Abstract
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.
Claims18
A polymeric glove having an interior surface for contacting a hand of a user, the interior surface including a donning-facilitating coating configured to facilitate a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove, the donning-facilitating coating comprising a polyurethane resin-containing solution and a colorant configured to leave a visible residue on the hand of the user when the donning-facilitating coating is contacted by the hand of the user having an alcohol-based disinfectant thereon, the polyurethane resin-containing solution comprising a polyurethane resin, silicon dioxide, a surfactant, and water.
A polymeric glove having an interior surface for contacting a hand of a user, the interior surface including a donning-facilitating coating configured to facilitate a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove, the donning-facilitating coating comprising a polyurethane resin-containing solution and a modifier configured to retain the polyurethane resin-containing solution on the interior surface of the glove such that substantially no visible residue is left on the hand of the user when the donning-facilitating coating is contacted by the hand of the user having an alcohol-based disinfectant thereon.
