<p>An article comprising at least one cured, liquid-impervious polymeric shellsubstantially free from defects, at least one liner, and a non-tacky, thermoplasticadhesive layer between the shell and the liner, wherein the adhesive layer ismelted and solidified to create a non-tacky bond between the shell and the liner,which can be moisture-absorbing or cut-resistant, whereby the liner supportsand limits stretch ability of the shell, thereby preventing adhesive delaminationbetween the adhesive layer and either of the shell and/or the liner; a method forthe manufacture of an article comprising a supported, polymeric shell, suchas a glove, a gauntlet, an apron, or a boot, comprising providing a cured, liquid-impervious,polymeric shell, providing a knitted/woven liner, incorporating a non-tacky,thermoplastic adhesive layer between the shell and the liner, such as by hot-meltspraying, dry-powder spraying or fiber-coating, creating intimate contactbetween the shell, the adhesive layer, and the liner, subjecting the shell, theadhesive layer, and the liner to infrared radiation to melt the adhesive layerand create a bond between the shell and the liner, and cooling the shell; as wellas other methods.</p> |
