A method for producing a supporting glove includes the steps of applying a specific amount of a first polymer mixed liquid to a knitted glove; drying the first polymer mixed liquid applied to the knitted glove; applying a coagulant solution to the knitted glove after drying; applying a specific amount of a second polymer mixed liquid to the knitted glove after applying the coagulant solution; and drying the second polymer mixed liquid applied to the knitted glove. A first polymer film is formed to cover a yarn knitted into the knitted glove over the entire thickness direction of at least the part of the knitted glove. A second polymer film is formed to continuously cover the first polymer film to form at least a part of an outer surface and not reaching an inner surface of the knitted glove.

A thin coated supported glove and method of making the glove includes a thin knitted liner, including a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, a backhand component, and a palm component, wherein the thin knitted liner comprises a covered yarn including a tungsten core having a diameter of about 25-35 micrometers, a polyamide wrapping yarn disposed upon the tungsten core, and a high performance polyethylene wrapping yarn disposed upon the polyamide wrapping yarn, wherein the covered yarn is (350) denier or less; a second yarn, wherein the second yarn is an intermingled yarn of (115) denier or less; and a thin polymeric coating adhered to the thin knitted liner.

A fully coated glove having a moisture wicking property is provided, which includes a palm body, a moisture wicking layer, and a shielding layer. Each of the moisture wicking layer and the shielding layer is prepared by using a raw material including waterborne polyurethane or solvent-based polyurethane. The moisture wicking layer is a foam layer with a thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm; the shielding layer is a non-foam layer with a thickness of 0.03 mm to 0.2 mm. The preparation process includes following steps: molding of the palm body; preparing the moisture wicking layer that is foamed by coating; water washing; drying; preparing the shielding layer that is not foamed by coating; drying; demolding of the finished product; and packaging. Polyurethane is used as the raw material of the coating in the glove provided by the present disclosure, so as to associatedly combine the foam layer and non-foam layer.

Provided among other things is method of forming texture on an outer surface of an polymer layer of an article, comprising: applying a latex of polymer particles to (a) a support element of the article or (b) a former, to form an polymer layer; applying to the polymer layer discrete particles of carbonic salt so that they embed into the outer surface and gel elastomer adjacent to the carbonic salt; removing the carbonic salt with an aqueous wash; and curing the polymer layer.

The invention provides a flame retardant material comprising a substrate, an optionally corona-treated coating on the substrate, the coating comprising a polyolefin composition comprising a) an ethylene based plastomer with a density in the range of 0.857 to 0.915 g/cm.sup.3 and an MFR.sub.2 in the range 0.5-30 g/10 min; b) a propylene based plastomer with a density in the range of 0.860 to 0.910 g/cm.sup.3 and an MFR.sub.2 in the range 0.01-30 g/10 min; and c) a flame retardant, a primer layer on top of the coating and a lacquer topcoat.

An elastomeric abrasion and cut resistant coating or coated glove, including a polymeric, elastomeric, or latex layer and, optionally, a fabric liner, is disclosed. Methods for manufacturing an elastomeric abrasion and cut resistant coating or coated glove substantially are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to textile articles and clothing such as outdoor garments, indoor garments, and commercial protective wear exposed to contact mixtures of water and oil, swimwear and winter wear exposed to mixtures of water and air. At least part of these textile articles possess a surface provided with at least one of 1) a high surface area, 2) hierarchical pattern, 3) contact angles such that hydrophilic portion of a contact mixture possesses a high contact angle and the hydrophobic portion of a contact mixture possesses a low contact angle, and 4) hysteresis angle greater than 5 degrees. Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic contact mixtures of the present invention can be surfaces where water and or ice are present in combination with oil and or air. The textile articles of the present invention resist slippage on surfaces possessing hydrophobic/hydrophilic contact mixtures.

An insulative moisture vapor transmission membrane with reflective barrier is provided. A method of manufacturing the membrane includes providing metallic powder and incorporating it into a liquefied polyurethane. The membrane may be incorporated into wearable garments either directly, or in a laminate form.

A latex dipped article, particularly a fabric supported glove which is flexible and fatigue resistant, comprising a fabric liner, with a shape of a hand. The fabric liner is coated with a foam polymeric latex material which is then treated with an aqueous silicone or non-silicon based surface active agent to facilitate the formation of percolative surface structure through bursting of bubbles in the foam layer and stripped off the excess polymeric material. Then the stripped material is removed gently by exposing to a flowing fluid which further enhances the texture of the percolative coating that results an excellent grip in dry, wet and oil environments.

A coating fabric and method of manufacturing the same are provided. A coated fabric includes a base coating layer. The base coating layer defines a smooth coating to resist liquid penetration to the fabric. The coated fabric also includes a middle foam coating layer that is deposited on at least a portion of the base coating layer. The middle foam layer defines a middle layer foam density and is configured to absorb at least a portion of liquid. The coated fabric further includes an outer foam coating layer that is deposited on at least a portion of the middle foam coating later. The outer foam layer defines an outer layer foam density and is configured with holes to allow liquid to penetrate to the middle foam layer. The middle layer foam density is less than the outer layer foam density. A corresponding method of manufacturing is also provided.
