Abstract
A method for producing a protective glove comprises preheating a dipping mold and fitting a knitted glove onto the dipping mold. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is immersed in a saline solution. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then removed from the saline solution and dried. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then immersed into a foamed latex compound with carbon fibers having a diameter between 2 μm to 25 μm. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then removed from the latex compound and dried. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then immersed in a water bath and then dried at a temperature between 100° C. to 130° C. before removing the finished glove from the dipping mold.

A protective glove comprising:
- a first layer comprising,
- a polymer foam, and
- carbon fibers with a diameter of between 2 μm and 25 μm;
- and
- a second layer, wherein the first layer at least partially covers the second layer.
A method for producing a first layer of a protective glove, the method comprising:
- providing a latex compound;
- adding carbon fibers to the latex compound, wherein the carbon fibers comprise a diameter of 2 μm to 25 μm;
- incorporating a predefined volume of air into the latex compound containing the carbon fibers to foam the latex compound;
- and
- immersing a dipping mold in the foamed latex compound.
A method for producing a protective glove, the method comprising:
- preheating a dipping mold that comprises a shape of a hand;
- fitting a knitted glove onto the dipping mold, wherein the knitted glove comprises a textile substrate material;
- immersing the dipping mold with the knitted glove in a coagulating saline solution;
- removing the dipping mold with the knitted glove from the coagulating saline solution;
- drying the dipping mold with the knitted glove;
- providing a latex compound;
- adding carbon fibers to the latex compound, wherein the carbon fibers comprise a diameter of 2 μm to 25 μm;
- incorporating a predefined volume of air into the latex compound containing carbon fibers to foam the latex compound;
- immersing the dipping mold with the knitted glove in the latex compound to coat the knitted glove;
- removing the dipping mold with the knitted glove from the latex compound;
- pre-drying the dipping mold with the knitted glove;
- immersing the dipping mold with the knitted glove in a water bath;
