Description

DESCRIPTION

DISPOSABLE ELASTIC GLOVE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a disposable glove whose components give it an elastic nature that promotes user comfort despite being made of a thermoplastic elastomer.

The object of the invention is to offer an elastic glove at an attractive price.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Safety gloves against chemical risks are widely used, especially in laboratories and cleaning companies as they are individual protection equipment against chemical substances that could cause burns or irritations when coming into direct contact with the user's skin.

In the current state of the art, disposable elastic gloves are well known. Specifically, this type of glove is made up of nitrile that gives the glove elasticity.

However, this type of nitrile gloves must be marketed at a high price due to the use of nitrile, which is a high-cost raw material.

For all these reasons, the applicant of this utility model identifies the need to develop a glove that is economically more attractive, offering elasticity and being disposable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended glove resolves the aforementioned problem in a fully satisfactory way, by offering an external appearance structure that evokes the latex or nitrile gloves, and which advantageously offers an elastic character, being a single-use glove, whose manufacturing cost is of great interest since it is substantially lower than known nitrile gloves with similar behavior.

Specifically, the disposable elastic glove of the invention is made up of at least the following components:

- At least 60% plastomer, having at least 10% thermoplastic elastomer or TPE (for its acronym in English thermoplastic elastomer) (with respect to the total weight of the composition),

- A propylene elastomer,

- At least 7% linear low density polyethylene,

- An anti-block component,

- Calcium carbonate, and

- An additive of oleamide and HDPE (for its acronym in English High Density Polyethylene), where the oleamide is found at 15% in the additive and HDPE at 85%.

The glove of the invention completely covers the user's hand, with individual coverage for each finger and optionally includes at least 5% of a mono-pigment organic paint, thus favoring visual identification for the user. Said mono-pigment organic paint will give an opaque white or blue finish.

In any case, the glove of the present invention is free of natural rubber latex and offers a smooth and homogeneous external surface that improves both dry and wet adherence. Its elastic behavior provides an anatomical, conformable and resistant fit.

On the other hand, it should be noted that after the corresponding tests, the compliance of the elastic disposable gloves of the present invention has been verified for a penetration resistance of a breakthrough time greater than or equal to 30 minutes for at least 6 chemical products. from the list (EN 16523-1), obtaining the ISO 374-1:2016/A1:2018 type A/B/C certificate.

Finally, it should be noted that the glove of the invention has passed the tests required to obtain the ISO 374-5:2016 level 1/2/3 certificate, that is, it protects against bacteria, fungi and viruses.

And it has also passed the EN 455-1:2000 tests; EN 455-2:2015; EN 455-3:2015 on medical gloves, meaning that the gloves developed are suitable for medical use.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the disposable elastic glove of the invention is made up of the following components:

- 61% plastomer, having 10.5% of a thermoplastic elastomer,

- 20% of a propylene elastomer,

- 7.6% linear low density polyethylene,

- 1% of an antiblock component,

- 2% calcium carbonate,

- 2.9% of an oleamide and HDPE additive, where oleamide is 15% in the additive and HDPE is 85%, and

- 5% of a single pigment organic paint.

Advantageously, the detailed composition makes it possible to obtain a glove with elastic behavior that offers a complete adaptation to the user's hand, being very easy to put on and use.

It should be noted that the inclusion in the composition of the glove of the invention of 5% of a mono-pigment organic paint gives it a certain coloration that makes it easily visually identifiable.
