Glide-on coating for polymeric gloves

Abstract

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, the polyurethane resin-containing solution comprising a polyurethane resin, silicon dioxide, a surfactant, and 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 , comprising 0.1-10 parts of the colorant. 
     
     
         6 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the surfactant comprises a nonionic surfactant. 
     
     
         7 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the silicon dioxide comprises particles sized from about 0.01 micron to about 0.2 micron. 
     
     
         8 . 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 such that substantially no visible residue is left 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. 
     
     
         9 . The glove of  claim 8 , wherein the polymeric glove is a polyvinyl chloride glove. 
     
     
         10 . The glove of  claim 8 , 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. 
     
     
         11 . The glove of  claim 8 , further comprising: 76-82 parts of a plasticizer, 10-15 parts of a viscosity reducer, and 0.5-0.8 parts of a stabilizer. 
     
     
         12 . The glove of  claim 8 , comprising 0.001 to 0.01 parts of the modifier. 
     
     
         13 . The glove of  claim 8 , wherein the polyurethane resin-containing solution further comprises silicon dioxide. 
     
     
         14 . The glove of  claim 13 , wherein the silicon dioxide comprises particles sized from 0.01 micron to 0.2 micron. 
     
     
         15 . The glove of  claim 8 , wherein the modifier is an anionic polyacrylamide. 
     
     
         16 . The glove of  claim 15 , wherein the anionic polyacrylamide has a molecular weight of at least 10,000,000. 
     
     
         17 . The glove of  claim 8 , wherein the modifier comprises one or more of a polyacrylamide, a wax, shellac, polyethylene glycol, a polyethylene emulsion, polyvinyl acetate, hyaluronic acid, a polyacrylate, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. 
     
     
         18 . The glove of  claim 8 , wherein the modifier comprises one or more of a wax, polyethylene glycol, a polyethylene emulsion, a polyacrylate, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate.
