Abstract

Impermeable relatively thin resin film having a granular textured surface which is adapted to be made into articles such as surgeons'"'"''"'"' gloves is disclosed. The films are made from liquid dispersions of vinyl chloride polymers in a suitable plasticizer. The liquid dispersion or plastisol is applied to a suitable form to provide film of the resin dispersion thereon. The resin film is heat set and has applied thereto in a non-uniform distribution particles of a granular vinyl chloride polymer which becomes embedded therein, then the film is heat cured thereby forming a film having a granular textured surface.

Claims

2. The seamless disposable glove of claim 1 wherein the textured surface is the inner surface of the glove.

3. The seamless disposable glove of claim 1 wherein the particles applied to the impermeable relatively thin resin film are predominantly concentrated around the palm and cuff portion of said glove and sparsely distributed around the finger stall zones of said glove.

4. The seamless disposable glove of claim 1 wherein said impermeable film thickness is from 2-5 mils.

5. The seamless disposable glove of claim 1 wherein the particle size of the granular vinyl chloride polymer is less than about 5 mils.

6. The seamless disposable glove of claim 1 wherein the particle size of granular vinyl chloride polymer is from about 0.1 to about 4 mils.
