Glide-on coating for polymeric gloves
Polymeric gloves include a donning-facilitating coating. The donning-facilitating coating facilitates a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove while either leaving a visible residue on the hand of the user, or not leaving a visible residue on the hand of the user, when the donning-facilitating coating is contacted by the hand of the user.
1. A polymeric glove having an interior surface for contacting a hand of a user, the interior surface including a donning-facilitating coating configured to facilitate a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove, the donning-facilitating coating comprising a polyurethane resin-containing solution and a colorant configured to leave a visible residue on the hand of the user when the donning-facilitating coating is contacted by the hand of the user having an alcohol-based disinfectant thereon, wherein the polyurethane resin-containing solution includes 20-60 wt. % polyurethane resin, 1-10 wt. % silicon dioxide, 0.1-2 wt. % nonionic surfactant comprising a polysiloxane, and 28-79 wt. % water.
2. The glove of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric glove is a polyvinyl chloride glove.
3. The glove of claim 1 , further comprising 20-40 parts of a first polyvinyl chloride resin and 60-80 parts of a second polyvinyl chloride resin distinct from the first polyvinyl chloride resin.
4. The glove of claim 1 , further comprising: 76-82 parts of a plasticizer,
10-15 parts of a viscosity reducer,
and 0.5-0.8 parts of a stabilizer.
5. The glove of claim 1 , wherein the silicon dioxide comprises particles sized from 0.01 micron to 0.2 micron.
6. A polymeric glove having an interior surface for contacting a hand of a user, the interior surface including a donning-facilitating coating configured to facilitate a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove, the donning-facilitating coating comprising a polyurethane resin-containing solution and a modifier configured to retain the polyurethane resin-containing solution on the interior surface of the glove when the donning-facilitating coating is contacted by the hand of the user having an alcohol-based disinfectant thereon, wherein the polyurethane resin-containing solution includes 20-60 wt. % polyurethane resin, 1-10 wt. % silicon dioxide, 0.1-2 wt. % nonionic surfactant comprising a polysiloxane, and 28-79 wt. % water.
7. The glove of claim 6 , wherein the polymeric glove is a polyvinyl chloride glove.
8. The glove of claim 6 , further comprising 20-40 parts of a first polyvinyl chloride resin and 60-80 parts of a second polyvinyl chloride resin distinct from the first polyvinyl chloride resin.
9. The glove of claim 6 , further comprising: 76-82 parts of a plasticizer, 10-15 parts of a viscosity reducer, and 0.5-0.8 parts of a stabilizer.
10. The glove of claim 6 , wherein the silicon dioxide comprises particles sized from 0.01 micron to 0.2 micron.
11. The glove of claim 6 , wherein the modifier is an anionic polyacrylamide with a molecular weight of at least 14,000,000.
12. The glove of claim 6 , wherein the donning-facilitating coating is applied by dipping the interior surface of the glove.
13. A polymeric glove having an interior surface for contacting a hand of a user, the interior surface including a donning-facilitating coating configured to facilitate a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove, the donning-facilitating coating comprising a polyurethane resin and silicon dioxide configured to agglomerate and form a visible residue on the hand of the user having an alcohol-based disinfectant thereon, wherein the donning-facilitating coating comprises 20-60 wt. % of the polyurethane resin, 1-10 wt. % of the silicon dioxide, 0.1-2 wt. % of a surfactant, and 28-79 wt. % water.
14. The glove of claim 13 , wherein the polymeric glove is a polyvinyl chloride glove.
15. The glove of claim 13 , wherein the silicon dioxide comprises particles sized from 0.01 micron to 0.2 micron.
