FLEXIBLE ELASTOMERIC ARTICLE WITH ENHANCED LUBRICITY

摘要

Flexible elastomeric articles such as surgeons' gloves include a slip-conferring coating to contact the user's skin or other tissue, the coating comprising a binder with microparticles adherently distributed therein, the particles having an oil absorption of at least 80g/100g, the coating having surfactant on its exposed surface. Microparticle materials include silica and other inorganic powders, and synthetic polymers such as polyamides and cellulose acetate.
