Successful Manufacture of Fabric-Lined Gloves

Manufacturer: We are manufacturing industrial supported gloves. Please explain the importance of coagulant and latex stability to ensure good quality gloves.

John Woon (Senior Latex Consultant): The strength of the coagulant (e.g. calcium nitrate) should be adjusted so that it is sufficiently strong to ensure adequate latex pick-up but not too strong that it prevents the penetration of the coagulant into the fabric otherwise the rubber to fabric adhesion would be poor.


The latex stability must be adjusted so as not to penetrate the fabric liner right through (i.e. strike through).
