Thin organic solvent resistant glove
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11944143B2) discloses a thin organic solvent resistant glove designed to withstand exposure to acetone. The glove comprises three polymeric layers in the shape of a glove, with the first layer being a blend of polyisobutylene material and nitrile-butadiene material, the second layer being a blend of polyisobutylene material and nitrile-butadiene material, and the third layer being either nitrile-butadiene material or acrylic polymer material. The third layer is thinner than the first two layers, providing resistance to acetone. The glove is designed to have a thickness ranging from about 10 mils to 13 mils, with the first polymeric layer typically serving as the exterior layer.
Furthermore, the patent details variations in the composition of the polymeric layers, with specific ranges of polyisobutylene and nitrile-butadiene material specified for optimal resistance to organic solvents. The glove can also have different thickness ranges, with some embodiments featuring a thickness from about 13 mils to 10 mils. Additionally, another embodiment of the glove includes an inner polymeric layer, a middle polymeric layer, and an external polymeric layer, each comprising specific materials to enhance resistance to acetone. The middle layer, typically a blend of polyisobutylene material and nitrile-butadiene material, plays a crucial role in providing the necessary protection against organic solvents. Overall, the patent highlights the innovative design of a thin organic solvent resistant glove that offers improved protection and durability in various industrial and laboratory settings.
