thin and does not restrict movement or dexterity when worn.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer layer (2) and the inner layer (3) of the body (4) may be of different colors to serve as a rupture indicator.

[0078] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the product comprises a glove, a bag, a condom or a shower cap, but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment of the present invention, the product may also be any polymer product that needs to be worn.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present invention, a method of producing a multilayer polymer product comprises the following steps:

[0080] i. Provide a mold with the desired product shape;

[0081] ii. immersing the mold in a first coagulant until a preset immersion depth t1;

[0082] iii. dipping the mold into the first latex dispersion to a dipping depth of t1 to produce an inner layer;

[0083] iv. dipping the mold into a second latex dispersion to a depth of t1 to produce at least one intermediate layer;

[0084] v. Immersing the mold in the polymer coating until a predetermined immersion depth t2;

[0085] vi. Immersing the mold in the anti-stick solution coating until the immersion depth t2;

[0086] vii. Immersing the mold in a second coagulant until the immersion depth t1;

[0087] viii. Dipping the mold into the first latex layer to a dipping depth of t1 to produce an outer layer;

[0088] ix. Immerse the mold into the second polymer coating to a predetermined immersion depth t3.

[0089] In this particular embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined immersion depth t1 covers both the main body (4) and the auxiliary body (5), while the predetermined immersion depth t2 covers only the main body (4). On the other hand, the predetermined immersion depth t3 covers both the main body (4) and the auxiliary body (5), but is shallower than the depth of t1, being approximately 2 cm to 8 cm shorter than the immersion depth t1.

[0090] In the same embodiment of the present invention, dipping the first and second latex layers with the anti-adhesive solution coating and the polymer coating together will result in discrete layers, thereby enabling better detection of rupture. In addition, rupture detection is further enhanced by having individual latex layers of different colors.

[0091] The method as disclosed above can be used to produce the multilayer polymer product (1) as described above.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, the vulcanization step is performed on the outer latex layer (2), the middle latex layer and the inner latex layer (3) at a temperature between 80°C and 120°C (preferably 100°C).

[0093] In one embodiment, the present invention also relates to a multi-layer polymer product and a method for producing the same. The product may include gloves, raincoats, condoms, shower caps, or any polymer product that needs to be worn.

[0094] In another embodiment of the present invention, the polymer coating used in the method of the present invention comprises

[0095] i. Adhesive;

[0096] ii. Stabilizer;

[0097] iii. Silicone;

[0098] iv. wax emulsion;

[0099] v. Matting agent;

[0100] vi. Dispersant;

[0101] vii. Wetting agents; and,

[0102] viii. Coupling agent.

[0103] Examples of multi-layer polymer products

[0104] Example 1

[0105] In one example, the product of the present invention is a surgical glove. A key characteristic of a good pair of surgical gloves is comfort during any activity. Furthermore, multi-layer gloves provide the user with the ability to wear multiple layers of gloves in a single-donning system. Advantageously, the cuff of the glove will not slip or roll off during use, which could be harmful if the user's hands are exposed to chemicals or biological fluids.

[0106] Multi-layer gloves (such as the double gloves described above) can reduce the risk of inner glove perforation by 71% compared to single-layer gloves and are recommended by professional organizations such as the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

[0107] Furthermore, in this example of the invention, the discrete layers are different colors, allowing for earlier detection of glove leaks, allowing users to change their gloves as soon as they realize a hole has been detected. Once a hole is detected or noticed, the glove can be quickly removed because the multi-layer glove is connected at the cuff, allowing it to be worn as a single glove. Even multi-layer gloves can be similarly changed in a single operation. This also saves time and effort compared to wearing two pairs of gloves. Notably, double-gloving wearers go unnoticed 82% of outer glove holes, posing a risk to the glove wearer.

[0108] Therefore, to achieve this, in one embodiment of the present invention, but not limited to, the product is designed into a glove shape by using a conventional straight-finger mold in the shape of a hand, which enables multiple layers to be formed with the same dimensions without any slack to conform to the contours of the hand. These conventionally designed straight-finger molds are able to produce surgical gloves with precisely made dimensions in all areas, with an ideal fit that makes the user unaware of their presence during surgery, thereby providing excellent dexterity.

For example, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are different types or combinations of polyisoprene latexes that can also be used to produce the present invention. For example, while the following examples describe polyisoprene latex as the latex of choice, it should be understood that other latexes, such as polyisoprene-chloroprene latex, polyisoprene-nitrile latex, or combinations thereof, can also be easily substituted as the latex.

[0137] Production and processing of multi-layer polymer products

[0138] Description of the impregnation process based on a laboratory scale impregnation of three latex dips

[0139] The dipping process for this multilayer polymer product (i.e., surgical gloves) begins with cleaning and drying the mold. The drying process is completed by heating the mold in an oven at 60-70°C. Simultaneously, the coagulant mixture is heated to 55±2°C. The completely dried mold is immersed in the warm first coagulant (preferably a mold temperature of 55-60°C) and dried in an oven at 100°C for 15-20 minutes. The coagulant-coated and dried mold is then immersed in the latex compound. The process involves three latex tanks, two of which contain white latex compounds and the remaining tank contains green PI latex compounds. The total solids content (TSC) of the tank containing the white compound is 28-30%, while the total solids content of the tank containing the green compound is 35-37%. The coagulant-coated mold is immersed in latex tank 1, then dried in a 100°C oven for 2 minutes, and then immersed in latex tank 2. After latex tank 2 is immersed, it is then dried in a 100°C oven for 2 minutes. The latex-coated mold is then leached in hot water (60±2°C) to remove excess residual chemicals and surfactants. The leached mold is air-dried for one minute and then dipped into the first in-line polymer compound (Dip PUD). The Dip PUD is dipped from the fingertips to the wrist. The Dip PUD is then dried in a 100°C oven for 10-15 minutes. Once fully dried, the mold is dipped into a coating of anti-stick solution. The anti-stick solution dipping level is maintained at the same level as the Dip PUD. The anti-stick agent-impregnated mold is then dried in a 100°C oven for 2 minutes. Compared to the polymer solution, the anti-stick solution coating dries considerably faster. Afterward, the mold is dipped into Coagulant 2, extending the entire length from the fingertips to the cuff. The mold coated with the second layer of coagulant is then dried in a 100°C oven for 8 minutes. Next, it is dipped into a third layer of latex compound (green). This only requires a single coat. This is then leached a second time, hemmed, and coated with a second coat of in-line polymer compound (Dip 95). Finally, the mold fully coated with three layers of latex is cured in a vulcanization oven at 125°C for 30 minutes. After vulcanization is completed, the gloves are peeled from the mold. The peeled gloves are then tumbled at 60-90°C for 50-80 minutes.

[0140] Description of the impregnation process for laboratory scale impregnation based on double latex impregnation

[0141] Another dip process for a multi-layer polymer product (i.e., a glove) begins with cleaning and drying the mold. The drying process is completed by heating the mold in an oven at 60-70°C. Simultaneously, the coagulant mixture is heated to 55±2°C. The completely dried mold is dipped into a warm Coagulant 1 mixture (preferred mold temperature is 55-60°C) and dried in an oven at 100°C for 15-20 minutes. The coagulant-coated and dried mold is then dipped into a latex compound. This process involves two latex tanks, one white and one green PI latex compound. Both the white and green compounds have a total solids content of 35-37%. The coagulant-coated mold is dipped into Latex Tank 1 and dried in a 100°C oven for two minutes. The latex-coated mold is then leached in hot water (60±2°C) to remove excess residual chemicals and surfactants. The leached mold is air-dried for one minute and dipped into Polymer 1, Dip PUD, from the fingertips to the wrist. Dip PUD needs to be dried in an oven at 100°C for 10-15 minutes. The fully dried mold is also dipped into the anti-stick solution from the fingertips to the wrist and dried in an oven at 100°C for another two minutes. The anti-stick solution coating dries quite quickly compared to the polymer solution. Afterwards, the mold is dipped into Coagulant 2 from the fingertips to the cuff. Coagulant 2 needs to be dried in an oven at 100°C for 8 minutes, and then the coagulant-coated mold is dipped into Latex Tank 2 (Green Compound). Then, it is leached, followed by crimping, and then dipped into Polymer 2 (Dip 95). Finally, the mold, which is fully coated with multiple layers of latex, is cured in a vulcanization oven at 125°C for 30 minutes. After vulcanization is complete, the glove is stripped from the mold. The stripped gloves are tumbled at 60-90°C for 50-80 minutes.

[0142] Offline Processing of Standardized Double-Layer Polyisoprene Surgical Gloves

[0143] The post-tumble gloves are conditioned at room temperature for no less than 48 hours before being transferred to the offline facility. Offline processing begins with chlorination. After chlorination, the gloves are rinsed three times with clean water to remove excess chlorine solution. Once the rinse is complete, the gloves are tumbled freely (without increasing the temperature) to remove excess water before being rinsed with an offline polymer coating (CS33). This process requires a 20 to 45 minute rinse. The gloves are then dried in a tumble dryer at 55-65°C for 75-105 minutes. The dried gloves are sprayed with a grip conditioning polymer solution and dried at 50-60°C for a further 45-60 minutes. Finally, the gloves are cooled in the tumble dryer for 10-20 minutes.

[0144] Although the present invention has been described in the specific embodiments as above, it should be understood that the above description does not limit the present invention to the details given above. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention or the scope of the appended claims.
