POLYMER LATEX COMPOSITION FOR DIP-MOLDING APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a polymer latex composition for dip-molding applications comprising the reaction product obtained by free-radical emulsion polymerization in aqueous medium of ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising (a) 19.9 to 90 wt.-% of at least one aliphatic conjugated diene; (b) 9.9 to 80 wt.-% of at least one unsaturated nitrile; (c) 0.1 to 10 wt.-% of at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid; (d) 0 to 19 wt.-% of at least one aromatic vinyl compound, and (e) 0 to 20 wt.-% of at least one further ethylenically unsaturated compound different from any of compounds (a) to (d), the weight percentages being based on the total amount of monomers, wherein the emulsion polymerization is conducted in presence of a degraded polysaccharide having a DE of 2 to 90 measured according to ISO 5377 (1981- 12-15) to a method for making said polymer latex composition, to a curable polymer latex compound comprising said polymer latex composition, to a method for making dip molded latex films employing said curable polymer latex compound, to a film made from said polymer latex composition and to articles comprising said film or being coated with said polymer latex composition.
