Definitions
- the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove coated with a rubber, and particularly to a chemical resistant glove that is obtained by coating a fabric glove with a chloroprene-based rubber, which has not only greatly improved chemical resistance, safety and reliability, but also tactile feeling and abrasion resistance.
- Liquid proof gloves in which the surface of a fabric glove has been coated with a rubber or a resin are widely used as working gloves.
- the rubber or the resin to be applied include a natural rubber (NR), a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), a nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), a chloroprene rubber (CR), a polyurethane (PU), and a vinyl chloride resin (PVC).
- NR natural rubber

- NBR nitrile-butadiene rubber
- CR chloroprene rubber
- PU polyurethane
- PVC vinyl chloride resin
- a chloroprene rubber is known to be excellent in weather resistance, thermal resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance, especially in acid resistance and alkali resistance. Therefore, gloves in which the surface of gloves made of a fiber is covered with a chloroprene rubber have been widely used as chemical resistant gloves.
- chloroprene rubber for gloves for example, in Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication 2007-106994, a chloroprene-based polymer latex for gloves that is well balanced with regard to flexibility lasting, tensile strength and tensile elongation has been proposed.
- rubber-coated gloves are problematic in that when a person grips an object with a gloved hand, the object is prone to slip. This problem is more serious particularly when the surface of the glove is wet with a chemical liquid.
- a first aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove which comprises a chloroprene-based rubber layer as a first layer and a mixed rubber layer containing a nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as a second layer sequentially formed on a fabric glove, wherein a mixing ratio of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer is 60:40 to 10:90 in a solid weight ratio.
- a second aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein the mixing ratio of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer is 40:60 to 20:80 in a solid weight ratio.
- a third aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a chloroprene-based rubber layer as an intermediate layer is further formed between the chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer and the mixed rubber layer containing the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer.
- a fourth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles are contained in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer in an amount of 20 to 60 parts by weight, on a solid content basis, based on 100 parts by weight of a latex of the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- a fifth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a content of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles is 30 to 50 parts by weight, on a solid basis, based on 100 parts by weight of the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- a sixth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a thickness of the first layer is in a range of from 0.18 to 0.23 mm.
- a seventh aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a thickness of the second layer is in a range of from 0.14 to 0.18 mm.
- a eighth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a thickness of the intermediate layer is in a range of from 0.18 to 0.23 mm.
- a glove that is excellent in chemical resistance, good in protection and reliability, and good in tactile feeling and abrasion resistance is provided by forming a chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer and a mixed rubber layer containing a nitril butadiene-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer sequentially on a fabric glove.
- a glove that has more improved chemical resistance is provided by further forming a chloroprene-based rubber layer as an intermediate layer between the first layer and the second layer.
- a glove that is excellent in slip resistance addition to the above mentioned effects is provided by causing the mixed rubber layer to contain nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles.
- the chemical resistant glove of the present invention is characterized in that a chloroprene-based rubber layer as a first layer and a mixed rubber layer containing a nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as a second layer sequentially formed on a fabric glove, wherein a mixing ratio of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer is 60:40 to 10:90 in a solid weight ratio.
- the chemical resistant glove of the present invention is characterized in that a chloroprene-based rubber layer is further formed between the chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer and the mixed rubber layer of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer in the foregoing chemical resistant glove.
- the chemical resistant glove of the present invention is characterized in that nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles are contained in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- Various types of fibers can be used as the fabric glove for use in the present invention.
- gloves produced by knitting cotton, polyester, polyurethane, high-strength drawn polyethylene, e.g., DYNEEMA (registered trademark), aramide, e.g., KEVLAR (registered trademark) or their mixed spun yarns, or by sewing woven fabrics or nonwoven fabrics can be used.
- aqueous dispersion latex of chloroprene polymers and chloroprene-based copolymers of chloroprene and other copolymerizable components are common as the chloroprene-based rubber layer, which is the first layer.
- solvent-based solutions and solvent-based dispersion liquids can also be used.
- Exemplary commercially-available products include SHOPRENE (registered trademark) 671A (produced by Showa Denko K.K.), SHOPRENE (registered trademark) 571 (produced by Showa Denko K.K.), SHOPRENE (registered trademark) 750 (produced by Showa Denko K.K.), SKYPRENE (registered trademark) latex LA-502 (produced by TOSOH CORPORATION), DENKA CHLOROPRENE (registered trademark) LM-61 (produced by DENKI KAGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA), DENKA CHLOROPRENE (registered trademark) LM-50 (produced by DENKI KAGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA), DENKA CHLOROPRENE (registered trademark) LV-60N (produced by DENKI KAGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA), and Lipren-T (produced by PolymerLatex). These are used singly or in combination of two or
- the thickness of the first layer after curing is preferably in a range of from about 0.18 mm to about 0.23 mm.
- An attempt to form a chloroprene-based rubber layer having a thickness of less than 0.18 mm tends to cause penetration of a raw material to the inside of a fabric glove and, as a result, a resulting glove gives very bad tactile feeling when being worn.
- an attempt to form a chloroprene-based rubber layer having a thickness of more than 0.23 mm tends to impair uniform adhesion of a raw material to gloves made of a fiber and, as a result, uniform chemical resistance and so on cannot be obtained with a resulting glove.
- examples of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber (hereinafter, a nitrile-butadiene-based rubber is sometimes referred to as an NBR) to be used together with the chloroprene-based rubber as the mixed rubber layer, which is the second layer, include Nipol (registered trademark) Lx-550 (produced by ZEON CORPORATION), Nipol (registered trademark) Lx-551 (produced by ZEON CORPORATION), Nipol (registered trademark) Lx-556 (produced by ZEON CORPORATION), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX VT-LA (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1130 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1138 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1150 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (
- the thickness of the second layer after curing is preferably in a range of from about 0.14 mm to about 0.18 mm.
- An attempt to form a mixed rubber layer having a thickness of less than 0.14 mm tends to be difficult to form a film and thus it tends to be difficult to form the second layer.
- an attempt to form a mixed rubber layer having a thickness of more than 0.18 mm tends to cause a resulting glove to become stiffer.
- the mixing ratio of the NBR-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber, in a solid weight ratio is 60:40 to 10:90, and preferably 40:60 to 20:80. If the proportion of the NBR-based rubber is more than the foregoing ratio, a glove having a stiff tactile feeling is produced. If the proportion of the NBR-based rubber is less than the foregoing ratio, problems that a latex coagulates at the time of mixing and that the abrasion resistance decreases are caused and, as a result, it may become difficult to produce a glove.
- a latex of the NBR-based rubber As to the mixing of a latex of the NBR-based rubber and a latex of the chloroprene-based rubber, it is desirable to use an aqueous dispersion latex or solution in the same solvent system or dispersions in the same solvent system.
- the chloroprene-based rubber latex to be used for the chloroprene-based rubber layer of the first layer or the intermediate layer and the chloroprene-based rubber latex to be used by being mixed with the NBR-based latex in the mixed rubber layer of the second layer the same latex or different latices selected from the above-mentioned chloroprene-based polymer latex and latex of chloroprene-based copolymers may be used.
- the thickness of the intermediate layer after curing is preferably in a range of from about 0.18 mm to about 0.23 mm. If the thickness is less than 0.18 mm, there is a tendency that a film is difficult to be formed and thus it is difficult to form an intermediate layer. If the thickness exceeds 0.23 mm, uniform film forming tends to be impaired.
- the viscosity of the chloroprene-based rubber latex as the first and the intermediate layers or the latex of the mixed rubber composed of an NBR-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer is important for adjustment of the coating film thickness or workability of application, and it is preferably in V6 viscosity, 2800 to 3200 mPa ⁇ sec for the first layer, 1500 to 2000 mPa ⁇ sec for the second layer, and 1800 to 2200 mPa ⁇ sec for the intermediate layer.
- the slip resistance of the chemical resistant glove in the present invention can be further improved by adding NBR-based rubber particles to the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- the NBR-based rubber particles are less prone to leave from a glove after the production of the glove and thus exhibit higher slip resistance in comparison to particles of other resins or rubbers.
- the shape of the NBR-based rubber particles is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a spherical shape, a polyhedral shape, a hemispherical shape, and a bowl-like shape.
- a product prepared by pulverizing a sheet-shaped NBR-based rubber can also be used suitably.
- the sheet-shaped NBR-based rubber is produced by, for example, incorporating commonly-used rubber additives such as clay, titanium, plasticizers, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, antiaging agents, and sulfur in NBR-based rubbers.
- the pulverizing method is not particularly limited, freeze pulverization is preferred because pulverization heat is often generated, which may cause change in quality or degradation of the rubber.
- NBR-based particles examples include BAYMOD (registered trademark) N34.52 (produced by Bayer), BAYMOD (registered trademark) N34.82 (produced by Bayer), BAYMOD (registered trademark) NXL34.23VP (produced by Bayer), and BAYMOD (registered trademark) NXL34.12 (produced by Bayer). These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- the size of the NBR-based particles is preferably 1000 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 50 to 850 ⁇ m, and even more preferably 100 to 710 ⁇ l. If it is greater than 1000 ⁇ m, the uniform adhesion of the particles tends to be impaired. If it is excessively small, a sufficient slip resisting effect tends not to be obtained.
- the NBR-based rubber particles are contained in an amount of 20 to 60 parts by weight, in a solid content basis, based on 100 parts by weight of the latex of the mixed rubber layer as the second layer. If the amount of the NBR-based rubber particles is less than 20 parts by weight, a sufficient slip resisting effect can be obtained neither under dry conditions nor under wet conditions. On the other hand, if it exceeds 60 parts by weight, resulting gloves come to have harder tactile feeling or it is impossible to obtain gloves to which particles adhere uniformly.
- the method for forming the first layer, the second layer and the intermediate layer on a fabric glove dipping in a latex liquid, spray coating, coating with a brush or the like can be used. At the time of coating, it is common and convenient to set a fabric glove on a hand mold.
- a hand mold metal molds, ceramic molds, wooden molds, plastic molds, and so on can be used.
- a metal oxide In view of, for example, the easiness of processing, and the flexibility or the stability of strength of a rubber coating film after vulcanization, it is desirable to blend to the latex a metal oxide, a vulcanization accelerator, sulfur, a surfactant, an antiaging agent, a pH adjuster, a plasticizer, a filler, and so on.
- the metal oxide examples include zinc oxide, lead oxide, and trilead tetraoxide. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- the amount of the metal oxide is preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 1 part by weight, it is difficult to obtain tensile strength and basic characteristics of modulus due to insufficient crosslinking. If the amount is more than 10 parts by weight, the modulus becomes excessively high and a resulting glove becomes stiff.
- thiuram-based, dithiocarbamate-based, thiourea-based and guanidine-based vulcanization accelerators are commonly used for chloroprene-based rubber latex.
- the thiuram-based vulcanization accelerators and the dithiocarbamate-based vulcanization accelerators are particularly preferred.
- the thiuram-based valcanization accelerator include tetraethylthiuram disulfide, and tetrabutylthiuram disulfide.
- Examples of the dithiocarbamate-based vulcanization accelerator include sodium dibutylthiodicarbamate, zinc dibutylthiodicarbamate, and zinc diethylthiodicarbamate.
- Examples of the thiourea-based vulcanization accelerator include ethylenethiourea, diethylthiourea, trimethylthiourea, and N,N′-diphenylthiourea. Among these, N,N′-diphenylthiourea is particularly preferable.
- Examples of the guanidine-based vulcanization accelerator include diphenylguanidine and diorthotoluidineguanidine. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- the amount of the vulcanization accelerator is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.5 parts by weight, the vulcanization acceleration effect is insufficient. If the amount is more than 5.0 parts by weight, problems may arise. For example, even if a glove is produced, the resulting glove may feel hard or cause scorching by initial vulcanization.
- sulfur is usually used together.
- the amount of sulfur is preferably 0.1 to 3.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, it is difficult to obtain tensile strength and basic characteristics of modulus due to insufficient crosslinking. If the amount is more than 3.0 parts by weight, there is a tendency that the modulus becomes excessively high and a resulting glove tends to become stiff.
- surfactant examples include sodium alkylsulfate, sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate, sodium salt of naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensate, rosin acid soap, and fatty acid soap. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- the amount of the surfactant is preferably 0.1 to 10.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the latex tends to become unstable. If the amount exceeds 10.0 parts by weight, the latex tends to become excessively stable and it becomes difficult to form a film.
- antiaging agent examples include naphthylamine-based compounds, diphenylamine-based compounds, p-phenylenediamine-based compounds, quinoline-based compounds, hydroquinone derivative-based compounds, monophenol-based compounds, bisphenol-based compounds, polyphenol-based compounds, imidazole-based compounds, nickel dithiocarbamate-based compounds, phosphite ester-based compounds, organic thioacid-based compounds, and thiourea-based compounds.

- Examples of the polyphenol-based compounds include 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone and 2,5-di-tert-amyl hydroquinone.
- Examples of the imidazole-based compounds include 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptomethylbenzimidazole and zinc salts of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole.

- thiourea-based compounds examples include 1,3-bis(dimethylaminopropyl)-2-thiourea and tributylthiourea. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary. Among these, monophenol-based compounds or bisphenol-based compounds are preferable.
- the amount of the antiaging agent is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.5 parts by weight, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient retarding effect of degradation. If the amount is more than 5.0 parts by weight, the retarding effect of degradation is not enhanced and the strength may decrease occasionally.
- an alkali or a weak acid such as amino acid or acetic acid may be used for the purpose of stabilizing a latex or adjusting the thickness of a coating film.
- the alkali include potassium hydroxide and ammonia and examples of the weak acid include glycine. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary. It is desirable that the pH adjuster be added in the form of an aqueous solution before use so that the stability of a latex is not impaired.
- the amount of the pH adjuster in a compound using a chloroprene-based rubber latex it is desirable to add the pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 10.0 to 11.5 when all additives including the pH adjuster are incorporated. Specifically, it is more desirable to add the pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 10.0 to 10.5. If the pH is lower than 10.0, the latex becomes unstable and becomes solidified. If the pH exceeds 11.5, the latex becomes excessively stable and the latex becomes difficult to coagulate and, as a result, it tends to become difficult to form a rubber film.
- a pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 9.0 to 10.5 when all additives including the pH adjuster are compounded. Specifically, it is more desirable to add a pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 10.0 to 10.5. If the pH is lower than 9.0, the latex becomes unstable and becomes solidified. If the pH exceeds 10.5, the latex comes to contain an excess alkali, so that the latex may solidify occasionally.
- plasticizer examples include phthalate esters such as dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, butyloctyl phthalate, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, and diisodecyl phthalate; fatty acid esters such as dimethyl adipate, diisobutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, diisooctyl adipate, diisodecyl adipate, octyldecyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)azelate, diisooctyl azelate, diisobutyl azelate, dibutyl sebacate, di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate and diisooc
- the amount of the plasticizer is preferably 0.001 to 10.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.001 parts by weight, plasticization tends to be insufficiently. If the amount exceeds 10.0 parts by weight, bleeding of the plasticizer tends to occur.
- Examples of the inorganic filler include oxide fillers, carbonate fillers, silicate filler, and nitride fillers.
- Examples of the oxide fillers include silica, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, diatomaceous earth, alumina, iron oxide and tin oxide. Among those, silica, titanium oxide and iron oxide are preferable.
- Examples of the carbonate fillers include calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and zinc carbonate. Among those, calcium carbonate is preferable.
- Examples of the silicate fillers include aluminum silicates such as clay, kaolinite and pyrophyllite; magnesium silicates such as talc; calcium silicates such as wollastonite and xonotlite; bentonite, glass beads and glass fiber. Among those, aluminum silicates, magnesium silicates and bentonite are preferable. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- the amount of the filler is preferably 5 to 15 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, blisters tend to be formed during a cure step in the glove production. If the amount exceeds 15 parts by weight, the stability of a rubber latex may be impaired occasionally.
- additives other than those mentioned above for example, pigments, colorants, wetting agents, and defoaming agents, may be appropriately added, if necessary, to a chloroprene-based rubber latex or a mixture of a chloroprene-based rubber latex and an NBR-based rubber latex.
- the thickness of both a first layer and an intermediate layer was 0.2 mm and the thickness of a second layer was 0.15 mm.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove coated with a rubber, and particularly to a chemical resistant glove that is obtained by coating a fabric glove with a chloroprene-based rubber, which has not only greatly improved chemical resistance, safety and reliability, but also tactile feeling and abrasion resistance.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Liquid proof gloves in which the surface of a fabric glove has been coated with a rubber or a resin are widely used as working gloves. Examples of the rubber or the resin to be applied include a natural rubber (NR), a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), a nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), a chloroprene rubber (CR), a polyurethane (PU), and a vinyl chloride resin (PVC). Among these, a chloroprene rubber is known to be excellent in weather resistance, thermal resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance, especially in acid resistance and alkali resistance. Therefore, gloves in which the surface of gloves made of a fiber is covered with a chloroprene rubber have been widely used as chemical resistant gloves.
- As a chloroprene rubber for gloves, for example, in Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication 2007-106994, a chloroprene-based polymer latex for gloves that is well balanced with regard to flexibility lasting, tensile strength and tensile elongation has been proposed.
- However, even if a chloroprene-based polymer such as mentioned above is applied, when a coat layer is formed of only a single layer of a chloroprene rubber, overlooked defects of the coating may result in an accident caused by a hazardous liquid during use. On the other hand, if a multilayer structure is formed in order to solve these problems, a resulting glove becomes hard and stiff in tactile feeling, resulting in a problem that the glove is difficult to use.
- In addition, rubber-coated gloves are problematic in that when a person grips an object with a gloved hand, the object is prone to slip. This problem is more serious particularly when the surface of the glove is wet with a chemical liquid.
- In the light of the aforementioned situations, it is hence an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to provide gloves for works handling chemicals such as acidic chemicals and alkaline chemicals which are not only improved in safety and reliability against chemicals, without impairing tactile feeling and workability, but also are excellent in abrasion resistance.
- A first aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove which comprises a chloroprene-based rubber layer as a first layer and a mixed rubber layer containing a nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as a second layer sequentially formed on a fabric glove, wherein a mixing ratio of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer is 60:40 to 10:90 in a solid weight ratio.
- A second aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein the mixing ratio of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer is 40:60 to 20:80 in a solid weight ratio.
- A third aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a chloroprene-based rubber layer as an intermediate layer is further formed between the chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer and the mixed rubber layer containing the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer.
- A fourth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles are contained in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer in an amount of 20 to 60 parts by weight, on a solid content basis, based on 100 parts by weight of a latex of the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- A fifth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a content of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles is 30 to 50 parts by weight, on a solid basis, based on 100 parts by weight of the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- A sixth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a thickness of the first layer is in a range of from 0.18 to 0.23 mm.
- A seventh aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a thickness of the second layer is in a range of from 0.14 to 0.18 mm.
- A eighth aspect of the present invention relates to a chemical resistant glove, wherein a thickness of the intermediate layer is in a range of from 0.18 to 0.23 mm.
- According to the present invention, a glove that is excellent in chemical resistance, good in protection and reliability, and good in tactile feeling and abrasion resistance is provided by forming a chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer and a mixed rubber layer containing a nitril butadiene-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer sequentially on a fabric glove.
- Moreover, a glove that has more improved chemical resistance is provided by further forming a chloroprene-based rubber layer as an intermediate layer between the first layer and the second layer.
- Furthermore, a glove that is excellent in slip resistance addition to the above mentioned effects is provided by causing the mixed rubber layer to contain nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles.
- In a first embodiment, the chemical resistant glove of the present invention is characterized in that a chloroprene-based rubber layer as a first layer and a mixed rubber layer containing a nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as a second layer sequentially formed on a fabric glove, wherein a mixing ratio of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer is 60:40 to 10:90 in a solid weight ratio.
- In a second embodiment, the chemical resistant glove of the present invention is characterized in that a chloroprene-based rubber layer is further formed between the chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer and the mixed rubber layer of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer in the foregoing chemical resistant glove.
- In a third embodiment, the chemical resistant glove of the present invention is characterized in that nitrile-butadiene-based rubber particles are contained in the mixed rubber layer as the second layer.
- Various types of fibers can be used as the fabric glove for use in the present invention. For example, gloves produced by knitting cotton, polyester, polyurethane, high-strength drawn polyethylene, e.g., DYNEEMA (registered trademark), aramide, e.g., KEVLAR (registered trademark) or their mixed spun yarns, or by sewing woven fabrics or nonwoven fabrics can be used.
- In the present invention, aqueous dispersion latex of chloroprene polymers and chloroprene-based copolymers of chloroprene and other copolymerizable components are common as the chloroprene-based rubber layer, which is the first layer. But, solvent-based solutions and solvent-based dispersion liquids can also be used. Exemplary commercially-available products include SHOPRENE (registered trademark) 671A (produced by Showa Denko K.K.), SHOPRENE (registered trademark) 571 (produced by Showa Denko K.K.), SHOPRENE (registered trademark) 750 (produced by Showa Denko K.K.), SKYPRENE (registered trademark) latex LA-502 (produced by TOSOH CORPORATION), DENKA CHLOROPRENE (registered trademark) LM-61 (produced by DENKI KAGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA), DENKA CHLOROPRENE (registered trademark) LM-50 (produced by DENKI KAGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA), DENKA CHLOROPRENE (registered trademark) LV-60N (produced by DENKI KAGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA), and Lipren-T (produced by PolymerLatex). These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The thickness of the first layer after curing is preferably in a range of from about 0.18 mm to about 0.23 mm. An attempt to form a chloroprene-based rubber layer having a thickness of less than 0.18 mm tends to cause penetration of a raw material to the inside of a fabric glove and, as a result, a resulting glove gives very bad tactile feeling when being worn. On the other hand, an attempt to form a chloroprene-based rubber layer having a thickness of more than 0.23 mm tends to impair uniform adhesion of a raw material to gloves made of a fiber and, as a result, uniform chemical resistance and so on cannot be obtained with a resulting glove.
- In the present invention, examples of the nitrile-butadiene-based rubber (hereinafter, a nitrile-butadiene-based rubber is sometimes referred to as an NBR) to be used together with the chloroprene-based rubber as the mixed rubber layer, which is the second layer, include Nipol (registered trademark) Lx-550 (produced by ZEON CORPORATION), Nipol (registered trademark) Lx-551 (produced by ZEON CORPORATION), Nipol (registered trademark) Lx-556 (produced by ZEON CORPORATION), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX VT-LA (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1130 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1138 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1150 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1172 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX 2890 (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX 3415 M (produced by PolymerLatex), PERBUNAN (registered trademark) N LATEX X 1200 (produced by PolymerLatex), Synthomer (registered trademark) EL2675 (produced by Synthomer), Synthomer (registered trademark) 6311 (produced by Synthomer), Synthomer (registered trademark) 6501 (produced by Synthomer), Synthomer (registered trademark) 6617 (produced by Synthomer), and Synthomer (registered trademark) 6710 (produced by Synthomer). These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The thickness of the second layer after curing is preferably in a range of from about 0.14 mm to about 0.18 mm. An attempt to form a mixed rubber layer having a thickness of less than 0.14 mm tends to be difficult to form a film and thus it tends to be difficult to form the second layer. On the other hand, an attempt to form a mixed rubber layer having a thickness of more than 0.18 mm tends to cause a resulting glove to become stiffer.
- In the mixed rubber layer as the second layer, the mixing ratio of the NBR-based rubber and the chloroprene-based rubber, in a solid weight ratio, is 60:40 to 10:90, and preferably 40:60 to 20:80. If the proportion of the NBR-based rubber is more than the foregoing ratio, a glove having a stiff tactile feeling is produced. If the proportion of the NBR-based rubber is less than the foregoing ratio, problems that a latex coagulates at the time of mixing and that the abrasion resistance decreases are caused and, as a result, it may become difficult to produce a glove.
- As to the mixing of a latex of the NBR-based rubber and a latex of the chloroprene-based rubber, it is desirable to use an aqueous dispersion latex or solution in the same solvent system or dispersions in the same solvent system.
- In the present invention, as to the chloroprene-based rubber latex to be used for the chloroprene-based rubber layer of the first layer or the intermediate layer and the chloroprene-based rubber latex to be used by being mixed with the NBR-based latex in the mixed rubber layer of the second layer, the same latex or different latices selected from the above-mentioned chloroprene-based polymer latex and latex of chloroprene-based copolymers may be used.
- The thickness of the intermediate layer after curing is preferably in a range of from about 0.18 mm to about 0.23 mm. If the thickness is less than 0.18 mm, there is a tendency that a film is difficult to be formed and thus it is difficult to form an intermediate layer. If the thickness exceeds 0.23 mm, uniform film forming tends to be impaired.
- The viscosity of the chloroprene-based rubber latex as the first and the intermediate layers or the latex of the mixed rubber composed of an NBR-based rubber and a chloroprene-based rubber as the second layer is important for adjustment of the coating film thickness or workability of application, and it is preferably in V6 viscosity, 2800 to 3200 mPa·sec for the first layer, 1500 to 2000 mPa·sec for the second layer, and 1800 to 2200 mPa·sec for the intermediate layer.
- The slip resistance of the chemical resistant glove in the present invention can be further improved by adding NBR-based rubber particles to the mixed rubber layer as the second layer. The NBR-based rubber particles are less prone to leave from a glove after the production of the glove and thus exhibit higher slip resistance in comparison to particles of other resins or rubbers.
- The shape of the NBR-based rubber particles is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a spherical shape, a polyhedral shape, a hemispherical shape, and a bowl-like shape. Moreover, a product prepared by pulverizing a sheet-shaped NBR-based rubber can also be used suitably. The sheet-shaped NBR-based rubber is produced by, for example, incorporating commonly-used rubber additives such as clay, titanium, plasticizers, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, antiaging agents, and sulfur in NBR-based rubbers. Although the pulverizing method is not particularly limited, freeze pulverization is preferred because pulverization heat is often generated, which may cause change in quality or degradation of the rubber. Examples of commercial names of NBR-based particles include BAYMOD (registered trademark) N34.52 (produced by Bayer), BAYMOD (registered trademark) N34.82 (produced by Bayer), BAYMOD (registered trademark) NXL34.23VP (produced by Bayer), and BAYMOD (registered trademark) NXL34.12 (produced by Bayer). These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The size of the NBR-based particles is preferably 1000 μm or less, more preferably 50 to 850 μm, and even more preferably 100 to 710 μl. If it is greater than 1000 μm, the uniform adhesion of the particles tends to be impaired. If it is excessively small, a sufficient slip resisting effect tends not to be obtained.
- The NBR-based rubber particles are contained in an amount of 20 to 60 parts by weight, in a solid content basis, based on 100 parts by weight of the latex of the mixed rubber layer as the second layer. If the amount of the NBR-based rubber particles is less than 20 parts by weight, a sufficient slip resisting effect can be obtained neither under dry conditions nor under wet conditions. On the other hand, if it exceeds 60 parts by weight, resulting gloves come to have harder tactile feeling or it is impossible to obtain gloves to which particles adhere uniformly.
- As the method for forming the first layer, the second layer and the intermediate layer on a fabric glove, dipping in a latex liquid, spray coating, coating with a brush or the like can be used. At the time of coating, it is common and convenient to set a fabric glove on a hand mold. As the hand mold, metal molds, ceramic molds, wooden molds, plastic molds, and so on can be used.
- In view of, for example, the easiness of processing, and the flexibility or the stability of strength of a rubber coating film after vulcanization, it is desirable to blend to the latex a metal oxide, a vulcanization accelerator, sulfur, a surfactant, an antiaging agent, a pH adjuster, a plasticizer, a filler, and so on.
- Examples of the metal oxide include zinc oxide, lead oxide, and trilead tetraoxide. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary. The amount of the metal oxide is preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 1 part by weight, it is difficult to obtain tensile strength and basic characteristics of modulus due to insufficient crosslinking. If the amount is more than 10 parts by weight, the modulus becomes excessively high and a resulting glove becomes stiff.
- As the vulcanization accelerator, thiuram-based, dithiocarbamate-based, thiourea-based and guanidine-based vulcanization accelerators are commonly used for chloroprene-based rubber latex. Among those, the thiuram-based vulcanization accelerators and the dithiocarbamate-based vulcanization accelerators are particularly preferred. Examples of the thiuram-based valcanization accelerator include tetraethylthiuram disulfide, and tetrabutylthiuram disulfide. Examples of the dithiocarbamate-based vulcanization accelerator include sodium dibutylthiodicarbamate, zinc dibutylthiodicarbamate, and zinc diethylthiodicarbamate. Examples of the thiourea-based vulcanization accelerator include ethylenethiourea, diethylthiourea, trimethylthiourea, and N,N′-diphenylthiourea. Among these, N,N′-diphenylthiourea is particularly preferable. Examples of the guanidine-based vulcanization accelerator include diphenylguanidine and diorthotoluidineguanidine. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The amount of the vulcanization accelerator is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.5 parts by weight, the vulcanization acceleration effect is insufficient. If the amount is more than 5.0 parts by weight, problems may arise. For example, even if a glove is produced, the resulting glove may feel hard or cause scorching by initial vulcanization.
- When vulcanization proceeds poorly with only a vulcanization accelerator, sulfur is usually used together. The amount of sulfur is preferably 0.1 to 3.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, it is difficult to obtain tensile strength and basic characteristics of modulus due to insufficient crosslinking. If the amount is more than 3.0 parts by weight, there is a tendency that the modulus becomes excessively high and a resulting glove tends to become stiff.
- Examples of the surfactant include sodium alkylsulfate, sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate, sodium salt of naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensate, rosin acid soap, and fatty acid soap. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The amount of the surfactant is preferably 0.1 to 10.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the latex tends to become unstable. If the amount exceeds 10.0 parts by weight, the latex tends to become excessively stable and it becomes difficult to form a film.
- Examples of the antiaging agent include naphthylamine-based compounds, diphenylamine-based compounds, p-phenylenediamine-based compounds, quinoline-based compounds, hydroquinone derivative-based compounds, monophenol-based compounds, bisphenol-based compounds, polyphenol-based compounds, imidazole-based compounds, nickel dithiocarbamate-based compounds, phosphite ester-based compounds, organic thioacid-based compounds, and thiourea-based compounds.
- Examples of the naphthylamine-based compounds include phenyl-1-naphthylamine and phenyl-β-naphthylamine. Examples of the diphenylamine-based compounds include 4,4-bis(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)diphenylamine, p-(p-toluenesulfonylamide)diphenylamine, alkylated diphenylamine and octylated diphenylamine. Examples of the p-phenylenediamine-based compounds include N,N′-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine, N-phenyl-N′-isopropyl-p-phenylenediamine, N,N′-di-2-naphthyl-p-phenylenediamine, N-phenyl-M-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine and N-phenyl-M-(3-methacryloyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl)-p-phenylenediamine. Examples of the quinoline-based compounds include a 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline polymer and 6-ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline. Examples of the hydroquinone derivative-based compounds include hydroquinone, methoquinone and 2,5-diphenyl-p-benzoquinone. Examples of the monophenol-based compounds include 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol, mono(α-methylbenzylphenol, di(α-methylbenzyl)phenol and tri(α-methylbenzyl)phenol. Examples of the bisphenol-based compounds include 2,2′-methylenebis(4-methyl-6-tert-butyl phenol), 4,4′-butylidenebis(3-methyl-6-tert-butyl phenol) and 4,4′-thiobis(3-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol). Examples of the polyphenol-based compounds include 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone and 2,5-di-tert-amyl hydroquinone. Examples of the imidazole-based compounds include 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptomethylbenzimidazole and zinc salts of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. Examples of the nickel dithiocarbamate-based compounds include nickel diethyldithiocarbamate and nickel dibutyldithiocarbamate. Examples of the phosphite-based compounds include tris(nonylphenyl)phosphite. Examples of the organic thioacid-based compounds include dilauryl thiodipropionate. Examples of the thiourea-based compounds include 1,3-bis(dimethylaminopropyl)-2-thiourea and tributylthiourea. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary. Among these, monophenol-based compounds or bisphenol-based compounds are preferable.
- The amount of the antiaging agent is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.5 parts by weight, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient retarding effect of degradation. If the amount is more than 5.0 parts by weight, the retarding effect of degradation is not enhanced and the strength may decrease occasionally.
- As a pH adjuster, an alkali or a weak acid such as amino acid or acetic acid may be used for the purpose of stabilizing a latex or adjusting the thickness of a coating film. Examples of the alkali include potassium hydroxide and ammonia and examples of the weak acid include glycine. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary. It is desirable that the pH adjuster be added in the form of an aqueous solution before use so that the stability of a latex is not impaired.
- As to the amount of the pH adjuster in a compound using a chloroprene-based rubber latex, it is desirable to add the pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 10.0 to 11.5 when all additives including the pH adjuster are incorporated. Specifically, it is more desirable to add the pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 10.0 to 10.5. If the pH is lower than 10.0, the latex becomes unstable and becomes solidified. If the pH exceeds 11.5, the latex becomes excessively stable and the latex becomes difficult to coagulate and, as a result, it tends to become difficult to form a rubber film.
- In a compound in which a chloroprene-based rubber latex and an NBR-based rubber latex are mixed, it is desirable to add a pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 9.0 to 10.5 when all additives including the pH adjuster are compounded. Specifically, it is more desirable to add a pH adjuster so that the pH becomes 10.0 to 10.5. If the pH is lower than 9.0, the latex becomes unstable and becomes solidified. If the pH exceeds 10.5, the latex comes to contain an excess alkali, so that the latex may solidify occasionally.
- Examples of the plasticizer include phthalate esters such as dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, butyloctyl phthalate, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, and diisodecyl phthalate; fatty acid esters such as dimethyl adipate, diisobutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, diisooctyl adipate, diisodecyl adipate, octyldecyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)azelate, diisooctyl azelate, diisobutyl azelate, dibutyl sebacate, di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate and diisooctyl sebacate; trimellitate esters such as isodecyl trimellitate, octyl trimellitate, n-octyl trimellitate, and isononyl trimellitate; di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate, diethylene glycol monooleate, glyceryl monoricinolate, trilauryl phosphate, tristearyl phosphate, tri-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, tricresyl phosphate, epoxidized soybean oil, and polyether ester. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The amount of the plasticizer is preferably 0.001 to 10.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 0.001 parts by weight, plasticization tends to be insufficiently. If the amount exceeds 10.0 parts by weight, bleeding of the plasticizer tends to occur.
- Examples of the inorganic filler include oxide fillers, carbonate fillers, silicate filler, and nitride fillers. Examples of the oxide fillers include silica, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, diatomaceous earth, alumina, iron oxide and tin oxide. Among those, silica, titanium oxide and iron oxide are preferable. Examples of the carbonate fillers include calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and zinc carbonate. Among those, calcium carbonate is preferable. Examples of the silicate fillers include aluminum silicates such as clay, kaolinite and pyrophyllite; magnesium silicates such as talc; calcium silicates such as wollastonite and xonotlite; bentonite, glass beads and glass fiber. Among those, aluminum silicates, magnesium silicates and bentonite are preferable. These are used singly or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
- The amount of the filler is preferably 5 to 15 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of a rubber latex. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, blisters tend to be formed during a cure step in the glove production. If the amount exceeds 15 parts by weight, the stability of a rubber latex may be impaired occasionally.
- In the present invention, additives other than those mentioned above, for example, pigments, colorants, wetting agents, and defoaming agents, may be appropriately added, if necessary, to a chloroprene-based rubber latex or a mixture of a chloroprene-based rubber latex and an NBR-based rubber latex.
- The present invention is described in more detail with reference to examples below, but the present invention is not limited to the examples.
- In the following examples and comparative examples, the thickness of both a first layer and an intermediate layer was 0.2 mm and the thickness of a second layer was 0.15 mm.

(The particle diameter was not larger than 700 μm and not smaller than 50 μm.) - A cotton-polyester (50:50) mixed-spun seamless glove knitted with a 18-gauge knitter was set on a ceramic hand mold, followed by dipping into a coagulant bath. A coagulant liquid composed of methanol and calcium nitrate (100:2.0) was used. Subsequently, the glove was dwelled for about 3 seconds in a bath containing a rubber compound liquid of the first layer given in Table 2 and then was picked up from the bath, immediately followed by dipping into a 15% aqueous calcium nitrate solution. Furthermore, the hand mold with the rubber-coated was dried for 3 minutes in a dryer of 75° C., so that a chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer was formed.

- A chloroprene-based rubber layer as the first layer was formed in the same way as in Example 1 by mounting a fabric glove on a ceramic hand mold, performing a coagulant treatment, dipping the hand mold with the glove into a bath containing a rubber compound liquid of the first layer given in Table 2, picking up the hand mold with the glove, and performing a drying treatment.
