SUMMARY OF FIELD TEST RESULTS VINYL COSMETIC GLOVES,

Abstract

From the results of the field tests and the laboratory determinations of physical properties it becomes clear that the three gloves studied here are superior over-all to the currently avail able commercial gloves and are as good as or bet ter than any of the dilaminar gloves tested. Since the dilaminar gloves involve additional steps in processing and would therefore be more costly a monolaminar glove with much the same properties is preferred. The choice of a glove material for further developmental work shall be based upon the following criteria: (1) Physical properties of the vinyl material, most impor tantly flexibility, extensibility (modulus) and stain resistance; (2) Ease of processing the plastisol into a cosmetic glove; and (3) Avail ability of raw materials.
