Abstract:
1. An elastomeric glove comprising: a glove substrate formed from a formulation containing a carboxylated nitrile-butadiene random terpolymer composition having a glass transition temperature (Tg) in a range of about −15° C. to about −30° C., and between 0-1.5 parts of an alkali monovalent salt and 0.5-1.5 parts of a metallic oxide wherein the total combined amount of the alkali monovalent salt and metallic oxide is greater than 1.0 part per 100 dry parts of rubber consisting of the carboxylated nitrile-butadiene random terpolymer, the glove substrate having a thickness of from about 0.05 to about 0.12 mm in a palm region of the glove, the glove substrate requiring a force of less than or equal to about 2.5 N to cause a 400 percent elongation (F-400) from initial dimensions and the glove substrate further exhibiting a substantially linear force-to-strain response up to about 300 percent elongation (F-300) from initial dimensions when tested in accordance with ASTM D412-98a and the glove further comprising an inner, donning surface and an exterior, gripping surface, and a release coating on the exterior, gripping surface, wherein the release coating is selected from a silicone emulsion, silicone oil, a glycerin solution, a mixture of silicone and glycerin/glycerol, a fluorocarbon release agent, a natural or synthetic hydrocarbon-based oil, and combinations thereof.
