Abstract:
1. An elastomeric glove formed from a carboxylated nitrile-butadiene rubber latex formulation comprising an acrylonitrile terpolymer, wherein: the formulation has an acrylonitrile content between 17 and 45% by weight, a methacrylic acid content of less than 15% by weight, and wherein the remainder of the formulation contains butadiene, wherein the formulation further includes, in terms of parts per 100 dry parts of rubber consisting of the random terpolymer: 0-1.5 parts alkali hydroxide, 0.5-1.5 parts zinc oxide or other metal oxide, 0.5-1.5 parts sulfur, and 0.5-1.5 parts rubber accelerator, wherein the glove has a palm thickness between 0.05 and 0.10 mm, a tensile strength at break of 30 MPa to 55 MPa, and an elongation at break of about 550-750%.
