Abstract
A method of making garment material, the method having the steps: applying coagulant (34) to a substrate (32); applying a foam (38) of the polymeric material to the substrate (32); allowing the coagulant (34) to coagulate some of the foam (38); and removing uncoagulated foam (38) from the substrate (32) to leave a layer of coagulated polymeric material on the substrate (32).
Claims42
A method of making garment material, the method having the steps:
- providing a substrate;
- applying coagulant to the substrate;
- applying a foam of a polymeric material to the substrate;
- allowing for the coagulant to coagulate some of the foam, leaving some of the foam uncoagulated;
- and
- removing the uncoagulated foam from the substrate to leave a layer of the coagulated polymeric material on the substrate.

A garment material having a substrate and a layer of coagulated polymeric material penetrating at least partially the substrate, wherein the garment or garment material has a water vapour permeability in the range 3.5 to 6.5 mg·cm−2·h−1.
A garment material having a substrate and a layer of coagulated polymeric material penetrating at least partially the substrate, wherein the garment or garment material, when subjected to a temperature of 20±2° C. and a relative humidity of 65±2% for 265 minutes, holds between 1.0 mg and 8.5 mg of water per cm2 of the garment or garment material.
A garment material having a substrate and a layer of coagulated polymeric material penetrating the substrate, wherein the polymeric material does not fully penetrate the substrate.
56-57. (canceled)
Apparatus for producing garment material comprising a mould arranged to support a substrate, foam application means arranged to apply foam of a polymeric material to the substrate, and foam removing means arranged to remove uncoagulated foam from the substrate to leave a layer of coagulated polymeric material on the substrate.
