Water-based coating for rubber articles

摘要

The present invention is directed to the use of a polymer coating composition having a high Tg polymer with a Tg of greater than -10 DEG C and fumed silica particles for the coating on natural and synthetic rubber articles, particularly for latex gloves. The coating for rubber articles, provides a surface coating that reduces friction between the latex and the hand to allow convenient donning. The coating composition is deliverable from aqueous solution.
