Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, when the glove base as described above is made of vinyl chloride, even if the flocking is done from the wrist forward, if the part from the wrist to the hem is made of vinyl chloride, the vinyl chlorides tend to stick to each other at the wrist etc., and there is a problem that workability and attachability / detachability are poor.

[0006] Also, if the flocking is done from the wrist to the hem to prevent this problem, although the sticking of vinyl chlorides is suppressed, due to the capillary phenomenon caused by the flocking, the hem gets wet all the way, and there is a new problem that clothes etc. get wet.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention uses vinyl chloride as the resin and is a cleaning glove with flocking applied to the part beyond the wrist, which has the function of improving cleaning performance and making tableware less slippery, while suppressing the sticking of vinyl chlorides to each other at the wrist or the like and the wetting of clothes, and aims to provide a glove with good workability and ease of attachment and detachment.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] The cleaning glove of the present invention is a cleaning glove in which the glove base is vinyl chloride and short fibers are flocked on at least a part of the outer surface of the glove base beyond the wrist, and at least the outer surface from the wrist to the hem of the glove base is one kind of resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin, internally cross-linked vinyl chloride resin, and urethane resin.

[0015] The glove base used in the cleaning glove of the present invention is vinyl chloride. This glove base can be manufactured, for example, by dipping a hand mold in a vinyl chloride sol, pulling it up, and then heating it to gelate to form a glove base of vinyl chloride.

[0016] The vinyl chloride sol used above is not particularly limited as long as it can form a vinyl chloride film. For example, in addition to vinyl chloride paste resin, if necessary, it contains a plasticizer, a stabilizer, a gelling agent, a pigment, etc. Here, the vinyl chloride paste resin is, for example, the same as that used for manufacturing the surface layer in conventionally well-known vinyl chloride gloves, and a polymerization degree of 800 to 2500 can be preferably used. Such a vinyl chloride sol may be prepared by a conventional method using commercially available products of the above components.

[0017] The hand mold used above is not particularly limited, but a biscuit hand mold used for manufacturing gloves is preferable. As the glove, it is preferable that the entrance of the hand is at least between the wrist and the elbow, preferably at the elbow. The entrance of this hand becomes the hem of the glove.

[0018] The conditions for dipping the hand mold into the vinyl chloride sol, pulling it out, and then heating it to gel are not particularly limited. For example, it is about 5 to 7 minutes at 180 to 230 °C. When at least the outer surface from the wrist to the hem of the glove substrate is made of an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin, it is made into a semi-gelled state instead of a gelled state. The conditions for making it into a semi-gelled state are not particularly limited. For example, it is for a shorter time than completely gelling at a temperature of 180 to 230 °C, for example, about 60 seconds to 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

[0019] The method of making at least the outer surface from the wrist to the hem of the above-mentioned glove substrate, preferably the entire outer surface, into one kind of resin selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin, an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin, and a urethane resin is not particularly limited, and the method may be appropriately selected according to the type of resin and the part.

[0020] For example, when making the entire outer surface of the glove substrate into an acrylic resin or a urethane resin, it is immersed in a solution capable of forming a film of the acrylic resin or the urethane resin up to the same position as the gelled vinyl glove substrate as described above, pulled out, and then heated. The heating conditions may be appropriately selected according to the type of resin. For example, if forming a film of an acrylic resin, it is, for example, 1 to 10 minutes at 150 to 250 °C. Also, if forming a film of a urethane resin, it is, for example, 1 to 10 minutes at 150 to 250 °C. When flocking short fibers onto the outer surface of the glove substrate using an adhesive as described later, this heating may be air drying.

[0021] The solution capable of forming a film of an acrylic resin is not particularly limited as long as it can form a film of an acrylic resin. For example, it contains an acrylic acid ester copolymer, etc. This solution may contain a filler of an acrylic resin if necessary. Such a solution capable of forming a film of an acrylic resin may be prepared by a conventional method, but it may also be used as a commercially available product. Examples of commercially available products include S-182 of Aika Kogyo Co., Ltd.

[0022] The solution capable of forming a urethane resin film is not particularly limited as long as it can form a urethane resin film. For example, it contains a polyurethane prepolymer or the like. Such a solution capable of forming a urethane resin film may be prepared by a conventional method, but since it is commercially available, it may also be used. Examples of commercially available products include Honey Chemical Co., Ltd.'s Honeycron and the like.

[0023] On the other hand, for example, when the entire outer surface of the glove substrate is made of an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin, the semi-gelled vinyl chloride glove substrate as described above is immersed in a thin film forming agent containing an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin, pulled up, and then heated to manufacture it.

[0024] The heating conditions are the conditions under which the vinyl chloride sol gels. For example, it is about 200 to 230 °C for about 5 to 7 minutes. Thereby, a film of an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin (with minute protrusions formed) can be formed on the outer surface of the glove substrate. Incidentally, when flocking short fibers on the outer surface of the glove substrate as described later, this heating may be performed after flocking, and appropriate cleaning may be performed before flocking.

[0025] The thin film forming agent containing an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin contains vinyl chloride resin with a particle size of about 1 to 10 μm, in which the polymer molecules are partially crosslinked internally by copolymerizing a vinyl chloride monomer and a polymerizable monomer.

[0026] The degree of crosslinking of the vinyl chloride resin in this thin film forming agent is related to the unevenness during film formation. When the degree of crosslinking is low, no unevenness is formed. Conversely, when the degree of crosslinking is too high, melting during heating is insufficient and welding to the glove body becomes difficult. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to use one with a crosslinking degree in the range of about 40% to 95%, particularly around 80% crosslinking degree.

[0027] Such a thin film forming agent may be prepared by a conventional method, but it may also be used as it is commercially available. Examples of commercially available products include vinyl chloride resin C-38 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation, vinyl chloride resin PX-UH manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., and the like.

[0028] In addition to the vinyl chloride resin, this thin film forming agent may contain, if necessary, a plasticizer, a surfactant, a stabilizer, an antifoaming agent, a diluent (solvent), and the like.

[0029] As described above, the glove base is made of vinyl chloride, and at least the outer surface from the wrist to the hem of the glove base can be made of one resin selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin, an internally cross-linked vinyl chloride resin, and a urethane resin.

[0030] The cleaning glove of the present invention has short fibers flocked on at least a part of the outer surface of the glove base from the wrist forward. However, the method of flocking the short fibers is not particularly limited, and the method may be appropriately selected according to the type and part of the short fibers.

[0031] The short fibers are not particularly limited, but may be, for example, any of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, and chemical fibers. Examples include natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and silk, chemical fibers such as rayon, cupra, acetate, and lyocell, and synthetic fibers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and nylon. Among these, from the viewpoint of ease of treatment with the moisturizing component described later, it is preferable to use chemical fibers such as rayon and natural fibers such as cotton.

[0032] The thickness and length of the short fibers are not particularly limited. For example, the thickness may be in the range of 0.1 to 50 decitex, preferably 0.5 to 5 decitex, and the length may be, for example, 0.1 to 150 mm, preferably 0.5 to 3.0 mm. Examples of commercially available products of such short fibers include R1DxS manufactured by Shin Nissen Co., Ltd.

[0033] The method of implanting the short fibers is not particularly limited. For example, before releasing the cleaning glove obtained above, at least a part of the outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist of the glove substrate is treated with an adhesive, and then the short fibers are implanted into the said part.

[0034] At least a part of the outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist where the short fibers are to be implanted is not particularly limited as long as it is a place necessary for cleaning. For example, the whole outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist or the palm is preferable.

[0035] The method of treating at least a part of the outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist with an adhesive is not particularly limited. For example, there are methods such as dipping the adhesive into at least a part of the outer surface beyond the wrist, applying the adhesive to at least a part of the outer surface beyond the wrist, spraying the adhesive onto at least a part of the outer surface beyond the wrist, and the like.

[0036] The type of the adhesive is not particularly limited as long as it can adhere the short fibers to the outer surface of the glove substrate and enable fiber implantation. For example, an adhesive containing a resin of the same series as the resin on the outer surface of the glove substrate is preferable, and particularly an adhesive containing an acrylic resin and / or a urethane resin is preferable. The adhesive containing an acrylic resin is not particularly limited. For example, it contains an acrylic acid ester copolymer or the like. Such an adhesive containing an acrylic resin may be prepared by a conventional method, but since it is commercially available, it may also be used. Examples of commercially available products include S-1200 of Aika Kogyo Co., Ltd. Further, the adhesive containing a urethane resin is not particularly limited. For example, it contains a urethane resin or the like. Such an adhesive containing a urethane resin may be prepared by a conventional method, but since it is commercially available, it may also be used.

[0037] After treating at least a part of the outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist with an adhesive as described above, the short fibers can be implanted by spraying or the like. The spraying of the short fibers is preferably carried out in a closed space. Also, as the method of fiber implantation, electrostatic fiber implantation using static electricity is preferable.

[0038] After the short fibers are implanted, the conditions for drying the adhesive may be appropriately selected and dried. Further, when the resin described above has not been dried, drying may be performed under the drying conditions of the resin described above here.

[0039] Finally, the cleaning glove may be released from the mold. At the time of this release, it is reversed and then reversed again, so that the glove substrate is made of vinyl chloride, and at least the outer surface from the wrist to the hem of the glove substrate is one kind of resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin, internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin and urethane resin, and short fibers are implanted on at least a part of the outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist, resulting in a cleaning glove.

[0040] The cleaning glove of the present invention described above has the following steps (a) to (b) (a) Using a glove mold, a step of making the glove substrate of vinyl chloride and at least the outer surface from the wrist to the hem of the glove substrate one kind of resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin, internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin and urethane resin (b) A step of implanting short fibers on at least a part of the outer surface of the glove substrate beyond the wrist can be manufactured by performing.

[0041] Also, in the above (b), it is preferable that the short fibers are adhered to the outer surface of the glove substrate with an adhesive containing acrylic resin and / or urethane resin for implanting the short fibers.

Example

[0042] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples at all.

[0043] Example 1 Manufacture of cleaning glove: A glove form for unglazed gloves (covering up to the elbows) was immersed up to the elbows (or up to the hem) in a vinyl chloride sol solution (100 parts of paste resin PSM-30 (manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), 100 parts of non-phthalate plasticizer, 3 parts of stabilizer, 1 part of thickener, 3 parts of colorant), pulled out, and heated in a heating furnace at 200 °C for 6 minutes to gel, obtaining a vinyl chloride glove substrate. Next, this was immersed in a solution capable of forming an acrylic resin film (S-182 manufactured by Aika Industries Co., Ltd.) up to the same position as the vinyl chloride glove substrate, pulled out, and air-dried. After immersing this up to the wrists in an adhesive containing an acrylic resin (S-1200 manufactured by Aika Industries Co., Ltd.), short fibers (1 dtex, length 0.5 mm: R1DxS manufactured by Shin Nissen Co., Ltd.) were electrostatically flocked in a closed space. Then, it was heated in a heating furnace at 200 °C for 5 minutes. Finally, by performing reverse demolding and then re-reversing, a cleaning glove was obtained in which the glove substrate was made of vinyl chloride, the outer surface was made of an acrylic resin, and short fibers were flocked on the entire surface from the wrists onward (Figure 1).

[0044] Example 2 Manufacture of cleaning gloves: A glove form for unglazed gloves (covering up to the elbows) was immersed up to the elbows (or up to the hem) in a vinyl chloride sol solution (100 parts of paste resin PSM-30 (manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), 100 parts of non-phthalate plasticizer, 3 parts of stabilizer, 1 part of thickener, 3 parts of colorant), pulled out, and heated in a heating furnace at 200 °C for 2 minutes to semi-gel. Next, this was immersed in a thin film former containing an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin (C-38 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) up to the same position as the vinyl chloride glove substrate, pulled out, and the part up to the wrists was washed in a cleaning tank. After air-drying this, it was immersed up to the wrists in an adhesive containing an acrylic resin (S-1200 manufactured by Aika Industries Co., Ltd.), and then short fibers (R1DxS manufactured by Shin Nissen Co., Ltd.) were electrostatically flocked in a closed space. Then, it was heated in a heating furnace at 200 °C for 5 minutes. Finally, by demolding, a cleaning glove was obtained in which the glove substrate was made of vinyl chloride, the outer surface was made of an internally crosslinked vinyl chloride resin, and short fibers were flocked on the entire surface from the wrists onward.

[0045] Comparative Example 1 Manufacture of cleaning gloves: A hand mold for unglazed gloves (extending to the elbow) was immersed up to the elbow (or up to the hem) in a vinyl chloride sol solution (100 parts of paste resin PSM-30 (manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), 100 parts of non-phthalate plasticizer, 3 parts of stabilizer, 1 part of thickener, 3 parts of colorant), pulled out, and heated in a heating furnace at 200°C for 6 minutes to gel and obtain a vinyl chloride glove substrate. This was immersed up to the elbow (or up to the hem) in an adhesive containing an acrylic resin (S-1200 manufactured by Aika Kogyo Co., Ltd.), and then short fibers (R1DxS manufactured by Shin Nissen Co., Ltd.) were electrostatically flocked in a closed space. Thereafter, it was heated in a heating furnace at 200°C for 5 minutes. Finally, demolding was performed to obtain a cleaning glove with a glove substrate made of vinyl chloride and short fibers flocked on the entire outer surface.

[0046] Comparative Example 2 Manufacture of cleaning gloves: A hand mold for unglazed gloves (extending to the elbow) was immersed up to the elbow (or up to the hem) in a vinyl chloride sol solution (100 parts of paste resin PSM-30 (manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), 100 parts of non-phthalate plasticizer, 3 parts of stabilizer, 1 part of thickener, 3 parts of colorant), pulled out, and heated in a heating furnace at 200°C for 6 minutes to gel and obtain a vinyl chloride glove substrate. This was immersed up to the wrist in an adhesive containing an acrylic resin (S-1200 manufactured by Aika Kogyo Co., Ltd.), and then short fibers (R1DxS manufactured by Shin Nissen Co., Ltd.) were electrostatically flocked in a closed space. Thereafter, it was heated in a heating furnace at 200°C for 5 minutes. Finally, demolding was performed to obtain a cleaning glove with a glove substrate made of vinyl chloride, the part up to the wrist made of acrylic resin, and short fibers flocked on the entire surface from the wrist to the tip.

[0047] Comparative Example 3 Manufacture of cleaning gloves: A glove obtained by inverting the glove of Comparative Example 1 with the flocked part on the inside (ordinary vinyl medium-thick glove) was obtained.

[0048] Test Example 1 Cleaning test: A dishwashing test was conducted on 5 people using the dishwashing gloves of Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 with a detergent. During the washing, actions such as raising and lowering the elbows were also included. The dishwashing gloves of Examples 1 and 2 had good detergency, the dishes were not slippery, did not stick at the wrists, etc., and there was no wetting of the clothes, and they were excellent in workability and detachability. On the other hand, for the dishwashing glove of Comparative Example 1, since it was flocked up to the hem, it sucked up water and the clothes got wet. The dishwashing glove of Comparative Example 2 stuck at the wrists, etc. during washing, and had poor workability and detachability.

[0049] Test Example 2 Slip resistance test Using the dishwashing gloves of Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Example 3, the slipperiness of the dishes during dishwashing was measured in the following slip resistance test.

[0050] <Slip resistance test> A 1L beaker was washed using a commercially available kitchen detergent so that the detergent adhered to the surface. The same detergent was also applied to the surface of each glove, and in that state, 100 g of water was added to the 1L beaker each time, and the mass that could be lifted by pinching the edge was measured. The measurement was carried out by 5 people.

[0051] For the dishwashing gloves of Examples 1 to 2, all 5 people could easily lift up to a mass of 800 g. On the other hand, for the dishwashing glove of Comparative Example 3, 2 people could lift it up to 400 g, 2 people could lift it up to 500 g, and 1 person could lift it up to 600 g.

[0052] From the above results, it was shown that the dishwashing glove of the present invention has the functions of detergency and making the dishes less slippery, suppresses the sticking of vinyl chloride to each other at the wrists, etc. and the wetting of the clothes, and has good workability and detachability.

Industrial applicability

[0053] The dishwashing glove of the present invention can be used for washing dishes, the plumbing, the outer wall of the house, the car, etc.
