A method for manufacturing gloves includes adding a thickening agent (B) having an oxyethylene group content of 210.sup.2 mol/g or less to an aqueous urethane resin composition containing an aqueous urethane resin (A) having an acid value of 0.01 mgKOH/g or higher in a range of 0.01 to 30 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the aqueous urethane resin (A) to obtain a thickened liquid; and (i) immersing fiber-knitted gloves in the thickened liquid and subsequently performing coagulation in a coagulation bath (C) containing a metal salt (c-1) or (ii) immersing fiber-knitted gloves previously immersed in a coagulation bath (C) containing a metal salt (c-1) in the thickened liquid to perform coagulation. As the thickening agent (B), a cellulose thickening agent, an acryl thickening agent, or a urethane thickening agent can be used. Furthermore, as the metal salt (c-1), calcium nitrate can used.

The present invention provides a fiber modifier composed of an internal olefin sulfonate having 17 or more and 24 or less carbons.

A method of producing a laminated body, the method including a coagulant solution deposition step of depositing a coagulant solution on a fiber substrate, and a coagulation step of forming a polymer layer on the fiber substrate by bringing a polymer latex into contact with the fiber substrate having the coagulant solution deposited thereon to cause a polymer to coagulate. As the coagulant solution, a solution obtained by dissolving or dispersing 0.2 to 7.0% by weight of a metal salt as a coagulant and 0.1 to 7.0% by weight of an organic acid in a solvent is used. In the method of producing a laminated body, the metal salt is a polyvalent metal salt. In the method of producing a laminated body, the organic acid is an organic acid having at least one group selected from a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a hydroxy group, and a thiol group.

A laminated body formed by laminating a fiber substrate composed of a plurality of fibers and a polymer layer formed from a polymer latex. The polymer layer covers the fiber substrate in a state in which a portion of the polymer layer has permeated among the fibers. A ratio (t.sub.1/d) of a thickness t.sub.1 of the portion of the polymer layer that has permeated among the fibers (from a top surface of the fiber substrate) to a substrate layer average thickness d is 0.1 to 0.95. A thickness t.sub.2 of the portion of the polymer layer covering the top surface of the fiber substrate (from the top surface of the fiber substrate) is 80 m or more.

A method for producing a natural fiber part may comprise applying an aqueous solution of an inorganic aluminum salt to the natural fiber part and drying the natural fiber part applied with the aqueous solution. The aqueous solution may contain the aluminum salt in a concentration of 2 to 40% by weight. The aluminum salt may include an alum compound. At least one of an inorganic thickening agent or an inorganic stabilizing agent may be added to the aqueous solution.

A method for treating a sulfur-containing fabric and sulfur-containing fabrics with excellent antimicrobial properties are disclosed. First an aluminum salt is added to a sulfur-containing fabric. That product is then rinsed. The rinsed product is combined with an antimicrobial. In one embodiment, the sulfur-containing fabric is combined with an aqueous solution of an oxidizing agent prior to the addition of the aluminum salt. Fabrics treated by the method retain excellent antimicrobial activity even after repeated washings.
