A coating composition, an elastomeric article having the coating composition and a process for making coated elastomeric articles are disclosed in the present invention. The coating composition comprises 0.5% to 11% by weight/volume of at least one cooling agent; 0.5% to 11% by weight/volume of at least one non-ionic surfactant; and water, wherein rest of the coating composition is made of water. The coated elastomeric articles prepared according to the present invention improve user's sensory experience of wearing the elastomeric articles for long durations without varying the user's hand temperature or limiting mobility of the user's hand.

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.

A garment comprises yarns that include an elastic component and includes an uncoated region and a discrete coated region. The discrete coated region includes a coating that includes an acrylic polymer or copolymer thereof. The coated region has an air permeability substantially similar to the air permeability of the uncoated region.

The technology described herein relates to a pair of long pants garment panel comprising a pattern of a durable water-repellant (DWR) coating that is selectively applied on to the pant legs of the pair of long pants. The pattern is comprised of a plurality of discrete shapes that are isolated from one another. In other words, the textile material surrounding each discrete shape in the plurality of discrete shapes is not coated by the DWR coating. A size of the plurality of discrete shapes in the pattern is gradually decreased moving up the pant legs starting from a hemmed edge up to a knee area. The pattern is visible during wet conditions and not visible during dry conditions.

An article of apparel such as a rain jacket includes a composite fabric formed of a textile layer including a plurality of yarns, each yarn including five to twenty-five filaments having non-circular cross-sectional shapes and a sealing layer applied as a coating directly to the interior surface of the textile layer and having a thickness of about 10 micrometers to about 30 micrometers.

The present invention aims to provide an ink ejection stabilizer that can impart high ejection stability, for example, to an ink such as an ink-jet printing ink. The present invention relates to an ink ejection stabilizer including a polymer (A) that has, in a Kratky plot of a scattering profile determined by a small-angle X-ray scattering method using synchrotron radiation, at least one local minimum in the range where a scattering vector q is 0 nm.sup.1 to 2 nm.sup.1. An aqueous solution of the polymer (A) (polymer (A) concentration: 20 mass %) has a parallel light transmittance of 85% or more.

A method of manufacturing a textured former and a glove made therefrom, wherein the method comprises preparing a hand-shaped ceramic greenware, scanning the hand-shaped ceramic greenware to generate a digital 3D hand-shaped greenware model, modelling a pair of stencil covers with curvy texture line based on the digital 3D hand-shaped greenware model, printing the stencil covers, creating a curvy palm texture on the hand-shaped ceramic greenware with the aid of the stencil covers, firing the hand-shaped ceramic greenware with curvy palm texture in a kiln and dipping the hand-shaped ceramic former with curvy palm texture in an aqueous colloidal dispersion to produce glove with curvy palm texture.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment and/or has one or more sections of waterproof or water-resilient fabric. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

The present invention provides a glove having a skin made from an aqueous urethane resin composition including an aqueous urethane resin (A), an aqueous medium (B), and a fluorine compound (C), in which the fluorine compound (C) is a fluorine compound (C-1) that is a polymer of a polymerizable monomer (c1-1) having a fluorinated alkyl group having 4 to 6 carbon atoms and a polymerizable monomer (c1-2) having a polyoxyethylene structure represented by general formula (2), or a fluorine compound (C-2) that is a polymer of a polymerizable monomer (c2-1) having a polymerizable unsaturated group at both ends of a poly(perfluoroalkylene ether) chain and a polymerizable monomer (c2-2) having a polyoxyalkylene structure represented by general formula (4).

The present invention provides a glove including a coagulated film of an aqueous polyurethane composition containing anionic polyurethane (A), which has an oxyalkylene group content within a range of 4 to 12 mol/kg and a urea bond content of 0.2 mol/kg or less, and an aqueous medium (B). The anionic polyurethane (A) is preferably the reaction product of polyoxytetramethylene glycol, a glycol having a carboxyl group, ethylene glycol, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate or the reaction product of polyoxytetramethylene glycol, a glycol having a carboxyl group, butanediol, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The average particle diameter of the anionic polyurethane (A) is preferably within a range of 0.01 to 1 m.
