Damage-resistant gloves with breach-indicator function

A method of producing a multi-layered cover, comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a former;
• b. immersing said former in a first coagulator liquid, to an immersion depth d1, then retracting and drying said former;
• c. immersing said former in a first latex dispersion to an immersion depth d2, then retracting and drying said former, yielding a first latex covered former;
• d. applying chemically functionalized particles to said first latex covered former to an immersion depth d3;
• yielding a particle treated former;
• wherein said particles are
• in a non-functionalized state characterized by a mean diameter of ≤100 μm and a surface comprising exposed OH groups, and
• chemically functionalized with a compound comprising hydrophobic groups;
• e. immersing said particle treated former in a second latex dispersion to an immersion depth d4, then retracting and drying said particle treated former;
• yielding a second latex covered former, wherein d1≥d2>d3 and d1≥d4>d3;
• f. removing the applied layers from said coated former, yielding said multi-layered cover.
