<p>THE INVENTION DESCRIBED HEREIN INCLUDESA REPELLENT ELASTOMERIC ARTICLE PILTICULARLY USEFUL IN INDUSTRIAL AND MEDICAL FIELDS, SUCH AS GLOVES. THE ARTICLE CONTAINS AN ELASTOMERIC BASE AND A FLUID-REPELLENT COATING COMPOSITION THAT EFFECTIVELY REPELS BOTH HYDROPHILIC AND LIPOPHILIC LIQUIDS FROM ITS SURFACE. THE COATING, COMPRISES A LOW SURFACE ENERGY INGREDIENT, SUCH AS A FLUOROALKYL ACRYLIC POLYMER. IN A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT, THE LOW SURFACE ENERGY INGREDIENT IS IN COMBINATION WITH A HYDROPHOBIC INGREDIENT, SUCH AS A WAX-BASED DISPERSION. ARTICLES PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INVENTION REDUCE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION ASSOCIATED WITH BLOOD AND OTHER BODY FLUIDS, AS WELL AS REDUCE FLUID- BASED VISUAL OBSTRUCTION AND ENHANCE THE CLARITY OF MEDICAL PROCEDURES. THE INVENTION ALSO PROVIDES A FLUID-REPELLENT COATING COMPOSITION FOR ELASTOMERIC ARTICLES, A PROCESS FOR PREPARING A FLUID-REPELLENT ELASTOMERIC ARTICLE, AND A METHOD OF REDUCING THE ABILITY OF FLUIDS TO ADHERE TO THE SURFACE OF ALL ELASTOMERIC ARTICLE.</p> |
