Abstract
A formulation for manufacturing an antimicrobial article is provided. The formulation comprises a PVC resin, a plasticizer blend, a stabilizer, a powdered antimicrobial agent, a surfactant and a dispersing agent. A process for manufacturing an antimicrobial PVC glove is also provided. Firstly, an effective amount of a powered antimicrobial agent is allowed to suspend in a polymer plastisol including a PVC resin, a plasticizer blend, a stabilizer, a surfactant and a dispersing agent. Then, a shape of the glove is dipped into a mixture of the polymer plastisol and powered antimicrobial agent. Then, the mixture on the shape is cured so as to form the glove.
